i cant speak for them, but I am from northern NJ and go into the city all the time
I think its funny that we from that area call it "the city" and every other city has a name -i.e. Boston, where I am going to school.
And as much as I am in Boston for school - NYC will always be the best city, hands down and hopefully I'm gettin an internship there over the summer ::crosses fingers::
maybe one day ill run into you fellow bond fans, lol

I live in Manhattan on the West Side, right next to Central Park.
awww you guys live in cool places. I live in boring ol' Boulder CO where exciting things are far and few. *sigh* Hey maybe when I'm east this summer I'll run into people. I'm prolly going to the city for a show ^_^ and I'm gonna be in Newton NJ for a few weeks.
I resided in the city briefly(The Kitchen) but decided to venture out to the south...
What is The Kitchen? I'm simply a Southeastern guy and don't get out much.
Hell's Kitchen
And not that chef show on television...
Of course I've heard that the politicians and yuppies have given it a facelift since I've been away and it's called something else now... Clinton I think.

A facelift means little. I mean, Giuliani cleaned up a lot of the city, but Bloomberg has been letting it go to hell. There have been a massive amount of muggins around my school. Nothing lately, but the first day it snowed in NYC, there were five muggings in one morning! I think a few of the perps were caught, but still.

Ahhh, I remember looking out of my window to 1.5 muggings everyday in the Kitchen. It'll always be that to me regardless of whatever it's called now.
It's only a facelift in the academic sense...

I used to walk home across the park, as my school is only across the park, but I really can't in the Winter. I almost got mugged by this large group of guys. Thankfully I know the park well and am quick on my feet. Also, thankfully, that was the only time I almost got mugged.

Classic ). I'll bet that was a Cinemax moment. I'm trying to picture that now. What did you have? A nice coat? Shoes? Lunch money or all of the above?
I was fortunate that that never happened to me. I learned to walk the streets up there with an expression that I wasn't to be toiled with. Don't know really but it worked.

That was last year. Actually, it was the first day I ever wore my new Omega to school, although they never saw that, how could they? No, it was most likely cause they were a group of big guys and I wasn't. I doubt anything would happen now, I look much too confident now, but who knows. I've got some tough friends, too.
haha that's how I look every day. There are surprising amounts of creepy older guys in Boulder, namely the Hobos who live in a park near my school. They talke to us, follow us and fight with each other all the time.
Oh, and I miss HELL'S KITCHEN the TV show...really I do...it was funny. Too bad it only ran one season, it should come back.

The funny thing is that I dress a lot better now than I did last year, but nothing has happened.

Whoa. I was grown and working before I bought my first Omega watch! )
Now my 8 year old son has the audacity to ask for a razor-lined cellphone for his birthday! I was about to go get him drug tested behind that request. )

HAHAHAHA! I think he's a bit better than that. *wipes tears of mirth from eyes* For me it's jeans, my vans and a black show shirt, band shirt or random funny things. ^_^

It was a gift, the Omega. I wear Joseph Abboud shirts with a pair of jeans and some black loafers. Also, I usually wear a brown leather jacket. It's a very Danny Blue look, RA, but I'm having trouble finding columnn pattenrs as opposed to veritcal stripes all over the shirt.

hehe this is funny. I was doing some reserch on the original ITALIAN JOB and seeing if Stanley Caine was related to Michael Caine (Stanley is Michael's younger brother) and this popped up at me on Michael's mini bio: Born Maurice Micklewhite in London XDDD Maurice...does he look like a Maurice to you? It's prolly since I'm used to him as Sir Michael Caine that this is funny. Anywhoodle, had to share. Goodnight all!
Aye, I knew about Sir Michael Caine's real name. There are some funny ones out there;
Cary Grant, formerly known as Archibald Leach.
Sir Cliff Richard, formerly known as Harry Webb.
Sir Sean Connery, formerly known as Thomas Connery.
Charles Gray, formerly known as Donald Marshall Gray.
Telly Savalas, formerly known as Aristotle Savalas.
...to name but a few.

Man...to be loved like that. I salute you.
I'm still trying to sweet talk my wife into buying me this Oris automatic I want badly as my next birthday present or Christmas maybe.
I'm taking the "Ralphie" approach by leaving watch ads and mags on her side of the bed...
