Brash and tacky, maybe, but I love the buzz in Times Square, the thrill of actually being on Broadway, the relative calm of Central Park, the charm of Greenwich Village, the view of the skyline (especially at night) from the Staten Island Ferry - oh, I could get as lyrical as Sinatra LOL!Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-14325564395534483022012-05-03T15:26:56.466-07:002012-05-03T15:26:56.466-07:00Paula, I was in New York once for a whirlwind week...Paula, I was in New York once for a whirlwind weekend...I don't really have a desire to go back.<br /><br />Jennifer...eeek! That's definitely not the place for me. I already own too many pairs of boots and not enough cows. Now that I think of it, my country books do have more of a 'big sky' setting. I never actually say where it is, but there are mountains around.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-49474521125112928222012-05-03T11:46:00.719-07:002012-05-03T11:46:00.719-07:00Mmm, I do like country, but I prefer big sky, like...Mmm, I do like country, but I prefer big sky, like Montana or Wyoming. Love country music because of its lyrics, not necessarily the instruments. But warning, don't move to Montana, Deb. According to the weird laws on its books, you can't own cowboy boots unless you already own at least 2 cows.Jennifer Wilckhttp://www.jenniferwilck.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-13240708187308751292012-05-03T10:47:24.577-07:002012-05-03T10:47:24.577-07:00In reply to Ana's comment, I found people in N...In reply to Ana's comment, I found people in NYC to be really helpful, especially when I was standing on a corner with a street map in my hand wondering which way to go! Several times people stopped and said 'Hi, can I help you? What are you trying to find?' One time a young woman actually took us to the subway station we were looking for.<br /><br />And when I was in Florida at Christmas, I met a Texan guy and if I had a dollar for each time he said 'Yes, ma'am' in the course of a 10 minute conversation, I'd be rich LOL!Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-30319592334948949452012-05-03T10:40:32.847-07:002012-05-03T10:40:32.847-07:00Ana,

What struck me first was how total strangers always stopped to help if I was in trouble. That didn't happen in NYC.Ana Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325215832587691886noreply@blogger.com
