Reply to comment by RL_Mutt in charm city by Lemongirl65

As a former NYer who just spent the week in Brooklyn, this feels very untrue. Everyone in NY tries hard to stand out. No one in Baltimore tries at anything. I see very little eccentricity in this coty beyond the odd schizos

That's the whole point of his quote. NYer's feel they have to show their weirdness. Bmoreans just are weird with no pretense.

Right, they don’t try they just are; so they don’t have to try.

Brooklynites have to try because they aren’t.

Brooklyn is a very small sample of life in the city. I think maybe people try a little harder over in Curtis Bay.
