I went to Manhattan today from Brooklyn (where I'm from) and it hit me that Manhattan and the other boroughs are completely different worlds. Don't get me wrong, I understand the Manhattan is where most (not all) of the stuff happens. Walking around, I saw MANY people from other states/countries and I even met people from California and Missouri and I couldn't relate because they're not from N.Y.
I have a new found respect for TRUE New Yorkers living outside of Manhattan because they would never stick their furniture in a Manhattan apartment. Manhattan is turning into "yuppie central" and I hate it ( I think it's coming into Brooklyn as well). If I ever leave Brooklyn (which I'm sure will never happen), I'll only move my *** Staten Island or Queens.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
