In the article “City Limits”, Whitehead said that everyone became a New Yorkers when they first land their steps on this states. He wasn’t born here, in fact, his first home was on the uptown No.1 train. Whitehead said no matter how much the environments or the buildings changed, it will still be the same as he first saw it. One part I really like is “never listen to what people tell you about old New York, because if you don’t witness it, it is not a part of your New York and might as well be Jersey.” I totally agree to it. You can never experiences the place just by listening to the descriptions of the others, you have to witness it yourself to truly know what New York looks like. Everyone has different views and opinion about something, what they said about New York could be different from what you thought. What I learn from Whitehead is that, as time flies, our neighborhood changes. The views you see today can changed by tomorrow, the deli or the restaurant you eat in today can be vanished the next time you visit. Enjoy and appreciate everything around because you never know when is the last time you’re going to see them.
