Yes, exactly true. NYers (and I am talking about the greater NYC area more so than up-state), that is exactly what happens. In grocery stores and everywhere (at least back in my day). People talk to each other. Here in L.A. that is rare and people would rather talk into their devices than to each other. Just my perspective. Also, we have an opinion and we discuss (more aggressively than some may be comfortable with). We use more colorful language (not meaning curse words) to make a point and/or make sure the other person is listening. We are usually not boring or bored. We make our own party. People come, if only to see the the circus LOL - El
