Almost from its inception, New York WAS America, the first place many immigrants saw and lived --the haven for the indigent and oppressed. It often was not easy nor pleasant, but New York was always there for the masses--the emerald city, the land of Oz.

I can't get past 20:32. My Dad did a lot business with those displaced in SJH by the Trade Center. Eventually, he gained lucrative contacts with the companies that occupied the Towers. I'm actually glad Dad died 7/23/01- a terrible thing to say. BUT: He had been alive to see the towers fall? It would have killed him in the soul. RIP those lost that day.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

@@JoeMoss83 by that standard any arbitrary event in centuries of contnuous change could be called the "real" New York. There was a beginning, and there is all that follows. The heart of the city has always been and still is its harbor. That *doesn't* come and go. The boroughs don't make the city, it's a stretch to even call them "New York." Giovanni da Verrazano, Peter Stuyvesant, Henry Hudson -- these are the city's founders. All else is comnentary. It has been "built" by many people at many times, but those names are the important ones.
