Guys, is that New York/Boston stuff we hear about really a thing? California wants to know.

We pretend we hate each other, but it's a sibling rivalry.

That's a good description. I'll bust a New Yorkers chops all day long, but ain't nobody from the west coast allowed to talk shit about my east coast family. ...well okay, they can talk shit about Jacksonville. Haha

It’s definitely a real thing. It feels really awkward to root for anything in NY, even Mamdani. 🙃 We back each other when it counts.

Haha no I know! No shade at you. And California is a great place, lived in Monterey for awhile. Just saying our rivalry is real and runs deep, but doesn't keep us from standing up for the other.

Ask your favorite Giants/Dodgers fans about team rivalry. And despite being closer than SF and LA, NY and Boston are in different states. So yeah, it's a thing.

Let me say this, I live in Western MA and my relatives in the Boston area call it East NY as a wisecrack

Maybe they're not wrong! I know a number of New Yorkers who like to hang out in the Berkshires, in some cases buying vacation homes.

😆🤣 with the SF/LA thing it goes beyond sports. Except when we have to fight the common enemy, then a truce takes precedence.

About how they're both terrified of Philly? Yeah, that's a thing (I kid because I love).

Scared of Philly? I’m thinking horrified is more apt 😂

I know a Dee configuration when I see one. We had the first free library in the world in Philadelphia.

Not so fast my friend in PA. It was a subscription library first. Not free until after BPL opened. (Love Philly, feels like Boston) www.allpurposeguru.com/2023/08/what...
