“City Limits” is a post from The Colossus of New York written by Colson Whitehead, the entire article is about their experience living in New York City. The entire article has a very conversational tone, like the author is talking to a friend rather than millions of people on the internet. Whitehead goes into detail about his initial thoughts of New York City, he remembers looking out the subway window as the train left the tunnel and thought that everything is filthy and he still calls a building he saw the Pan Am building simply because that is what he grew up with. New York City is a city that never stays the same after a day, there is always some old building being torn down for a new coffee shop or some random new open space that appears out of nowhere. This article is talking about the differences between tourists in New York and natives of New York. Tourists always come to New York City for the many different fun things to do and fantastic places to see, however, to a native of new york some new shopping center used to be an old park or the old and dirty sidewalk you used to walk down is now new and sparkly. In New York City there are a lot of nameless cities in new york city, filled with people who have different versions of what their new york city is like. However, it doesnt change the fact that one way or another new york city people are all neighbors. I think that is the point that Colson Whitehead is trying to make at the end of his article, despite the many, many differences there are in the city everyone is still close to each other one way or another.
