A friend of mine was wearing this last week. I haven’t liked anything so much in a long time. It says:
“It’s 100 degrees in New York and 73 in Los Angeles. It’s 30 degrees in New York and it’s still 73 in Los Angeles. There are 8 million interesting people in New York, and 73 in Los Angeles.”
L.Morells FTW. Glad to see you’re still on Team NYC despite your current address.
Do New Yorkers somehow feel threatened by Los Angeles? I’ve always found that really weird. I don’t know many Angelinos that talk about how New York sucks, but I know plenty of New Yorkers (most who have NEVER ventured west) that are very quick to pass judgement on Los Angeles (as if the pages of US Weekly are a fair representation of what it’s like to live here).
It’s as if they forget that New York is full of douchey bankers and mindless office drones. It’s not a community of 8 million artists.
And also, the weather in New York does suck! Stop being such babies about it!
Rebuttal! I think, at least for me, my admittedly irrational ill-will towards LA stems purely from the fact that many important and fun people in my life have moved there (and rightfully so, don’t get me wrong). It’s based in my own (again admittedly) selfish desire to have everyone I love in the same place.
Clearly both cities have their faults, and I personally have nothing against LA itself. It would be foolish to discount its obvious draw. Maybe New Yorkers just have a more confrontational allegiance to/pride in their city than ‘Angelinos’? Just like us New Jerseyians are far more passionate and quick to defend than people from other states.
