You're a Long Way from Missouri, Kid

Apparently some gang members attacked a couple of guys in the lobby of their E. 26th Street apartment building yesterday, stabbing an 18-year-old to death and severely wounding another man. They were casualties of some sort of feud it seems. Having just spent my first week living in Manhattan, the words of another NYC newcomer really hit home:
"I moved here from Missouri yesterday," said Hannah Robbins, 21, who lives a block away [from the stabbings site]. "I didn't expect to step outside on my first morning here and see someone almost dead."
