Hello Brooklyn...

Miss You!


REMEMBER THE WTC
Author - Vincent Pasquale, Maspeth, NY

Thank you Vincent for allowing us to share this with
our fellow New Yorkers all around the world.

Only those who grew up or lived in
NYC can understand the meaning
of this:

THERE IS NO NORTH AND SOUTH. IT'S 'UPTOWN' OR 'DOWNTOWN.' IF
YOU'RE REALLY FROM NEW YORK , YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO
CONCEPT OF WHERE NORTH AND SOUTH ARE...AND EAST OR WEST
IS 'CROSS-TOWN.'

YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN EGG CREAM.

YOU RIDE IN A SUBWAY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST
BECAUSE THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE.

YOU TAKE THE TRAIN HOME AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON
THE PLATFORM THE DOORS WILL OPEN THAT WILL LEAVE YOU
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EXIT STAIRWAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT A 'REGULAR' COFFEE IS.
IT'S NOT MANHATTAN ...IT'S THE 'CITY.'

YOU CROSS THE STREET ANY WHERE BUT ON THE CORNERS AND
YOU YELL AT CARS FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT.

YOU MOVE 3,000 MILES AWAY, SPEND 10 YEARS LEARNING THE LOCAL
LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW YOU'RE FROM BROOKLYN,
LONG ISLAND OR THE BRONX , THE MINUTE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH.

YOU RETURN AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE FIRST FOODS YOU WANT ARE
A 'REAL' PIZZA FROM LENNYS OR JOE & PATS. AND A 'REAL' BAGEL.

A 500 SQUARE FOOT APARTMENT IS LARGE.


YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT ANY HUMAN
BEING WOULD BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND A P.A.
ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE SUBWAY.

YOU WOULDN'T BOTHER ORDERING PIZZA IN ANY OTHER CITY.

YOU GET READY TO ORDER DINNER EVERY NIGHT AND MUST CHOOSE
FROM THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS WHICH ARE:�� CHINESE, ITALIAN, MEXICAN OR INDIAN.

YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GOING TO TIMES SQUARE
ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.

YOUR INTERNAL CLOCK IS PERMANENTLY SET TO KNOW WHEN
ALTERNATE SIDE OF THE STREET PARKING REGULATIONS IS IN EFFECT.

YOU KNOW WHAT A BODEGA IS.

SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU AND YOU CHECK FOR YOUR WALLET.

YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE LADY WALKING DOWN THE ROAD
HAVING A PERFECTLY NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF.

YOU PAY 'ONLY' $290 A MONTH TO PARK YOUR CAR.

YOU CRINGE AT HEARING PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HOUSTON ST. LIKE
THE CITY IN TEXAS .

THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM, NOT AN HONOR.

YOU CAN NAP ON THE SUBWAY AND NEVER MISS YOUR STOP.
(this always amazed me)

THE DELI GUY GIVES YOU A STRAW WITH ANY BEVERAGE YOU BUY,
EVEN IF IT'S A BEER.

THAT'S NEW YORK , BABY! YA GOTTA LOVE IT

You are so kind my Friend Terry. Yes, those were the days. Well,
everyone is talking about your booty, and I wished I had it this morn;
I did a Zumba Class... And the instructor had a booty like yours, which
makes dancing look better. It was fun, 'hard' worried about twisting my
knee, I faked alot of it. And lots cheeper than yours - $8 or $60 for 10 classes. Such a deal.

I just love Mia - can you send me that picture of her with that
hat and sundress. She warms my heart - (and yes, she looks like
Phyllis as a baby).. LOL

Love you TeTe... I got your Facebook email
so wanted to check here to see what was up...
and to see how you all are doing.

Paul - happy healing..
and good luck Suzie, feel better..

ALL -
[u]I hope you are all well.
Thinking of you and sending my BEST, Always[/u]!

I don't like to exclude any of you - that's why I don't like
mentioning names on my type-bys.... But I know who
you bloggers are - so while not mentioning you by name -
you and your 'needs' are still ringing in my heart :P


Catch up with you soon... Things have been hectic.
Frank has some friends staying in the area - so it's busy.

LOVE TO ALL!!! GOD BLESS!!!

..........................................

ONE MORE THING - TERRY - I AM SO PROUD OF YOU = how you created the TV 'show' - you've come along way, baby!
