in this subject yes. You keep talking about people who moved down their and brag about their birthplace. NEWSFLASH most of them moved down their because they were forced to by their parents. Which is why the new york pride comes with them.

Now their parents who are grown adults dont go down their bragging about new york. For the most part their pretty quite about it unless someone ask(the neighbors im guessing).

So the question of people bragging about a place they dont live no more is not the question at all.

People who brag about stuff they have no control of such as; birthplace, skin pigmentation, height, etc arent very smart to begin with.
Their loud-mouthness is just confirmation of a low IQ.

I'm not referring to children. Maybe it's your age. I really don't care about teenagers or young adults who can't get off their parents' teat. I supposed you're concerned with that aspect, I'm not and was never speaking in regards to them. This thread didn't come across as being about children as far as I saw.

My vote is that many New Yorkers I've met out of town never developed a sense of identity for themselves outside of being from the city of New York.

Kinda lame, because knowing bus schedules and the MTA subway map doesn't really do you much in the rest of the country.
Some know they just want to go back, and then you have some who were just so fed up with it- but it's home so they idealize it.

It happened to be some kind of Texas influx there. Most of the guests were walking around with their gigantic plastic mugs so that they don't have to go to the bar every couple of minutes to get a new drink, and they would just float like wales in the ocean or the pools, sporting their lobster red tans, handlebar mustache and nascar rainbow glasses. In restaurants they were overwhelmingly loud and obnoxious, going to the french restaurant to sit with their gigantic families and feast on french fries and burgers. Europeans looked so uncomfortable and had a permanent look of disdain towards some of the guests. We were embarrassed to even tell people that we're from the US, and most workers just kept assuming that we're from Italy, because we didn't have the lovely mannerisms of the Texans. I can tell you that Mexicans don't generally have a very good opinion of Americans in general, based on their constant interaction with them at various resorts. They find them stupid, loud and obnoxious, but their eyes always light up when they hear you're from NYC. I don't think I've heard people from other countries complain about New Yorkers, but they do complain about the people from the South.

Especially the younger ones who probably shed tears when their parents said their moving to ga , va etc.

It wasn't their choice so the NYC pride still stays with them.
My parents left The Bronx when their neighborhood started going to heck (think Fort Apache.) I'm on LI (where my parents had relocated to from The Bronx) and they've since been driven south by the ridiculous property taxes here.

They have their crew of transplanted NYC folk down there, but I think since they're all older retirees, they aren't rocking Yankee caps and sporting a NY-in-yo-face attitude. They still have their NYC pride -- can take the peeps outta The City, can't take The City out of the peeps.
