Harvey44 gets the credit. I just write something once in a while.

No doubt Brownski is a primary source of Upstate cred for NYSB.

This was originally ex-powbroker's brainchild, it has been handed down since he moved north of the border.

I'm gonna have to give this guy his 21 minutes at some point to give my final opinion, but I note two things right off the bat:

One, he has a copy of Rick James' Street Songs album behind him in the video, for no discernable reason other than to see if the viewer is paying attention.

Two, he laid out his line right at the start at 1:09 in (pictured below). I assume he spends the next 20 minutes trying to convince the viewer that this is correct.

We are curating opinions here.

What's with the purple parts of upstate above the Bronx?

So Sullivan, Ulster and Dutchess counties aren’t upstate? Outrageous! Who is this clown?

Doesn’t even address the border controversy, just includes all those cows along the route 17 corridor in downstate.

Highlights:







And, he keeps mentioning, Apparently the upstate economy leaves something to be desired. And Ithaca is snobby

First of all, aren’t there fishy streams and apple orchards in those purple bits?

Secondly, I can hear that Chinette screaming under the weight of all that goodness.

what passes for “news” in the upstates…

[BmillsSkier]

Yeah, but I bet the readers gobble that stuff up.

Must have been a downstater in that car that stopped.

A true upstater would have mowed them down and wrapped them in the blue tarp in their trunk to keep fresh till they got home

They need to be tenderized with the grille of a car first. Meat's a bit tough.

Turkeys are dangerous. I almost hit one in Maine in October. I was doing at least 65 on ME Rt 26, came around a corner and the bastard chose that exact moment to try to fly accross the road. I have no idea how it didn't end up in my lap through the windshield. Or even how it made it over the hood. Graceful fliers they are not. Not a scratch on the car. I still don't know how I missed it. Hopefully I scared it silly and it won't try that again.

I caught one at over 100 on I80 in OH. It was just lifting and it rolled up the hood, over the roof and into the windshield of the car following me. Into, IOW through
