A review of this place: BORN IN BROOKLYN, RAISED IN STATEN ISLAND

MY PARENTS AND I MOVED TO STATEN ISLAND WHEN I WAS JUST ENTERING 2ND GRADE, I AM NOW 27 YEARS OLD SO I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE SO FAR HERE. I WOULDNT SAY THAT ITS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT BY IT IS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE. NO MATTER WERE YOU LIVE IN STATEN ISLAND YOU HAVE ACCESS TO MANHATTAN, BROOKLYN,NEW JERSEY.
IF YOU TAKE THE FERRY OVER FROM MANHATTAN (FREE OF CHARGE) YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION MAY BE A LITLE LESS THEN MAGNIFICENT. TO SEE THE TRUE BEAUTY OF THE ISLAND YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE TRAIN FROM THE FERRY AND GO ABOUT 6 STOPS TO THE SOUTH SHORE OF THE ISLAND. I LOVE STATE4N ISLAND AND I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD. THIS IS MY HOME EVEN IF I MOVE AWAY.

How this place changed my life

I was born in Staten Island and its the only place I could ever call home. I think its great how no matter where you go from Pathmark to Blockbuster your always going to run into someone you know. I also think is great that most people on that island are Italian which makes things alot easier (if some doesnt speak english they speak italian). I love that crazy island.

A tip I have about this place

i lived there for 2 years and it was the worst place i’ve ever lived. horrible traffic, nasty people, and it’s not close enough to the city to warrant actually moving there. just move to brooklyn.

I live here

It smells bad, and there is nothing to do. Staten Island is in a good location it’s not too suburb and not too city. It is wright by the city, so u din’t have to have the hectic city life, but u can still go there when ever u want. Staten Island has some history to it. You can go to Richmond town. Which is a very historic city, to learn about the history of Staten Island. It’s not a good vacation spot, but it’s an ok place to live
