Let's compare Green Bay to the Big Apple, shall we?

New York? 44 - from top-ranked Citigroup to Liz Claiborne, 440th on the list.
Green Bay? Just one - WPS Resources.
Main product:
New York? Loads and loads, though finance and entertainment might be most prominent.
Green Bay? Paper that New York might use for ticket tape parades.
Closing time at the bars:
New York? 4:00 a.m.
Green Bay? 2:00 a.m.
Famous musicians:
New York? this story would go too long if we tried to list them all, but think everything from Frank Sinatra to Bruce Springsteen.
Green Bay? Timbuk 3, famous for "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades"
But the most important category this weekend - NFL Championships:
New York? 6 for the Giants and add a seventh if you include the Jets in Super Bowl III.
Green Bay? 12.
