You live in Maryland. I live in New York.
HUGE difference. And by the way, DC has to be one of the more highly educated cities in all of America. New York? Not so much.
and i have friends that lived/live in new york.
but haha i get the education part.
i understand you aren't a yankees fan anymore, but imo, i just don't think it'd be such an awful thing if you truly like the team...which there are a lot of people that do.
