In "Here is New York," E. B. White identifies three New Yorks: the city of the people born here; that of the commuter; and--"the greatest"--that of the person born somewhere else who comes here "in quest of something."
I think there is a fourth New York, mine: that of someone who grew up here, moved away, and then--finally!--comes back.
A certain almost 2 yr old doesn't think it's "gulag." She thinks the soups are delicious!
