New York, New York - a city so great, they had to name it twice

No one believes that. This is not the first time you have trolled the board, either. You have a genuine disregard for others feelings and needlessly needle people like a five year old. It has nothing to do with the subject here, or your impressions of NYC. It has to do with you slinging mud without cause or justification. This thread was about an exhibit being shown in the City and an article about it as it was at the NY Historical Society. Your interject had zero purpose other than that you felt like trolling the 24 million or so people that live in the NYC Metro area.

No wonder you didn't like it here. If you did that here you would get a black eye. You are protected by being behind a keyboard so you just feel it is OK troll. It is not ok. You should stick to the subject of coins and keep your obnoxious social commentary to yourself.

I want to add the abundant amount of places to Metal Detect..

 

I was able to stay in New York for about a week. I had a blast and felt safe. It was fun just walking the streets with so many people and seeing the sites. Made me think of downtown Chicago. If I ever get to go back, I want more than just a week.
There was a really cool coin shop not far from the Empire State Building. It was too busy to get to see much but still had a lot of fun.

 

When I was in my teens and twenties, I dreamed of landing a big, high paying job that would allow me to afford to live in the city. The closet I got was as an intern at AT&T after I got my MBA. I dated a New York model for a while whose father was a bank executive who was listed in “Whose Who in Financial America.” Then AT&T hired me to go to Boston, which was actually a better city, and her parents helped put an end to the relationship.

I had lived in northern New Jersey for several years before that. I got to enjoy the theater and go into the city frequently. Looking back on it, it was the best of both worlds.

Today taxes and crime are way up from when I was there. My niece and her family paid $2 million for a co-op which is the size of my living room. Unless you are much wealthier than I am now, it’s not easy to make it there. With city in an overall decline, I would say “pass.”

 

Boy.. You guys must have real exciting lives

 

Was it Brigandi Coins?

 

I couldn't organize a clearer copy of this wonderful New Yorker Magazine cover. Way in the background, if you can't make it out, is Asia, Russia, etc. This cover made me laugh so hard and on the far left is Mexico- to the far right, Canada, of course. Loollzz. Still makes me laugh. :-D

Don't be mean to NYC - would we kick a sick patient while he's trying to recover? I hope not. Pray for NYC. There is goodness and potential here.
(By the way, a naked king is still the king.)

I can laugh when you call us unpopulated flyover country. Why can't you laugh when I call you a den of iniquity?

 

Despite its problems, it still is at its highest population numbers ever and it is not alone in suffering recent problems post COVID-19. It might have helped if we didn't elect mayors raised in Cambridge, Ma, such is life.

The city is not for everyone, otherwise we would get no tourists. We have no coin clubs, so there is that. But there is no reason to buy a Condo for $2,000,000 when there are so many fine placed to live here in the outer boroughs. We do have great numismatic resources if one has a proclivity for such things.

 

Reports of the city's demise are untrue. Yes, problems exist, politics are rancid and as in any urban environment situational awareness is a good idea. Watch your back in any city. I practice what I preach and have lived,survived and thrived in Manhattan for decades. And ride the subways and buses with ease. This article boomerangs back and forth but you'll see the city in it.
Now for what my city offers:
There are at least 83 major museums here, not to mention an estimated 1,500 art galleries, numerous auction houses, and private collections. It is a center of world fashion, banking, and one of the largest community's of working artists in the world (especially Brooklyn). A center of international diplomacy with the United Nations headquarters and over 322 foreign missions,consulates and offices here. Enjoy 520 miles of varied shoreline from the beaches of Coney Island, to City Island in the Bronx. The American War for Independence was fought and partially won here and it was the first capitol of the US. Plenty of historic landmarks from colonial times to modern, giving cities like Boston and Philadelphia a run for their money. Places like the Louie Armstrong House in St Albans, Queens, to Colonial era Wyckoff House (the second oldest building in the USA-1652) and Fraunces Tavern where Washington gave his farewell address. We even have a national park: Gateway National Park encompassing Jamaica Bay which is one of the largest wetlands in North America. Five major zoos, crowned by the Bronx Zoo on the Bronx River. NYC can lay claim to being the historic center of music for the country, central to the development of Jazz and the birthplace of Rock and Roll (thanks to the Paramount Theater in Brooklyn) and where the Beatles jumped onto the US music scene at Shea Stadium in Queens. From Lincoln Center to the Russian Cabarets in Brighton Beach music is made and enjoyed. It is a world mecca for live performance from the Blue Note in the Village to Carnegie Hall, and that's before discussing Broadway and Juilliard and Lincoln Center. It's stage theater offerings outstrip the rest of the country in total. Historically we started with Theater Court Downtown, where George Washington viewed performances, and today we still have 41 active Broadway stages, not including the Majestic Theater and the Brooklyn Academy of Music which alone might outstrip the offering of most major cities. There is Off-Broadway which includes such treasured venues as The Public which produced among other things "Hair", BAM, City Center, Lincoln Center, Townhall, The Ed Sullivan Theater, and the numerous comedy clubs and coffee houses where performers like Rodney Dangerfield, Whoopie Goldberg, Robin Williams, Bob Dylan, George Carlin, Saturday Night Live hooligans got their start. Before that NY Vaudeville gave birth to modern television and the movies with the likes of Al Jolson, Fats Waller, The Marx Brothers, etc. Its literary and print centers are alive and it was the place where great works of literature like Superman and Spider-man were created. At the Javits Center Comicon is annually held with thousands coming to enjoy their favorite action characters and each others company dressed in costume. The city has the magical ability to ignite creative juices and spark TV, publishing and interactive media. Movie theaters in the city are reopening. Just saw the new James Bond movie at the AMC theater on Upper Broadway. But- a mediocre picture. In addition to the movies, there are shows and digital venues across the city from Hayden Planetarium to the digital presentation at South Street Sea Port. NYC is probably the largest college town in North America. We have 472 schools of higher education in the city with over 34,000 out of town students living in the city studying in universities such as Colombia, NYU (my Alma Mater), SVA, Parsons, LIU, Pratt, Cooper-Union, SUNY Downstate Medical, Juilliard, the CUNY network, The New School, Pace University, St Johns University, Fordham University, Albert Einstein Medical School, Yeshiva University, Touro University, Fashion Institute of Technology, and more. If you need medical work done this is where to come. Why have Google and Facebook established major East Coast operations here? Because this is where the talent gravitates to and wants to sample and enjoy our international city's amenities. Those companies voted for NYC and injected high paying jobs and invested billions. Now that's putting your money where your mouth is. We've got two major league baseball teams, sometimes two hockey teams, two basketball teams, and zero football. NYC operates five fine golf courses — Douglaston Golf Course, Forest Park Golf Course, Flushing Meadows Golf Center, Kissena Golf Course and Van Cortland Golf Course. And ALL this just touches the surface of the cities offerings. Don't forget our internationally known ethnic communities: Little Italy, China Town, Coney Island, Times Square, Harlem, The Village, The Lower East Side, East New York, Flatbush, Brighton, Flushing, SoHo ..... etc. (Cited from and with some major editing and fact checking) https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ne...great-they-had-to-name-it-twice.388843/page-2) SEE YA in NYC, Frank

 

The only person who trolled that up was you.

It is not ok. You should stick to the subject of coins and keep your obnoxious social commentary to yourself.

 

What could be wrong with this?


*edit
@paddyman98 is that you over there?

 

Ok no more picking on NY, NY is fairly cool. However, I do think Chicago sucks.
