LOL, there was a Seinfeld episode about that.

I've always wondered why so many ITP people like NYC so much. Don't they realize it's OTP?

By the way, this thread is four years old...

It's all subjective.

I've always said you can live in New York by yourself and be sad and lonely all the time.

Or you can live in Kansas and if you're surrounded by your best friends, every day will be a blast.

A lot of it depends on where you are in life and who you are surrounded by more than anything else.

I just had to comment on the area code, though. I have lived both ITP and OTP. I live OTP now because I wanted to be able to afford a decent single family home. However, for some odd reason, I clench onto my 404 area code cell phone number and refuse to let it go.

I guess you're right, although that's tough to figure here. In many cases the suburbs are nicer than the city.

Really? Personally I despise NYC (in a loving sort of way) even though my family is from there, I grew up ITP, and I am there frequently.
