From the print and online editions of the nation's premier urban-policy magazine http://www.city-journal.org/cj-comments.xml?story=7802 Manhattan Institute Huh ? Chicago has over 9 million people in its metro area and is a mid-continental colossus, in fact the largest non-coastal economic entity in the Western hemisphere. And Brooklyn has been part of NYC for 114 years. Why is the author of this piece such a dipshit ? http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=7802#12863 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=7802#12863 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:14:36 EST I like Brooklyn and Manhattan, and it's not hard to see the difference, but as a resident of what many refer to as flyover country, it amuses me to see anyone argue that Brooklyn is more like America than Manhattan. It makes me wonder if the author "gets out" much. http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=7802#12678 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=7802#12678 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 01:32:23 EST Of interest? http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=7802#12675 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=7802#12675 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:51:39 EST
