Hi everyone. My name is Don
I was born in the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital in 1949. Was raised on Franklin Ave and President St. In the Shadow of Ebbets Field. Went to St Teresa of Avilla, then PS 241, Lefferts Jr HS, Erasmus Hall HS.

Now retired from AT&T and living in Weaverville, North Carolina. In the moutains.

I met my wife Susan from Greenpoint when she was born. I was having my tonsils taken out and she was born on the same floor of the BJH.
For many years while my father drove through Brooklyn over the Kos Bridge into Queens. I saw this little girl in her backyard in her swimming pool. Then we finally met eye to eye on her first day at AT&T. A match made in heaven.

[Tharsis]

Greetings all,

Lived here since I was 2, grew up in the Bronx, now living in Queens, heading back to school after a misspent youth.

I'm a pretty regular guy, just trying to make my way in the world, painting to keep me sane, etc. Seeking additional distractions as well, it's too easy to get so wrapped up in your own schedule that before you know it 6 months has passed and you've hardly gone out!

[BrooklynRider]

Greetings to all of you newest members! Hope you'll check out the forums and share your opinions.

You've joined a great online community here at WNY.

I have just read all 16 pages of this thread, and there are many humorous postings. The funniest part was the series of postings that ALBARC had with one scatty English member. The postings began quite normally on 7th May 2006 but after a series of postings and replies, this members last posting on 8th June 2006 was, "Where have all my friends gone"?

You did your best ablarc.

Location: hm - originally from PA, stationed in NC heading towards Iraq.
Age: 20
Gender: F
Misc: I joined the Marine Corps straight out of high school. I work about 60 hours a week and going to uni full time majoring in management/marketing. My plans are to get out in two years to attend NYU for my masters in business (which I originally got into for my bachelors but had no money to attend an out of state college - or in state for that matter) Needless to say, I think joining the military was not one of my wisest choices.

[lofter1]

Welcome aboard Samantha / .pulchritudinous.

Hope you find some interesting info at wny.

Your service is honored here http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif .

Feel free to start a new thread chronicling your journey to Iraq and back.

When do you head overseas?

[.pulchritudinous.]

July 11. It's brutal, all the stuff you have to go through to get over there. Today, we had a seminar of the sorts going through great lengths the history/communities/wildlife/etc of Iraq. Trust me, it was quite a snoozer. Not to mention I had to get my second anthrax shot in front of a hundred or so people. I was pretty nervous since I passed out on the first one and missed the "excruciating" burning sensation you apparently get, but oh how I felt it this time. Only one more shot and then the small pox month of hell. I definitely diminish the "strong" characteristic most Marines get.


I will definitely post about my time over there (8 months). I'll dedicate a thread to it, updating it with pictures and anything interesting. (I will have internet so I can still go to uni).

[NYatKNIGHT]

Hello all, as you can see from my info, my name is Tommie from NC. I hate it here. Actually, hate is a strong word...and since I dont know a stronger one I will leave it at that.

I have never been to NYC, besides virtual tours via the wonderful pictures on WiredNY and the descriptions of the people, sounds, sights, etc. Im planning to take a visit soon with my girlfriend and cant wait to see it all for myself.

Even though I have never been to the big apple, something about it draws me in and now I am officially consumed with wanting to live and start my career there. If I cannot live in NYC, Ill at least be visiting once a year, hence my signing up to wiredny.

I really enjoy looking at the pictures, and reading about whats happening around the city. Anyways, see you folks around the forum.

My hometown isn't all that interesting. I absolutely loathe it. It would, however, be my honor to present you with a fabulous photo tour of Boston shortly after my arrival there.

Although I will be living in Beantown, New York City does await me in the future. Like I said in my member introduction, I want to move to NYC so bad but I just can't afford it right now. I'll be commuting to New York for business frequently (not everyday), though, and will live there eventually. Maybe next year.

That's not to say I don't appreciate Boston. They're the only two US cities I could see myself living in.

[lofter1]

I was in Tampa once.

Other than the old town area I wasn't too crazy about it either. :cool:

Hey Everybody!

I'm Barbara, a Brooklyn Italian, born and raised in the great
borough of Brooklyn. I'm over 40 and if you don't know my
gender by now, then have a nice day!

