I visited NYC in 2002. I couldn’t believe how clean it was.
San Francisco’s Market Street and financial center was a cesspool of litter from workers and excretion from bums.
In NYC, Battery Park was clean and they kicked the bums off the benches before the tourists woke up. Wall Street was clean. Even the subway platforms were reasonbly clean and the subways felt reasonably safe, riding even until before midnight.
Giuliani did a hell of a job. I was extremely impressed.
If you never go to Egypt, you’re not missing a damn thing. The pyramids (that the occupying ragheads didn’t build but love to take credit for) are neat for a few hours, everything else about the country sucks. Everything there is about making your wallet lighter through fair means and foul. I know a guy (I swear it wasn’t me) got a camel ride out into the desert. When you get far out, let the bidding begin—they make you buy your ride back. Jerks.
