The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[gravitylover]

Yup, it depends on which side of the road you're on. @S_jenks, Plattsburgh is a classic Interstate city, an international trade zone, a college town and an Air Force Base town, primarily though it's an Upstate city at it's core. The lakefront potential is typically underutilized and full of unrealized potential and their access to the North Country outdoors is similarly underexploited.

Plattsburgh is where I was born- even though my family is from (and eventually returned to) the capitol district. The Plattsburgh area has also been the scene of some mayhem recently.

Ausable Chasm is otherwise a cool place to visit.

Sorry about the clickbait aspect but, really, Buffalo is #1 in the country for single women? https://q1057.com/upstate-new-york-t...in-the-nation/

Meanwhile in Buffalo back on St Paddy's day: https://www.newyorkupstate.com/news/...ay-parade.html

The incident occurred while a Buffalo SWAT officer was conducting routine surveillance as part of the parade’s security measures.

A fucking SWAT team?

[gravitylover]

Irresponsible assault rifle users...

now that's a bunch of bs if I ever heard it. a heavy gust of wind wouldn't blow a match barrel rifle off a roof [presumably with a parapet]. at least without the gust taking said sniper with it.

now if the scene of the incident was littered with empty uncle charlies...

... now back to the sad reality that even german engineering can't compete with upstate winters:

5. Cleveland. (Upstate adjacent)
4. Cincinnati (Appalachian adjacent)
3. Pittsburgh (Upstate and Appalachian adjacent)
2. Richmond, VA (Actual southern college town with women)
1. Buffalo (Actually Upstates)

Seriously, who wrote this piece of shit? Tell me you’ve never been to Chicago, Atlanta, New York, LA, Miami without telling me to you’ve never been to Chicago, Atlanta, New York, LA or Miami.

Good job. I mean.. It’s no tarpentry or tarpology but I don’t want to discourage you.

Thank y'all for increasing my tarpcabulary.

Look forward to putting it to use in my Upstate travels this summer.

Don't forget the more 400-level "tarpitecture".

[Core Shot]

Im liking tarpentry

A hack with a blue tarp can make a roofer what a roofer ain’t.

[Brownski]

You see, that’s what I mean. Tarpitecture is next level.

Or tarptastic...

Also very good.

tarptastic has such a good ring to it...

The man is a walking encyclopedia of the Upstates.

We're just here to learn from him.

[m2711c]

This is a collective effort. You give knowledge in order to receive knowledge. The lessons I’ve learned from guyonabuffalo about the ins and outs of furnace replacement has certainly offset any of the negligible effort it took me to spread the knowledge that I gained



fact.

Looks like I'll be back in the upstates end of April if anyone wants Dinosaur or something in da 'Cuse.
Actually, I could use help, I'm looking to rent a nice road bike, can't really find any stores that rent a real bike, either Mt. Or Road. I'll try and hit up some mechanics, but if any of you know anyone. Medium/54cm. Maybe $125 for a few days?

[gravitylover]

Check with Jeremy at Resource.

[RShea]

So not sure if this had anyone participate on April 1. Any rate it would have been a cold and probably wet outing this early in the spring:
