A word of advice.

Don't believe what you see on TV news on in the movies. It's sensationalized and even based on fiction designed to draw viewers and sell ads.

I chuckle to think about the Texan's view of New York and New York City I have heard. To them its a horrible place unfit for human habitation. Lawless and godless people. If NY were to be separated from the US and float out into the Atlantic, they would believe sincerely that it was for the good and that the nation would be better off because of it.

Have they ever been to NY? No. Do they know the difference between NYC and any other place? Nope. Do they know any NY'ers? Nope.

I once told a Texan that Texas and Upstate, NY were actually pretty similar with small towns in counties and agriculture. And that the people were pretty similar both exhibiting a degree of stoicism, and an interest in outdoor sports like fishing and hunting, high school and college sports.

They were incredulous. I had no hope of cutting through layers and layers of TV drama and news reports.
