Apr. 7th, 2008 08:59 amHow you know you're a New Yorker:
Any number of bizarre things can show up in your dreams and get accepted without question, but you stop mid-dream-conversation to stare at the place where the train tracks are emerging to go from subway tunnel to elevated railway and think, "Wait a minute, that's not right- we're on 33rd Street, and there's no elevated railway in this part of Manhattan! And how come the signs say it's 33rd and 47th? Those streets don't even come near each other, let alone cross!"
And not only that, but the cognitive dissonance is so great that you promptly wake up.
