Possibly the densest concentration of caucasian ne'er-do-wells west of the Mississippi.

If there is, it is so sparse and well-hidden I have yet to see it.

I couldn't agree more. Laughable is a great word.

Well, Staten Island's a borough of New York, of course.

After all, you can't describe Spokane as having a nice beach and lake, just because Coeur d'Alene is only a half-four drive away....

Well, you can. But that wouldn't be very accurate.

Jersey's got plenty of problems. Being a garbage dump like Staten Island is not one of them.

Well, I have been around quite a bit, so the shock of whatever trashiness Spokompton has will be mild at best.

I actually also lived in NYC for almost a year when Dinkins was mayor, oh......that place was a fricken zoo......dangerous and dirty. Times Square was truly a wild and insane place.

Dinkins was a hole in the air.
