New York City
 
Diverse cultural heaven, seedy drug den, or shallow heartless yuppie hell?

Is it really so scary? Is it really so big? Does anyone know?

If I released polar bears on the streets would people be scared? Or would the polar bears become pennyless addicts that are spit on by rich cunts with louis vutton purses?

In short: if you live there tell me what you like.

scary if you fear heartless yuppies-- particularly in manhattan. having a starbucks in every corner cannot be good for the soul.

static-harmony 11.17.2006 06:40 PM

I never been there, but I know that I want to move there eventually. Even if it is a druggy place, and cold people, and so forth. Every major city is practically the same. Cold people, and so forth.

zedius 11.17.2006 06:42 PM

And what about the bears?

!@#$%! 11.17.2006 06:42 PM

no no-- manhattan is no longer what it was

static-harmony 11.17.2006 06:44 PM

Bears? I see no bears, I don't know what you mean by bears.

Here is a sad polar bear that never quite made it on the mean streets of new york. He spends all his money on smack, and has to resort to dumpster diving for his shitty nourishment. :(

!@#$%! 11.17.2006 06:50 PM

oh. that!

static-harmony 11.17.2006 06:51 PM

Well, that's what happens when bears don't make it in NEW YORK CITY like they say "if you could make it in New York you can make it anywhere", well this bear won't be able to make it anywhere.

Jico 11.17.2006 07:20 PM

im fucking moving there.

zedius 11.17.2006 07:27 PM

Do they really have sex in the city?

static-harmony 11.17.2006 07:28 PM

Yeah you know those porn shops you hear, they have tons of sweaty sex there.

king_buzzo 11.17.2006 07:36 PM

i would kill to go to new york

!@#$%! 11.17.2006 07:36 PM

times square is no longer what it used to be

oh, the stories i could tell, if i had no sense of shame!

static-harmony 11.17.2006 07:37 PM

See this is why I should move to New York instead of San Francisco.

!@#$%! 11.17.2006 07:44 PM

but that seedy times square from the early 90's no longer exists

now it's all disney and crap

sure, the san francisco bathhouses are mostly closed now, for what i understand, but i suspect you'll still have more fun there.

static-harmony 11.17.2006 07:46 PM

Yeah, but New York has What is it called over there where the fags meet? hmm well you know what I mean.

zedius 11.17.2006 07:49 PM

Pacmanhattan?

my times square experiences were of the hetero variety, so i couldn't tell you.

if you want new york think brooklyn though. i dont know whe is the last time you were in manhattan, but my last visit was in march and i could see that the inexorable invasion of the yuppies only continues. queens, on the other hand: queens was cool, and you could still get a loaf of fresh bread for a buck and a quarter.

and if you're thinking about photography schools in new york, try pestering chris habib, he is bound to know quite a bit on that subject...

(don't email him though. he will hate you).

static-harmony 11.17.2006 07:51 PM

Cool, I was thinking Brooklyn, but it still lightyears from now, before I actually move. So I have to decide later. Be back going to buy an ice cream from the liquor store in front of my apartment.
