I'm assuming you mean NYC\n\nHow big is Central Park?\n\n    843 acres or 6% of Manhattan's total acreage, including:\n       150 acres in 7 waterbodies\n       250 acres of lawns\n       136 acres of woodlands \n\nEven more info at link below:

Ok, I am from Syracuse, NY  \n\nI can probably help. But I need more info. What kind of information do you want? Also which part of New york do you want the info on?\n\nNew York is so diverse that it is hard to guess what exactly you are looking for. There is the border that is shared with the wonderful country of Canada.  It stretches from Niagara Falls, a favorite of hopneymooners the world around,  through the St. Lawrence Seaway, to the Adirondack Mountains in the east, just above the NY State capoital of Albany.\n\nThen there is the section in the west that borders both Ohio and Pennsyvania in the west, through Syracuse, The Home of the Orangemen, Carrier Dome, and the world renown Syracuse University, producer of some of the finest Physicans in the world. It spawls across the state through  Ithaca, the home of Cornell University, another Ivy League institution of High Learning. It go across the beautiful farmlands of Cortland County, Delaware County (which boasts the very best trout fishing in the world) down throught the mountain range in the south, the Catskill Mountains.\n\nOf course you also have New York City and the five bouroughs to the furtherest south, which is arguably the absolute greatest city on the face of the earth. There is hardly a thing in the world that you can think of, that you can't find in New York City. There is also probably someone there to represent every country in the world. It is probably the most deversified city in the world.\n\nSo you see, without a bit more info on what you want to know, I would not know where to begin to tell you about New York.\n\nNote to FantasyAngel20;\n\nCentral Square is actually a village roughly 350 - 400 miles north of New York City. Also Albany is IN New York State.  It is the Capital.

Traditionally, timber has been at the top of the list. But there is a also a large fishing industry, huge agricultural industry and the absolute beauty of the state is argueably the biggest natural resource we have.

Hey! Can I do your homework for you?? Cause you could have searched it on your own...\n\nNatural resources are naturally occurring substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A commodity is generally considered a natural resource when the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification, as opposed to creation. Thus, mining, petroleum extraction, fishing, and forestry are generally considered natural-resource industries, while agriculture is not. The term was introduced to a broad audience by E.F. Schumacher in his 1970s book Small Is Beautiful.\n\nNatural resources are often classified into renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources are generally living resources (fish, coffee, and forests, for example), which can restock (renew) themselves at approximately the rate at which they are extracted, if they are not overharvested. Non-living renewable natural resources include soil, as well as water, wind, tides and solar radiation — compare with renewable energy.\n\nMineral resources are generally non-renewable and, once a site's non-renewable resource is exhausted, it is considered to be useless for future extraction, barring technological improvements that allow economic extraction from the tailings. Technological improvements may also allow future extraction of metals at lower concentrations than at previous times, which converts low-grade resources into ore, and may re-open or expand mines.\n\nBoth extraction of the basic resource and refining it into a purer, directly usable form, (e.g., metals, refined oils) are generally considered natural-resource activities, even though the latter may not necessarily occur near the former.\nRainforest on Fatu-Hiva, Marquesas Islands\nEnlarge\nRainforest on Fatu-Hiva, Marquesas Islands\n\nNatural resources are natural capital converted to commodity inputs to infrastructural capital processes. They include soil, timber, oil, minerals, and other goods taken more or less as they are from the Earth.\n\nA nation's natural resources often determine its wealth and status in the world economic system, by determining its political nfluence. Developed nations are those which are less dependent on natural resources for wealth, due to their greater reliance on infrastructural capital for production. However, some see a resource curse whereby easily obtainable natural resources could actually the prospects of a national economy by fostering political corruption.\n\nIn recent years, the depletion of natural capital and attempts to move to sustainable development have been a major focus of development agencies. This is of particular concern in rainforest regions, which hold most of the Earth's natural biodiversity - irreplaceable genetic natural capital. Conservation of natural resources is the major focus of Natural Capitalism, environmentalism, the ecology movement, and Green Parties. Some view this depletion as a major source of social unrest and conflicts in developing nations.

I used to live in New York....not the city, the state...central new york...syracuse..great place. Well if you're talking about the city it's because there are a lot of shops and you can try out for all sorts of movies and plays and become a model, try to persue a singing career, you name it, new york city has got it. Although it's expensive, almost everyone likes it better because a lot of us are attracted to expensive things because they are the best.

Pros:\nGreat jobs in all fields are available and access to more free events and programs than anywhere else.\nYou'll have culture, fashion, history, and the future all in your backyard.\nThere are no clubs anywhere that can compare to New York. Same goes for restaurants.\nYou'll develop the same smug sense of self satisfaction that all Manhattanites have and are entitled to.\nYou don't need a car.\nYou'll find ways to get things cheap.\nThe crime rate is better there than in any other big city in the US...it's true!\nEverything you do will seem very very important.\n\n\n\nOne con, and one con only:\nIt is very expensive!

I went to NY last year, and I know that Dustin Hoffman, Yoko Ono, Harry Belafonte, Mariah Carey, Robert DeNiro, Billy Joel, Spike Lee, Madonna, Mike Myers, Al Pacino and Vanessa Williams live there at least part time =D  There are a lot more, I just cant remember.  Most of them live around the perimeter of Central Park, cause they are the most expensive buildings.  The only person I saw in person was the girl from Smallville, Lana Lang.

Economy\n \nDowntown Brooklyn is the third largest business district in New York City.Brooklyn's job market is driven by three main factors: the performance of the national/city economy, population flows, and the borough's position as a convenient back office for New York's businesses.[5]\n\nForty-four percent of Brooklyn's employed population, or 410,000 people, work in the borough; more than half of the borough's residents work outside its boundaries. As a result, economic conditions in Manhattan are important to the borough's jobseekers. Strong international immigration to Brooklyn generates jobs in services, retailing and construction.[6]\n\nIn recent years Brooklyn has benefited from a steady influx of financial back office operations from Manhattan, the rapid growth of a high-tech/entertainment economy in DUMBO, and strong growth in support services such as accounting, personal supply agencies and computer services firms.[7]\n\nJobs in the borough have traditionally been concentrated in manufacturing, but since 1975, Brooklyn has shifted from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy. In 2004, 215,000 Brooklyn residents worked in the services sector, while 27,500 worked in manufacturing. Although manufacturing has declined, a substantial base has remained in apparel and niche manufacturing concerns such as furniture, fabricated metals, and food products.[8] The pharmaceutical company Pfizer has a manufacturing plant in Brooklyn that employs 990 workers.\n\nConstruction and services are the fastest growing sectors.[9] Most employers in Brooklyn are small businesses. In 2000, 91% of the approximately 38,704 business establishments in Brooklyn had fewer than 20 employees.[10]\n\nThe unemployment rate in Brooklyn in March 2006 was 5.9%.
