Re: Fell in Love with NYC


I see there are quite a few pics of you and your honey. Did you have any difficulty finding someone to take a photo for you?
Sammy - this pic so nice. You and “Mr. Sammy” so cute together!

Fell in Love with NYC

Wow - your pictures are wonderful! I was a first-timer to NYC last year ... had been told for years by many "friends" who were NYers that I would HATE it...and I had such a good time that I went back twice in 6 months. <span style="color: #FF0000"> I am also still hunting down my college roomie who assured me that I'd be such a mark I'd likely be mugged at the airport...</span> [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]

Unlike you, I wasn't smart enough to take photos. Oh yeah, I had my camera with me almost all the time, but I was just so spellbound by the sights, smells, sounds, etc. that I kept forgetting to take pictures. On all 3 trips. Now you make me feel like I have to get some this summer when I return.

Thanks again Sammy - you have really brightened my day. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Fell in Love with NYC

It's been quite a while since I've been to NYC and I figured it would take something dramatic to get me there (too crowded and it doesn't 'grab' me), but after seeing your pics, I'm thinking its not so bad after all. Great pics and thanks for sharing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Fell in Love with NYC

Visiting NY is great, but living there is the absolute worst.

Also, it really is NOT a safe city. I couldn't wait to get away and now I have to go back on business next month so I am flying in on the last flight and jetting out exactly the moment my meeting is over.

There are very cool places to visit but those that live there have to face pressures like economic pressures, the filth, homelessness, mounting costs for everything while service is lacking. Riding a subway is cool because you are experiencing it for the first time, now picture being stuck in a hot car on a 90 degree day, packed like sardines and a homeless man who hasn't bathed for the length of time he's been homeless is rubbing against you and chooses to releive himself righ there.

I have seen women assaulted by perverts who grabbed their private parts then run as the train door opens.

There is nos ecurity on the trains. Two girls were trying to stab each other once and the conductor told us he has a schedule to cover.

You have no protection in NYC from anything unlessyou live in certain area codes. Try calling those idiot cops in NY, they should all be demoted and paid 25 bucks an hour, especially the precinct on Laconia avenue in teh Bronx. They will shoot an unarmed black man in a minute but let a woman call them, they will show up 30 minutes later adn ahve an attitude.

Oh then if you are lucky to own a home, you have to pay an arm and a leg and taxes keep going up so you take a second job to pay for it right????? Wrong, while you are away the animals will throw garbage infront of you yard and a sanitation officer will come and give you tickets when you are at work. Don't fight it though because the judge will conclude that even though you are at work you are still responsible. How much is the ticket $300.

OH and trust me the rats are not confined to the KFC restaurant, they are EVERYWHERE. They run all over the subway system and are as big and fat as cats.

Service delays, you would think that you would receive adequate info about subway delays and reroutes right. Yeah keep dreaming.

Many tourists are robbed and beaten, you were just lucky. A few months before I came here a homeless man hacked away at a tourist in Columbus avenue (one of the pictures I see above) and left him in the hospital th enext day.

Then a mental patient killed Kendra Webdale. A bronx man coming from work lost his feet due to being pushed over by a guy unprovoked the man just disappeared into the night.

For someone like myself who love to see the local areas, with my camera in tow, it sure sounds a tad frightening ...

Re: Fell in Love with NYC

Sammy, thanks for sharing your pics. New York is one of my most favourite places to <u>visit </u>in the US. Oh, it must be a short visit as well as I do love to sleep at nights. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]