I'm a web developer, web host, domainer, internet markert, seo/sem. I'm also a builder in SecondLife.com. I got the NYC sim in that virtual world and still building it but not the whole city, just the areas closest to my heart. Here's a clip of my Washington Square Park when Jax Streeter band performed live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DE55R4hPZ0

I lived in sunny Studio City, California for almost 10 years, now back home in Kips Bay in Manhattan. I LOVE Socal but if I got anymore laid back over there, I'd be dead, no offense to you fine Los Angelenos.:p

[Countesss]

A recent transplant to NYC, I am an experienced female voice talent as both a former news announcer for CNN Radio and a voice actress in the US and overseas. I am a veteran of film, radio, television, and theatre, but am now serving as a professional public affairs officer for the 2nd largest federal agency in the U.S. I've lived all over the world to include Thailand, Korea, Hawaii and Germany with travels that span a wide and eclectic gamut of destinations (my current favorite; Amsterdam).

I own Crimson Elite Productions; record/literary producers and promotors for dark artistes around the globe. I also ride (current bike; Honda Shadow Aero - retro cruiser) and am an anachronist; you will rarely find me in mudane 'modern' clothes... Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, Edwardian... any other time period, please!

I have joined this forum because I'd love to chat to some friendly New Yorkers - over the past 2/3 years I've developed a desire to visit NY and would love to learn more about the people and the place, maybe make a few e-pals, and now feels like the right time seeing as me + my parents are hoping to go there next year :D!

I'd especially love to chat to some New Yorkers who are around my age with similar interests.. please get in touch if you'd like to talk, I'd love to hear from you guys :)

[PS I know Orange County is in my name, but that's based on the film, although I did go to California in 2007 and like it there too!]

Welcome to the forum, rhydayrer :)

You have found a very interesting place indeed!
I stumbled upon the site after a google search in '05, and since then I always experience a great exchange of ideas and information here. Although there's an emphasis on New York, we discuss just about everything.

The three friendly posts that you see led to the spam post, which I removed.

"Hello everyone! My English is no to good. I love New York City, and I am new to forum! :D

I love New York City and I love the New Yorker people and I want to one day visit your great city and see sights like Empire State and Liberty Statue. :)

Being new person, I wish everyone good day!"

Then next thing you know, the "friendly person," will link this forum to websites selling cheap phones. I hate it. :mad:

[milleniumcab]

There are a lot of stories about how NY got the nickname Big Apple.

It was popularized in the 1930s by jazz musicians, who referred to a gig in NY as the Big Apple.

In the 1920s, a reporter named John Fitzgerald wrote a horseracing column for the New York Morning Telegraph called "Around the Big Apple." In 1924, FitzGerald wrote that he first heard the term used by stable hands in New Orleans. The goal of horse trainers and jockeys was to race at the NY tracks - the Big Apple.

NY govt now accepts this version as official. The corner of W 54th St & Broadway, FitzGerald's home for 30 years, is called "Big Apple Corner."

Forward this message to your cat, as she seems to be in complete control of your life. I get this question a lot in my profession and I always answered by saying " I don't exactly know but I think because everyone wants to take a bite out of NY"..:)) It is good to find out the real reason. Thanks Zippy.:)))

Hi, I am new to the forum so I thought I would say hi.

Hope to chat with you all soon, I am looking forward to learning more about the greatest city on earth!

[james_smart]

Hello there,

again a new member here. James ! Nice to meet you all.

See you then

[DarkAudit]

Greetings, all! Glad to be here.

Thanks to the kind folks at Uniwatch, I've found my way here. What started as a brief trip to see some new (to me) pics of the pre-renovation Yankee Stadium has turned into a day-into-night poring over of some incredible history and photos throughout the forum. Nice to see the reality behind the "gritty" New York this West Virginia boy only saw on TV or at the movies.

[phil_]

Hi all,

I'm a 26 year old living in Croatia, Europe. Started planning a month long trip to NY and found a link to this site on skyscraperpage forum. A lot to read about, but I'm not complaining. :)

Thanks to everyone who contributes (and answers any future questions that I may have ;) )

Best regards.

