Bxgrl, you think he is from the midwest? Nah, i feel like people from the midwest are more polite.. He is probably from Connecticut or Mass.
Yes, it their time to experience New York.. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts and all the wonderful new banks that will be popping up. It’s going to be just like home for them.. Just like the airport was..
Thanks for sharing.. New York is full of these stories, obviously.. Always moving and changing. Very few things, like Weinstein’s last as long as they have.
Most the places from my childhood are gone, especially the places I would go with my parents and grandparents.
That is why I love this site so much, because if someone is interested, they can go back and read all of these wonderful stories.
Thanks again.
