Map snipped for bandwidth.
I am a New Yorker, born and bred, and can honestly say that map is 100% accurate. :laugh:

I can just imagine it eventually cmoing out that he's from money, and lives like he does to keep his writing "authentic." This would likely not bode well for his relationship with Penelope, who is likely to be rather pissed off at someone "slumming," while she has to work hard to make a living on a barista's salary.

Did I miss something or are you confusing Angus with Wil? Or am I confusing the subject? Or are cucumbers actually pink? ... I gotta get home...
Wow... New York really is the center of the world to New Yorker's, huh?

Angus could have a five or six digit trust fund squirrelled away somewhere.

Or have a trust fund or inheritance that he can't access until he reaches a certain age, or meets some other criteria.

Wil went to something called Williston Academy as a kid, which sounds like a private school. It doesn't automatically mean he comes from a priviledged background, as people who aren't rich send kids to such schools because they think it wll be better academically or what have you. But he does kind of come across as someone who might have come from a pampered background without much experience in the real world. Thinking about it it's not hard to imagine Wil talking with the sort of upper crust Boston accent Charles Emerson Winchester had on MASH, and coming from that kind of upper class background.
