snobs

i was reading a really stupid article in nymag.com yesterday about the show NYC Prep on Bravo and have decided that it really annoyed me. it went on and on about how NYC is on a downward trajectory because of all the failed stock market bug wigs. later in the article it also talked about the Real Housewives of NYC and how one couple was afraid of what people might think and say when they decided to move from manhattan to brooklyn. 

this made me think about new york and brooklyn and me. it's a really great and exciting time to live in this borough. just take a walk in williamsburg (okay...just ignore the hipsters) and you cannot deny that art abounds. we have amazing communities forming in all of the neighborhoods and there is such a sense of life and vitality growing here. 

so i think this article was pretty dumb. the only way you could possibly think that ny is on it's way out is if you spend all of your time on wall street and uptown. as far as being tragically unhip and fearing people's opinions of you because you live in brooklyn...fuggedaboutit. brooklyn is definitely where it's at.
