the things I miss
obnoxious black women a.k.a "obw"
So that happened... something you don't get to experience where I am now, which is a good thing. But I do certainly miss moments like that. I'm from NYC so that kind of spectacle was expected and welcomed. Comedy for the commuters I always thought. Public transportation has been the means of travel for the majority of my existence. The subway and buses were the norm. Bending metrocards to get free rides, jumping turnstiles, running up or down staircases to catch the train, and encounters with friends, coworkers and the homeless were frequent occurrences. I miss how connected everything in the city felt, perfect for the drunks and practical for the sober.
I do truly miss NYC and everything about it that makes it a great city to live in. Everyday had the potential for something ridiculous to happen and that was something I thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely miss those five dollar lamb gyros and the squares from my corner pizzeria. The handball courts, the diversity, and the fact that you can walk to anything are among the things I miss the most. I'd say though its the people that make any city great, and NYC has quite an impressive spectrum of people. From those I call my dear friends to the obw on buses. What a great city, I hope to visit soon.

NYC mass transit is a roulette wheel of potential awesome and misery.
