The comments are pure NYC. The article snides that NYC’ers are too cool to be impressed with celebrity (actors) but brags it is excited by ‘real people’ (Sully, the pilot who landed the plane on the river, one of the Chilean miners). So someone else commented that Sully and the miner are exactly the type of people (from flyover country) that NYC’ers purport to hate.
I liked this comment:
The sentiment is reciprocated. My Grandfather was billeted with men from NYC during the First World War. He preferred the French, (...and if you knew his opinion of the French!) Well, let’s just say the boys from NYC didn’t impress my grandfather - they were neither men nor soldiers.
I love NYC but I do not care for the Broadway shows and the garment district. I love NYC for all for its religious institutions (eat that, NYC lefties). In my neighborhood alone, we have a choice of several private schools. There are Catholic and Jewish schools and colleges.
Indeed, one thing I don’t quite understand is why do most Christians, who are from Middle America, send their kids to secular public schools instead of creating their own religious schools like the Jews and the Catholics?
