Honestly, I respect your opinion Gerry, but I feel that the opposite is true. At least in NYC there is cultural diversity at every turn. True, there is a starbux on every other block now. But it is still the most heterogenous place on earth. I would rather walk 10 blocks in NYC, pass an Italian, Indian, Russian and Korean restaurant and talk to people with these backgrounds at said starbux than get in my car in true suburbia and drive 20 miles to get my paper from Trip Gladhander...The Third.
