In this passage of “City limits” by Colson Whitehead, he states that he was born in NYC and that it is the greatest city of all and that he in ruined to like any other place. You can clearly see his love and pride he haves for NYC by saying he cant love other place that is isn’t New York.

Colson says how anyone can love New  York and that the person can create their own New York when they first see it. Colson talks about how his NYC from when he first saw it, now theirs new buildings that people see. But what he sees are the same old buildings that were there before. that’s why he says to not believe anything that anyone tells you! its just hokum. To just believe the events or anything when you are present at the time not other people in their time because that’s not your New York.

Its all true what Colson is saying every and each one us have our own New York, NYC is changing everyday in every way, buts its only up to us how we want to see these changes. For example in the future like in 10 years people are going to see the Freedom Tower, but everyone of that was here before the tragedy we are all going to see the Twin Towers and not the Freedom Tower. Everyone has their own NYC and  I love my New York, and like Colson said I am ruined fir any other place because New York is the only place for me.
