Top twelve reasons to move back to New York City at the earliest opportunity:
1) Pedestrians, not (crazy Boston!) drivers, make the rules there.
2) You can stumble out of a club at 12:30 am and people are all, "where are you going so early? We have three more bars to visit!"
3) You can stumble out of a club at 12:30 am and the damn train has not closed down for the night, because the train NEVER closes down.
4) Obscenities shouted at cab poachers are taken in the spirit of drunken tomfoolery in which they are intended.
5) Keeps your attitude-throwing skills finely honed at all times.
6) The Beautiful People, while just as horrible as anywhere else, are at least frequently actually beautiful.
7) It's easy to retain your girlish figure by playing Sidewalk Quarterback.
8) The charming decay.
9) PROPER DINERS!
10) Out of the list of the coolest people I know, the highest geographical density of them is there.
11) You know you're never missing out on anything, because everything is there already.
12) New York City living makes you seem tough when you go anywhere else.

Posted by: jenniMEEP at January 27, 2003 07:22 PMA Bostonian response to your post. I wish to clarify one point.
Though it would seem from a pedestrian point of view that drivers make the traffic rules in Boston, drivers generally complain that the reverse is true. In fact, both groups are simultaneously making two different sets of rules that they tell no one about.
Posted by: Court at January 28, 2003 01:30 PMThat's fair enough, Court, but why can't Boston just adopt NYC's effective communication system of flailing, hand gestures, and obscenities? It's all in good fun, and I don't get run over. Or, you could move to the Big Apple, thus upping the cool-people-I-know percentage even more.
Posted by: Hilatron at January 29, 2003 11:30 AMFuck Boston! Really. It sucks. I'm not saying there aren't some cool people here, but c'mon, admit that you live in one of the most pansy-ass suburbs of NYC and be over with it. You know it's true.
I want to move back to NYC now. Can't someone give me a big wad of moving money and move my school to NYC? *sigh*
What will happen if I transfer into yet another school in this city? I guess we'll live. That doesn't mean I have to be happy about living here, however.
Oh yeah, I almost got run over by the trolley last night. Stupid above-ground, street-level public transportation system. ~!-(
