The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Brownski]

The view from tonight's dinner table.

[Brownski]

Looks like a nice spot, GL. Any of these guys in the canal?

[gravitylover]

It is but the service SUCKS. The Custom House in Brockport has a fantastic bourbon selection, a decent food menu but the worst service ever. This is the second time we've taken over 90 minutes to get food on the table. The only reason we go is there are only 2 places in town we can go with our dogs. Good thing I love Bourbon

We had a room for Friday but not Saturday this time so I figured, whatever we can get one within a half hour drive... Nope. We found a few in Rochester but even I wouldn't stay in some of those places on a bad day. There's some real shitty places there. We ended up in Batavia after driving and calling around for 2 1/2 hours and paid through the fuckn nose just to have a relatively clean place for a night. That sucked.

Sorry to say it but slow service is Upstate AF too.

[gravitylover]

Yeah but 90+ minutes is extra shitty. This time they had a reasonable excuse though. Apparently one of the two cooks walked out about 15 minutes after we ordered so chaos followed. Last time they had a pretty good reason too... Did I say they have a great Bourbon selection It's alright, we'll go again. Actually we found a third a few minutes out of town, 5 Brothers brewery/winery but the owners dog has the run of the place and our old dog doesn't do well with that anymore, she's developing some weird phobias as she ages.

I have another category to add to The Upstate Resources travel blog, pick 'n pull yards. I keep coming across cool old yards, some are still going businesses and some used to be but will let you scrounge if you ask.

A lot of people getting fit, and cold, at the same time.

Yes. It was a beautiful morning in the Upstate.

[BmillsSkier]

Wow that is gorgeous.

I’d like to be on that ski boat in those conditions.

[Timberridge]

It was a slow morning at the House of Frankenstein though.

[BmillsSkier]

Interesting shade of blue on that building to the right.

[Timberridge]

Tarp inspired.

[BmillsSkier]

Wonder if that's a design technique they picked up at Pratt?

[Timberridge]

All I know is that in Greenland it would be a fish factory.

The key to the color palette of Greenland houses:
Red: Churches and stores, including the houses where the priest or shop owner lived. The most commonly used color.
Yellow: Hospitals, including the houses where the doctors or nurses lived.
Green: Radio communications, or later, telecommunications buildings in general.
Black: Police.
Blue: Factories, fish plants.

My Grandmother went to Pratt. I don't recall any discussion of blue tarps. Maybe before her time. And she wasn't into design. She was an artist and sketched song birds. Until arthritis put an end to that in her 30's. Which was literally also the late 1930's.

[BmillsSkier]

I'm not sure the technology was cheap enough to turn tarps blue back in the 1930s. Indigo was a pretty expensive dye from what the history books told me.

I did the 1/2 iron on Saturday. None of that wussy sprint or Olympic distance stuff. LOL
And yes it was a gorgeous day.

Back visiting mom in Columbia county so I'd say I'm upstate. Bit north of upstate actually but who's counting. Fucking jungle back here after being in Montana for a couple years.

Easy now, don't want to rile up the Western NY crew with this talk of regions not being part of upstate.

Congrats!
Btw, on the sprint there was a guy who was swimming the loop with a paraplegic guy on his back. The para guy was not much smaller than the swimmer. Amazing.

Amazing. I would do the same for my kid if that were the case.
