Born and raised in NYC. Crazy 80's baby raised in the grimey 90's. We're a special breed.
I will always be proud to be a bonafide New Yorker to the core, but it ain't the same city anymore. The things I grew up on, though some of it fucked up, defined the city. It lost the grittiness that always called me back home.
I love to visit, but living there is a no go now that I know what it's like to have a big ass house, yards, land, privacy etc.
