Hucksleberries: You ♥ NY but does NY ♥ you?
My Sunday Huckleberries print column begins:
Remember that line in the old Louie Armstrong song that goes: “…When you’re smilin’ the whole world smiles with you?” Well, that might be so in Idaho. But Facebook Friend Emily Walton discovered it ain’t necessarily so in New York City. On Tuesday, while visiting New York, Emily accidentally pulled “an Idaho” – her term, not Huckleberries’. She smiled at a New Yorker while crossing a street. She explained to Facebook Friends, “You can take the girl out of Idaho but you can’t take the Idaho out of the girl!” Emily told Huckleberries later that the young, female recipient of her smile scowled back. You may love New York. But the feeling may not be mutual. More here.
Question: Do you find New Yorkers to be friendly/unfriendly?
