WTF!?!
What crawled up this guy's ass and died? This is most insulting portrayal of my hometown I've ever read. How dare he use Lancy in this piece of shit article? How dare he!?!

Blow me, Mark Ames! Eat shit and die you worthless motherfucker!
"Saratoga is a beautiful privileged place, and it makes you feel, if you don't love it and become a part of it, that something is wrong with you. It's a debilitating feeling, a special venom, that paralyzed me within a day of arriving. Because the only place you can go from Saratoga is down."

Obviously a happy man, that.
It always amazes me, having gotten back in touch with a lot of folk from Saratoga in the past year or so: most of us are okay folk. We were nuts in high school, mostly nice, but crazy. Now, we're mostly pretty functional, pretty happy people. I can't believe we've all turned out so well.
