I remember reading that when it first came out 2 years ago.
I got a good chuckle.

There's a reason why I live here in Colorado instead of NYC where I grew up.
That article does a fair job of explaining it.

NYC was still marginally fun pre-9/11....had some fragments of what once made it an ok place

post 9/11 the suckage went epic

After Mayor Koch's tenure it began descent into decline...

Giuliani kept things glued together for a while

but set the stage for the new sterile NY

or maybe I just hit an age where I could no longer kid myself

sounds like the author of that Onion article just had his moment of "clarity"

I must have wrote that in my sleep and sent it to The Onion?


I need to stop sleep writing.

And now people complain that south Florida is a crappy place..... go figure.

Ha!  I love the Onion.

When I used to commute via NJT to the city I had the Onion app on my phone and a few news apps (CNN, BBC) and usually on the train ride home I would read Onion stories for humor and then move onto real news.  But the funny thing was, my brain couldn't make the shift---all the CNN/BBC story titles kept sounding like an Onion title and I couldn't tell whether I was reading a joke or not.   You realize how absurd the real world is when it's indistinguishable from the satire world.
