Midpoint

The construction 'Center On' has been denounced as incorrect and illogical since it first appeared in the mid-nineteenth century. Although the phrase is common, it defies geometry by confusing the orbit with the fixed point: i.e. the earth's revolution centers on the sun. A careful writer will use a precise expression, such as 'revolves around, concerns, or involves'.

Perspective

As an American from the Midwest--the middle, the center, the midpoint--a place where hard work prevails, where independence is virtue, pragmatism is modus operandi, and most things are clothed in a self-deprecation born from a lack of identity with either East Coast aristocracy or West Coast free-spiritedness, I cannot help but find intrigue and inspiration in the polarities I find living in New York City.

So here is a record of observations that revolves around a very 'American' fascination in dichotomies easily found in the New York existence.
