Erica, 30, Professor, New York.
Erica is my younger sister. While I spent most of my childhood in South Jersey/Philly, Erica spent most of hers in Upstate New York. I was interested to see how different her answers would be (and how similar) based on where we grew up. She still lives up in Syracuse, while I've moved back and forth between NYC, Philly, and Wilmington, North Carolina. Her husband, ironically named Eric, also filled out a form. She submitted one for their Alaskan malamute, Fletcher, which perhaps, I will save for the "PETS" edition of this 'zine. You'll see that we share a love of white pizza, pierogies, and Wawa!
