New York City has always been No. 1 — but a lot – Latest News
A telling of metropolis dwelling
New York. One huge gridlock. World’s best metropolis. Place the place you’d like to park — but can’t.
Traffic indicators say: No stopping, no standing, no parking, no kidding.
Anybody in NY who speaks good English should be a foreigner. Anybody who doesn’t converse English in any respect is a cab driver.
America is lighting a candle for its 250th birthday quickly. I’m lighting one for its starting.
Back then males wore bloomers — as did ladies. Men wore stylized hairpieces, which you’ll be able to see in the present day on TV. All such habits when our land was initially inhabited 1000’s of years in the past, I’m not sure. l didn’t show up till weeks later.
First broker sale
1623 got here the Dutch. Fur merchants who clearly didn’t use up their full stock as a result of in the present day, when you observe such behinds as Kardashian and Cardi B you’ll discover mink, sable and ermine back on these backs.
The Dutch purchased this chunk of land. Cheapos, they realized we had been solely a little strip. You may stroll throughout us east to west in a half hour (minus the scaffolding), in order that they solely sprung for the price of in the present day’s cup of espresso with a luncheonette bagel thrown in. Want the bagel toasted with jelly added, you then turn out to be half proprietor of the luncheonette.
We received named Mannahatta, which means hilly island, by the Lenape. Got our first park, Bowling Green, in 1733. G. Washington, who left nagging Martha home alone, was sworn in close to there as our first president — the realm now is aware of bicycles, and guys delivering room-temperature pasta. George finally received his own statue someplace.
And we’re blessed with the US’s highest-tax metropolis as Crapdammy, who now simply moved from his beforehand cramped condominium in a non-A1 building, who plans to raise taxes in it and ship the homeless to a freezing death.

Let’s not neglect Brooklyn. Originally named for the Dutch city Breukelen. Founded on this new territory after the 1664 British takeover, it will definitely needed to exchange its crowded condominium homes. Land was costly, foundations had been crumbling, many arrivals, and — who is aware of — presumably it began back when the precise redo of the Waldorf started? My advance info is that the handover/takeover could possibly be accomplished by the time(*1*) Bernie Sanders stops spitting.
Anyone keep in mind 1964’s World’s Fair? The theme? “Peace Through Understanding.” OK?

Anyone keep in mind NYC’s Custom House? Nice spot downtown. Forget getting old crumbling landmarks, how concerning the J.P. Morgan residence on the southeast nook of thirty seventh and Madison? Built new in 1852, it’s each a library and, like me, well-preserved and landmarked.
Not solely buildings but lives have modified. I knew a wealthy, properly linked married socialite — massive East Side condominium. Problem? The teenage son. Stealing. Her jewellery. Eventually positioned in a semi-restricted operation. He’s now over it — now OK.
Whatever is going on to the world’s No. 1 metropolis — it’s not simply climate situations.
SO New York City? This customer was stopped by a mugger in a downtown alley. The customer, who had no money on him, feared the mugger would possibly harm him. So he stated: “Could I write you a check?” The mugger stated: “OK, but I’ll need to see two forms of ID.”
Only in New York, children, solely in New York.
