a: New york ~
b: big country town
What: "I grew up in New York. It was a scary place in the past before we got rid of the gangs and the hoodlums. We used to let just any old jock drive a cab, paint it any color and make up road rules. Now New York is like a big country town, full of happy, smiling people trolling around all hours of the day and night on the very safe streets. So I hear."
