... I'm sure Bill always dresses 'nicely'.
For me, I will need to remember to wear shoes I guess?

Soxie, I just got a new 'Bostonian'. Listening to music I will stretch my legs and the soles will be exposed. Don't want a hole. Have chosen long socks so as not to expose bare legs. Oh the thing one has to be careful about visiting audio dealers.
Cheers

Bill-
let us know when your Audio trek begins, then, ends.

but it helps to have a mouth, and a big one too (in chinese, we say 'long tongue' but in the u.s., you say 'big mouth')

Think "melting pot". Think long tongues and big mouths working together in perfect harmony.
my time in n.y. is that ethnic pride is turned up way too high
. . . they hadn't heard of Hyphenated-Americans. You were Italian, or Polish, or Irish, or Jewish, or Black, or Greek, or Puerto Rican, or Whatever, and damned proud of it! And you stayed out of each other's neighborhoods after dark.
and they didn't touch my ass.
seriously, the only person to hassle me was some white dude living there and proud of the fact. one black lady wanted a piece of white skin - her vision wasn't too bright - and we joked.

From a real estate web site:
The 20 NYC Neighborhoods with Highest Violent Crime Rates
These neighborhoods have the highest rates of violent crime per capita across New York City:
Vinegar Hill (Brooklyn)
Downtown Brooklyn (Brooklyn)
Theatre District / Times Square (Manhattan)
Meatpacking District (Manhattan)
Koreatown (Manhattan)
Port Morris (Bronx)
Garment District (Manhattan)
Greenwood Heights (Brooklyn)
Hunts Point (Brooklyn)
East New York (Brooklyn)
Ocean Hill (Brooklyn)
Union Square (Manhattan)
Fort Greene (Brooklyn)
Brownsville (Brooklyn)
Bronx River (Bronx)
Navy Hill (Brooklyn)
Mount Eden (Bronx)
Longwood (Bronx)
Mott Haven (Bronx)
Fordham (Bronx)
Brooklyn and the Bronx win hands down. Harlem ain't even on that list.
Don't forget that Harlem was for many decades a cultural Mecca, which drew Black artists and intellectuals from all over the U.S. Great jazz scene ever since the Cotton Club, and after WWII totally eclipsed other cities for modern jazz. To this day, they have the highest number of volunteer community service organizations, parents' clubs, churches, etc. per capita of any neighborhood in NYC.
When I grew up in Flushing, Queens, I went to PS 20 with Black, Jewish, Puerto Rican, Chinese, and many other ethnicities kids. We all got along pretty well -- the tribal divisions didn't really start to kick in until about 8th grade -- but we all lived in dread of the tough little Irish and Italian hoodlums from St. Michael's. They were so oppressed by the nuns all day that as soon as school let out, they were shrugging out of their uniform ties and jackets and looking for public school kids to thump on.
