Growing up in southern Mississippi (a state that doesn't have even one proper city), I was aware of 2 American cities: Los Angeles and New York. Nothing else was in the same league. And in my mind, New York was where the action was - I was thrilled when I went away to high school and discovered that the library of the university that housed my school subscribed to The Village Voice. Every week, when I was supposed to be doing my homework, I would go to the library (one of 3 allowable locations during homework time) and read the Voice. I've never made it to New York yet (either to visit or to live), but I'd love to someday.
