Let's Hear It For Peekskill!

Folks in Peekskill, NY, are upset because Saturday Night Live recently mentioned their town in a disparaging way:

George Ondek, a 20-year Peekskill resident, said he was "very hurt" by the skit.

"I take very big offense" at what was said on the show, said Ondek, 68. "They should apologize to the people of Peekskill. After all, it is a very historic city."

And I must agree with the folks in Peekskill. Every hometown is home, and that makes it great!

Plus, remember, I'm from New Mexico. I'm totally, totally vulnerable on this score.

As an example, here is a NM picture from the LA Times. 'Nuff said.:
