New York City (Grand Central)
New York City is a place of – everything. I’m not going to list them all because I’m 21 and probably have 21 more years to go. But New York has everything. Think of something. What did you think of? Strip clubs. That’s the first thing you thought of. Well, NYCs got that and everything else your perverted mind thought of. So NYC is a place of everything – for example, writers and filmmakers. New York City is so rich in history and has so many different meanings to its 8 million people. So many writers and filmmakers have tried to capture everything NYC is about in writing and films, but this is impossible despite what the new Muhammad Ali advertisement claims. With that said, I think Grand Central is a great place that illustrates much of what NYC is about. Grand Central – Terminal, not Station because I read, “Grand Central is the place were the train lines originate and terminate” (NYC Tourist – Grand Central Terminal 1). Grand Central is the place where many New Yorkers or visitors begin and end their day. Over 150,000 people use the terminal a day (NYC Tourist – Grand Central Terminal 1) and over 500,000 visit the place (History Channel). Any type of person can be found there. All races – blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, whites who think they’re black (Vanilla Ice types) and blacks who think they’re white (Byrant Gumbel types). You can find Wall Street look-a-likes wearing their long pee jackets along with the New York Times reading, stinky smelling, headphone listening while acting the rapper, Fundraising impersonator and on the wrong train expressionator – that’s me and has been every new New Yorker. We will take a closer look at some of the types later, but first in case you don’t know – what is Grand Central?
