Made in Brooklyn

- Gregory Coston

Brooklyn: Here is my response to Voicer Tom Masselli: We take pride in where we are from. You’re from upstate New York so there is a big difference. We live by the oath: “If you weren’t born here and raised here, then you are not from here.” We do more in a day in the city than you do in a week and are proud of it. We are the city that never sleeps. All of the places you relocated to don’t even compare to us. We feel the same way about upstate residents that you might feel about us. We can take you or leave you. But we’re never going to complain about it. Real New Yorkers adapt to their surroundin­gs and keep it moving. So the next time someone asks you where you are from, tell them you’re from upstate New York and whatever back road town you’re from. Keep New York City out of your mouth.
