I hope this turns into something.
On a side note, my brother, I and our boys were in Coopertowns for a little league tournament in 2001. Afterwards we drove to NYC, saw all the sites, etc. This was Aug.29th, and I have pictures of the towers with that date. Anyway, NCY is not the greatest city in the world. It's noisy, busy, smells and is very expensive. It however may be the most diverse. We sat outside at a McDonalds for about 45 mins and people watched. I saw every nationality and heard every possible language during that time. It was like being at a people zoo. It was interesting. Haven't been back, never will, once is enough.
