[QUOTE="waltham41, post: 897878, member: 2318"] I have been to NYC one time in my life, a little over 20 years ago. We got to see the real city as we were there delivering furniture. Middle of Queens. Not what the tourists see such as times square and the statue of liberty and all that. The sides of the highway were covered in trash and body parts from cars that had been torn off in collisions. Bumpers, fenders etc. We were hit by a local delivery truck that tore the drivers mirror off of our semi, and the guy just kept going. We were stuck in our lane of traffic which was not moving and could not do anything about it. We did get his plate number and called the cops, they refused to do anything about it. Said if they took reports on every fender bender that is all they would do all day. People were unfriendly as a rule, and all of the businesses had tall fences and razor wire around the top of the fences. And steel gates that pulled down around the front of the storefronts and were locked at night. Saw lots of dobermans in the locked up areas. The people were not home the first time we tried to deliver, and we were told to go at least 20 miles out of town to spend the night by a local truck driver. He said otherwise they would empty our trailer overnight. With us in the truck. So we made another trip in the next day, and thank god the people were home and we waisted no time getting the hell out of there. I hope the place has changed for the better, I truly do. [/QUOTE]
