That they are but they did not ban them for life? I think Sterling is an idiot but he had that conversation in private not on Twitter or at a game. I just think what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

As a Minnesotan I can say that I love it here for a lot of the same reasons as Sandy. The people are almost always a lot friendlier than other places I've lived. Even when I lived in Minneapolis it was "nicer" than when I lived in Madison, WI. I currently live in this regions "big city" lol. I think there are around 220,000 people in Fargo-Moorhead community, but we are surrounded by very small communities and the middle of nowhere isn't too far in almost any direction. :)

I love that there is plenty here to do yet I am very close to the wilderness. Lakes, rivers, forests, and prairies all of which provide state parks, hiking, biking, exploring, the spotting of wildlife, and more. My definition of a good time involves being outdoors and it's a bonus if it happens to be in the woods in a tent.

Well in defense of the NBA of late, Matt Barnes was fined $25k for using the N word on twitter and Kobe Bryant was fined $250k for saying a gay slur in a game. The NFL has suspended players for off the field activities as well. They have a long way to go, but they are at least making progress.

The Waldorf is in a great location but, yes, the price of food (ANY food... ever see grocery store prices?) is unbelievable.  Just today I paid 17.00 for a corned beef reuben with fries from a regular diner.

I love me some NYC!  I "lived there" for several months while working on a big project for my company.  I put "lived there" in quotes because I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria!  It was great fun except we couldn't afford to actually eat there except at the Starbucks in the lobby.

Oh yeah, gotta have internet!  I could live deep in the woods alone if only I had internet and deliveries from Amazon.

I am glad you love where you are... it makes life all that much better!!

I am extremely proud of my neighborhood.  I live one block west of the World Trade Center.  The devastation here was unbelievable and these people came back with their brooms, mops, and vacuum cleaners and reclaimed their homes.  They refused to let ANYONE tell them where they were or weren't going to live.  Same thing with the shop owners.  Once again, we live in the shadows of towers built to represent to the world that we would rather die on our feet then live on our knees.
