Like why do I feel like I’m supposed to be able to name the seven boroughs? I can’t tell you anything about L.A., Chicago, Boston, etc.
Edit: to clarify: I mean that everyone in America are expected to know NYC. Not just New Yorkers. Obviously everyone should know the layout of where they live.
Lol wut. Literally anywhere you live in the world if you have a casual conversation with someone they generally expect you to have some knowledge of the local geography.
The seven burros – happy, sleepy, grumpy, sneezy, doc. I’m missing a few.
Definitely not in the world lol, I don’t think most Europeans care for or have any idea of the geography of New York
Wait a minute, what?
I’ve been to a few cities all over Europe, lived in a couple of them for years, and I feel like having a general knowledge of the geography of where you live is a basic requirement of life.
Didn’t you play the “capital city game” with friends as a kid?
I mean, it’s cool with me if you or anyone has no idea of the layout of your local map, but that’s a surprise for sure.
My point is that people in the US are kind of expected to understand the layout of a city that they may never have been to or maybe only visited as a tourist.
It’s only the “local map” for like 8 million of us.
