I am a writer on the verge of everywhere...bringing my VICISSITUDINOUS characters to life (ever-changing characters)

I grew up in New York City until the age of 13 when our family moved to Western NY, which is the oppposite side of NY State (8 hour drive). We moved to a small town, Wilson, very quaint. In NY City we didn't know the name of our next door neighbor, so I was shocked when my father and I went to the grocery store in Wilson after living there a week, the people in the grocery store said, "Hello, Mr. Viccari." That freaked me out! I hid behind my father and said, "Why did we move here?"

I eventually adjusted and changed my accent to the Western NY way very quickly, due to kids in school mocking my New York City accent! ......

For example: In New York City (New Yawk City) they say, You wanna go to NI-AG-RA FAULS?

In Buffalo they say: You wanna go to NI-AG-RA-FALS?

NYCITY: Why can't you just pak the car (k-short a) as in ka.

Buffalo: Just park the kar rig
