Are they counting the incomes of the student's parents to get to the prosperous category?

...something doesn't compute

you never seen so many hippies in your life, it's like a dead show meets the rainbow family
everyone is driving around beater piruses volvo wagons subarus and toyotas
most everyone has trust funds but doesn't show it off like they do in colorado
everyone is working on their phd in some sort of obscure field

Professors and college administrators make a shitload of money, and it really goes far upstate. Look at prices of RE around Ithica on Zillow.

Cause for years I spent just about 3 days of every week during ski season 10 miles up the road from there. It’s very dear to my heart.

Wait, there's a Western New York too? I thought it was just NYC area (whatever the fuck that entails) and Upstate.

If you want to get all technical, there is Wrong Island, New York Shitty, Upstate and once you cross north of I90, you're in north bumblefuck.

That's right! There's nothing interesting between Cortland and Geneseo. Just trailer parks and meth labs. Bumblefuck US.

Geneseo. Playboy voted one of the top 10 schools to get laid at once. I think a lot of Rochester girls went there.

I went to Rochester for grad school. It was the opposite ratio for me.

Magic Hat Brewing is moving from Burlington, VT to Rochester, NY.

While it adds nothing to the geography lesson, it is sort of interesting.

**Timberridge** · 06-23-2020, 07:38 AM

Probably for the Genesee River water?

that is really odd news. magic hat doesn’t get much love for their fruity beers, especially since they sold out, but i always found it a convenient place to stop in and even if the brews weren’t ‘Alchemist/Lawsons/HF’ quality there would be something.

Is burlington getting another climbing gym?
