: : : (Maureen Dowd, New York Times
: : : and by saying Midtown New York - is it referred to Manhattan?
: : : My very thanks to you all

: : Manhattan is an island and comprises one fifth of New York City. It is a boro, with the other boros being Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx.
: : People refer to certain areas of Manhattan as being "downtown", "uptown" and "mid-town".
: : The streets in Manhattan run east and west and are numbererd sequentially from north to south.
: : So 10th Street is "downtown" while 110th Street is "uptown" and anywhere from the high thirties to the high fifties is called "midtown".
: : The World Trade Center was located on the island of Manhattan and was way downtown in what is known as the "financial district".
: Maybe someone else knows us-me.
: I would just be guessing.
I'm not familiar with "us-me," just the "me generation." I am away from my library right now. But I did a search about this chart at members.aol.com/ ENE2020/generations.htm
