What is NYC?
"夫君子之行：靜以修身，儉以養德；非淡泊無以明志，非寧靜無以致遠。" - 諸葛亮
One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang

NYC = New York City = The Big Apple = The Empire State
(named after the Empire State Building).
Why is it call the Big Apple? Cause everyone wants a slice. NYC is a city of 7 ~ 8 million people. During the day, the population swells to 12 million because folks from the surrounding states flood in.

Welcome to the CHF, Travis... I've visited your forum as a guest before, when I saw the adress at Era of War I think, but I didn't think of joining... too busy with other forums right now I guess... anyways, some of the links are hard to see with the skin/background that you are using, but other than that it looks like a nice forum.
