I just walked down the building to Little Ceasars and got a "Hot and Ready" pie for $5.38. What a fucking let down."Warm and Gluey" is more like it. I'm drowning it in Tabasco to eat it. :mad:

New York of course. I've been in CA for over 25 years and I'm still looking for a really, consistently good pizza joint.

The Brooklyn Bridge is definitely my favorite bridge on the continent, bar none. I love walking it.

I have never walked that bridge. I have seen it from the Manhattan side several times. I know my Dad walked from uptown Manhattan during the big blackout in the 1960's across the bridge and into Coney Island and I think my Half-sister walked it to get home during 9-11 from mid-town.

Suspension bridge experts agree that it is pretty much the greatest bridge ever in the history of bridges.

I miss the old Tacoma Narrows bridge. Now there was a bridge that knew how to challenge you.

It's odd how you can live your entire life in a place, sometimes, and miss out on what's so special about it.

David McCullough wrote a great book about the construction of the bridge... really incredible feat.

I moved to California when I was 7 and have only been back for short visits. I'm more of a tourist in love with the city ala Chihilidog than a native.

I've seen some shows on the History Channel about the construction of the bridge. Absolutely amazing for the time.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about you - just the comment about your sister, and how it took 9/11 to get her to walk across it.

And, of course, if you were walking across that bridge on 9/11, you probably weren't appreciating its beauty.

No. She worked as a mid-level exec at Macys in midtown. Her boyfriend at the time was a NYFD fireman. It was a bad year for everyone.

A good family friend was the Chief of the Emergency Room at New York Downtown Hospital at the time...

He visited us about a year later, and I'll never forget his description of madly rushing to prepare for hundreds or thousands of incoming wounded... and then getting barely any.

Ain't that the truth!

Growing up in San Diego, I think I went something like 20 years without visiting the Zoo, The Wild Animal Park, or Sea World. Let alone, all the other great things there are to do here.

Once we had kids, we got yearly passes to all of those places and have really enjoyed using them. It's amazing what you can find in your own back yard.

There's nothing like spending a day at Balboa Park (recently voted the best in the USA) and checking out all of the museums or hanging out at the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater doing cool science stuff or watching an IMAX movie in the dome.

No matter where you live, there's probably a lot more to do and see there than you think there is.

My older sister in in charge of distribution for one of the the worlds largest Pharmaceutical vendors. Since they had the closest warehouse she was tasked with getting medical supplies from across the river from New Jersey. Within 24 hours she was told to not ship anymore medical supplies and just send body bags and items of that nature.

This thread got kind of morose quickly, didn't it? :(
 
Since I have been to neither NYC or Chicago, nor have I ever had pizza from either I am going to boldly proclaim NYC to have better pizza.
