NYC brehs...let's talk about Staten Island.

[3rdLetter]

lived in Ny most of my life, been to S.I. 3 times. All 3 times was just driving through the island to get somewhere else.

i've lived in ny for all 32 years of my life, nyc for the past 10. i've only driven thru SI once (never even stopped) getting from NJ to LI.

Other than driving through to get to Jersey I can probably count on one hand how many times I've done anything in Staten Island. I used to go to Newark Airport time to time for work and one day traffic was really bad on the Staten Island Expressway so I got off and just drove around some. It reminded me of a mix of Queens and Nassau County. It was really suburban but had elements of NYC. Probably a nice place to raise a family with young kids but boring and out of the way of the rest of civilization.

TS, take this as a sign. This isn't even unusual among native New Yorkers.

I've touched down in every other borough, LI, Yonkers, etc.

Staten Island

The only times I went to Staten Island was to play ball... They had this spot near the pier called Cromwell; place had like 16 full courts. We would go out there just about every Friday. Other than that the only other time I went there was because idiots towed my car there from Brooklyn because of some bootleg parking tickets. I went downtown to see what was up, gave em their dough, then was like "where's my car " Them nikkas told me "Staten Island... ", and I was like Took me like the rest of the afternoon to get there and then to get back home to Brooklyn... Crap like that is what started making me want to leave.

Pos rep, you always have stories breh. Lol.

THere are a lot of functional retards who rode the ferry into and out of SI

They're called guidos and they can't help it.

Okay I am telling my family I am against this.

 

[unit321]

I have family that might have to move from Canada in the next calendar. West Brighton to be exact. What's Staten Island like... or should they just go to one of the other 4 boroughs?


Thanks in advance!

Have to move??? What did they do? Why Staten Island? If they have to move, why to NYC? Why not Buffalo or Albany?

I went to staten island once to take my road test, apparently it's the easiest one in NY. Also they have the biggest Liberian population in the US
