Sorry, no room at the inn.
I’ve only been here 9 years but at least they call me “that New York City boy” and not “that derned feriner.” As soon as folks realized that I left NY in NY (except for my accent) and learned that I planned on dieing here, things warmed up. Still, I know my place.

See, that's why I won't ever make a move like that. You've been there nine years, are quality people with your head & heart in the rigt place and your neighbors still don't accept you as a peer. Not for me.
