The exception to that is the Bronx, which sees Manhattan as simply "downtown" (even uptown Manhattan!)This probably stems from the Bronx becoming like an extension of Manhattan; both in the street numbering system, and in the fact that the trains going towards Manhattan are all "downtown" bound. Also, the other boroughs can all look across the water and see the "city" skyline (either midtown or downtown, depending on which borough), so that is "the city" to them, while the Bronx is too far uptown to have that same kind of view; again being more like a northward extension of that "city" instead. |
