New Blog and City Words

The Drexel Publishing Group has a new blog in which students will be contributing. Prof Stein has the details.

Today’s post from Jen Fromal is interesting. She talks about Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love, and the idea that every city has a word that defines it.

Rome’s word is “sex” and Naples’ word is “fight.” Gilbert’s Swedish friend says that Stockholm’s word is “conform,” and Gilbert concludes that New York City’s word is “achieve” (as opposed to Los Angeles’ word of “succeed.”)

What do you think of this? I wonder if Washington D.C.’s word is “control.”
