Things I don't like about New York

| life | nyc | writing |
  1. City hall is closed off, it says authorized personnel only.
  2. Garbage piling up in the streets.
  3. It’s too hot in the summer.
  4. Why do they allow helicopters to fly over the city?
  5. All the bankers on Wall St. seem like really terrible people.
  6. Some parts smell really bad, especially garbage.
  7. Hotel rooms are too small.
  8. “They closed everything real down.”
    1. “Life cafe” shut down.
    2. Village Voice shut down.
    3. Paradise garage shut down.

The #1 thing I don’t like is that I don’t live here.