[Ninjahedge]

Welcome phil!

I hope you get the info you need, and find your trip here informative/entertaining!

Feel free to go on the international portion (news AND architecture subforums) and put your own bits of life on the site. It is always welcomed!

[hbcat]

I am still relatively new to the WNY forum, so allow me to introduce myself. I am a mid-career academic, born and raised on the Jersey side of the NY metro area, who has spent that past twenty-some years (1983-present) living in Japan, Taiwan, and the UK. I was last in the US for some graduate work in 1995-1996. I currently live and teach in Taiwan.

I am active in human rights issues and have worked as a volunteer for Amnesty International as well as the Message and Tracing unit of the British Red Cross. I don't have any real hobbies to speak of, although I like to go bird-watching with friends and experts who know what they are doing -- time allowing. We have 1.5 dogs (two strays; one has been a "guest" for over a year now) and three cats. I am a NY Yankee fanatic, and have been since Thurman Munson's Rookie of the Year season (1970).

I consider myself a historian, but have come to the field late in my career. My degree specialty is travel literature.

I have never participated in a moderated discussion such as we have here at WNY. I discovered this forum while daydreaming about the possibility of spending some months (or a whole year!) in NY while on research leave (perhaps 2011). If you have any criticism of my posts, please let me know via this thread or PM. I hate internet squabbles, but can take criticism.

[healthleads]

Nice site ;)

I think that next step should be to put as many useful articles as you can in there, to bring more visitors that could later ask for quotes.

[Derek2k3]

Welcome guys.

[andreakassi83]

Hellow, im new guy here,i'm from Indonesia. and hopefully can get some Information here and contribute something
useful to all of you guys.... lol..

nice too meet you all :D

[ablarc]

Send us some pictures of Jakarta.

[ablarc]

I don't have any real hobbies to speak of, although I like to go bird-watching with friends and experts who know what they are doing -- time allowing.
Perhaps Wired New York will become a second hobby.


I consider myself a historian, but have come to the field late in my career. My degree specialty is travel literature.
Didn't know you could get a degree in that. Years ago I edited a guidebook to Europe. Back then, people did things like hitchhike.


I have never participated in a moderated discussion such as we have here at WNY.
Only moderately moderated, thank God.


I hate internet squabbles, but can take criticism.
Yeah.

Well, at least you still have Bury St. Edmunds. Do you commute into London? How long does it take?

[archnyer]

Hello everyone. I write about architecture in NYC around the internet web. Hence the name "ARCHNY".

I'd like to know something more about all of you. Please post a visitor message and say hello.

[jabbex]

Hello all... I'm Jon, been living in Manhattan for the last 13 years now. Some things I love about the city include real estate (architecture, building histories, etc), nightlife (late night on Avenue A), and the fact that it doesn't smell as bad in the winter time.

Part of the year I spend in Shanghai. That's only funny because a few years ago I moved from the East Village to Chinatown. It's like I can't escape it - I'm "The American" whether I'm in China or at home. :)

Besides that, I created a site about the city recently, New York Newb (http://www.newyorknewb.com). It's still in the getting started stage but I wanted to create something I would use for myself all the time. Feel free to check it out.

Anyways, nice to be here. I've been working in real estate management for awhile now so if you have building management questions, don't mind asking.

[juampe]

Hello y'all !!
My name's Juan Pedro and I have been enjoying the forum as a visitor for some time so that I decided to register.
I'm writing from the south east of Spain, from Fuente Alamo, a village close to Cartagena ( between Benidorm & Mojacar ), of course a village with no highrises, maybe that is the reason why I always was attracted to skyscrapers and why ( despite my wife ) I have at home a big pic of Empire under construction.
Congratulations for your beautiful city and its incredible atmosphere.
For many ppl like me it has been ( concerning urban planning & skyscrapers ) like a reason to became a pilgrim on the look out of highrises.

Well, once again congratulations for your beautiful city!

[ablarc]

Welcome, and show us Fuente Alamo.

[Davey]

Hi there! So nice to be here!

I been to NYC in 2007, and it was the best time of my life. It blew my mind!
Also, I'd like to practice and learn some English (or at least, improve it).

See ya!
