It attracts people from all over the country (and the world). Those who are from it stay, others come along later.A similar survey anywhere else might reveal that what you read is more accurate,Tom. NYC (and environs) the greatest city in the world!

I continued the tradition (and then some) once I was on my own. So I find myself in South Orange, 786.14 miles from the Chicago suburb where I was born, but having taken the long way here... The long way in this case includes 3 continents and most major metro areas in the US.
