12731695, Why is Manhattan (NYC) so dead now?
Posted by Tony Sparks, Thu Feb-19-15 02:48 PM
Hanging out in downtown NYC last few days, it felt like the neighborhoods were dead compared to times I've hung out in the past there.

Who or what killed Manhattan?
12731701, The rats run Manhattan now. No joke.

and Aye, is there a reason it's pronounced how-stin and not hue-stin
12731756, same reason it's Kwin-zee and not Kwin-see Massachusetts
Posted by John Forte, Thu Feb-19-15 03:17 PM
The man who it was named for pronounced it that way

"The street's name is pronounced "HOUSE-ton", unlike that of the city of Houston in Texas, which is pronounced "HUGH's-ton". This is because the street was named for William Houstoun, whereas the city was named for Sam Houston."

i have no choice but to know how to fight
standing my ground would be oddly appealing if not for the connotations
