[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Queens, and then lived in the LI suburbs when my kids were little. Around end of elementary school/middle school I moved to NYC with them. It was the perfect timing - when they were little they had backyards and mostly empty streets to bike and skateboard and draw with chalk. Right as they were becoming old enough to take the train themselves or with an older sibling, they could get themselves places they wanted to go. In the suburbs, they need to be driven everywhere. Mayyyyyybe they could walk to one mediocre strip mall. But in the city, they can take the train to their friend in Brooklyn, to the movies, to a diner, etc. The time my son was late for school on the day he had a field trip he just took the train to the field trip location by himself and called to ask me to call the school and tell them where he was. We love living here. My kids don't care about organized sports.[/quote]
