[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok sure, keep proving my point. Everyone living in proper cities feels this way: Manhattan, London, Paris, San Francisco. No one is sending the memo to the burbs. Bethesda isn’t DC; neither is McLean (I’ll allow Chain Bridge). Croydon isn’t London. Don’t get Parisians started on people pretending to be from Paris. [/quote] Manhattan is not a city. I lived there for many years and never answer the question "where are you from" with "I am from Manhattan". That would be as weird as saying "I am from near DC" or "I am from Great Falls". [i]If the person wants to know more[/i], which is often not the case, they say "where in NYC" or "where in DC". ONLY THEN you say "I live in Bethesda" or "I live in Manhattan". The person asking needs to show you that they actually care about those details before you start giving them your zip code.[/quote]
