Just the term New Yorker is offensive. Where else in this country do people define themselves by the city in which they live in? You don't see anyone claiming to be a Los Angler or a Chicagoer.

 

Angelino, Chicagoan, Washingtonian, Bostonian, etc etc.  Seriously dude.

Yea I deleted my post before u wrote that and put it in banter.

Anyway I really wish I could experience some of the stuff Famartin is talking about before I get too old. That and storm chasing in the plains. Just looking at the structure of a supercell up close would be so awesome

The wind has made the last two days pretty meh..and both mornings where rather chilly. Can't wait for the 80's again.

I myself prefer city life over country. I like being in walking distance of most places and you can't beat the night life. Not saying Edison is like NYC, but I have lived in Hoboken etc and I prefer that lifestyle.

I'm with Pazzo on this one, lots of people take pride in their city. NYC isn't alone, though perhaps they make the biggest deal out of it.

I just don't get it. Maybe it's just me. I've always found the term to be arrogant. You're no better than me just because you live in Manhattan sort of thing. FWIW I enjoy visiting the city, like the food tour I did last weekend.

A massive brush fire is burning acres of land between Grand Central and Northern Boulevards in Berkeley, evacuating homes and sending families to shelter.

Homes and other buildings from Northern to Maryland streets have been evacuated. Officers are in place to advise and assist fire-weary residents who can't get back to their homes.

Toms River Intermediate South dismissed its students early, and the children have been sent to the Pine Belt Arena. Berkeley schools announced that they will not be busing children home immediately because of the fire.

State Police are forbidding people from getting anywhere near the fire, telling people: "The wind can switch at any minute."

"Public safety is our first priority," a state trooper told a reporter.

Massive plumes of smoke filled the air Thursday afternoon while sirens blared. An unidentified woman running down Northern Boulevard, with a cell phone in her ear, yelled at a crowd: "Who's house is on fire?"

Central Regional is holding students who live on Grand Central, Western and Northern boulevards at the high school and middle school while the massive brush rages, according to a robocall from the school district.

The fire is in the Pinewald section of Berkeley Township, an area heavily forested with scrub pines and oaks and prone to fires.

Northern Boulevard residents Robert and Joan Martinez stood in the street outside their home and listened to helicopters thundering overhead, making sweeps over the smoke.

The couple said despite the order to evacuate, they are staying put. They went through this before in 2002. Robert has five hoses and spigots which he said he can use.

"I've got my hoses," he said. "I'll put them on my roof. We are not leaving this house. They just told me I have to evacuate. I told them we cannot evacuate

This field is 1/2 mile away from my brothers house, nasty. Fortunately winds were blowing it away from him

Storm chasing in the Plains last year was probably two of the best weeks of my life.
