You gotta understand--hailing from the only other part of New York City that wasn’t actually physically a PART of New York City, unless you crossed some body of water or other to get there, was a little….weird. In fact, up until about 1964, you really couldn’t even get there any other way than by boat, because until then, there was no Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for them to cross back and forth. But SI found a way to make its own impressions. At some point, if you really, really wanted to make it, you had to make the jump to Manhattan. But, you could also be stubborn and do it your way and still get somewhere…
