I love New York

Neon lights - shimmering neon lights. And at the fall of night, this city's made of light. - Kraftwerk.

Dude, 16.7% of Manhattanites voted for Bush. (Same percentage in El Bronx.) 16.7%! How can we not love New York?

Now, if only there were some sort of personal web diary, or log, if you will, where people could post their favorite pictures and write their ideas.

Ah, well; lacking that, we have MetaFilter.

Damn you, docpops, damn you!!

Attempt to be the first to make an obscure uber-hip cultural reference foiled again!!

Any volunteers for Trans-Europe Express?

I don't get it.

But I do love me some Kraftwerk.

cmonkey etc.: The point is, NYC's really cool despite most of the rest of the country sucking.

I'm not always so hamfistedly inarticulate, I hope.

I dunno, I just felt like giving some love to a place that still has room for all different kinds of people at a time when most of the country seems not to want to. I'm honestly sorry if you felt it was a waste of your time, or of Matt's server space.

Hey! what about San Francisco? We also voted 83% for Kerry and I'd say we're a pretty diverse bunch here too...

Yo!

Thanks for the love, my blue friends. NYC has been my city for 27 years, and I love her to death.

vacapinta: San Francisco is the New York of California.

Yeah, give props to the mighty Frisco! (I was just joshin' with the snark, adam--I liked the pics)

Adamg, I was not trying to be critical of the post, just interested in getting past your "hamfistedly inarticulate" wording to some understanding. Maybe after that criticism, who knows.

Just beautiful! New York sure looks great in the pitch dark.

There is very little neon in this thread :(

Actually, as a NYer, I'm kinda starting to like the idea of us being loathed by the rest of the country again. There's something comfortable about it, like old shoes.
