If it makes any of you feel better, I've spent the last three years being disdained for living in a student-housing apartment, and I'm sure that when I'm forced to move out I'll wind up having to find a place in Elizabeth.

Or in Chicago.

I only hear the "Chicago is sooo provincial" line rarely, but it does make me want to kill.

One of my favorite Brian Lehrer moments ever (during a "Manhattan versus Brooklyn" call-in a couple years ago):

Caller: "I live in Brooklyn, and I have a golden retriever, and I have to say I think Brooklyn is the best place in the U.S. to live with a dog. I live right by ____ park and..."

Brian Lehrer: "Wait a minute wait a minute. Are you honestly trying to tell me that of all the places in the U.S., BROOKLYN is the best place to have a dog?"

Caller: "No, really. I know a lot of people think it's better to live in rural areas with dogs, but it's really dangerous and you can't just let your dog roam free because it can go onto some farmer's land and then the farmer is allowed to shoot it."

Actually in MI we didn't let our dogs outside all fall (hunting season) because a) collies don't look enough UNLIKE deer to be safe, and b) technically hunters are/were allowed to shoot dogs who are "running" (that is, chasing) deer. I have no idea why...? "Running" livestock animals stresses them out, makes them produce less milk/lose weight/become tough/etc but deer are hardly livestock!

Ah ok. Nonetheless, you wouldn't exactly say Brooklyn would be a better place for dogs, right? After all it's not like you can let them out in the Fall, or any other time, in Brooklyn either.
