Well truth be told, even though I was born in NYC (though never lived there), & worked for a NYC headquartered building (traveling to the our Home Office regularly from our NJ supporting complex), I really enjoyed all my Chi-town work related visits, which usually meant being put up at the Executive House hotel. Once, a lounge waitress, befriended a coworker and myself and showed us all over the city until the early morning hours, which was a great time. And hey papa, you can always throw Tammany Hall & Boss Tweed in my face, as they showed the world what government corruptions was all about. Where did you think "Five Points NYC" Al Capone learned his trade before taking it to Chicago.Hey now .... don't go to dising my less than favorite city in my home state.
