I ❤️ my home state!

In a meeting I went to when I worked for Parks and Recreation at a local beach, we were told we were to try and be really welcoming to out of towners because NY as a state had a reputation for being unfriendly to outsiders. A sign was shown on a slide show. It was on a New York State Border. It read "Welcome to NY. Now Go Home! "

I am so proud of the NY City population that showed tsf that even though he used to live there, that it is no longer his home, and virtually nobody wants him there. There are a lot of us in other parts of the State who totally agree with them. Tsf should go home to Mucho Lardo, and stay there. Here's a New York goodbye to him. 🖕

I love New York as well. I was born on Southern Avenue in the Bronx many-many years ago; and I know I would be welcome if I returned as long as I displayed by NY birth certificate...
