Why you little scuzzbag!

I had crawdads at Spanky's once.

I used to love both Spanky's.

I went to Farmers and Chefs last time I was home, which is close to that area. Highly recommended if any of you visit the jewel of Dutchess County.

Benny, you should check out the rail trail from Tetonia to Ashton. Possibly the most scenic rail trail in the country.

And, I grew up in Peekskill and commuted to the Bronx every day for high school. It's in the schizophrenic zone. I'd either express bus to White Plains and get off the train at the botanical gardens, or train to 125th street and come up to Fordham, or to get home take the MTA to Marble Hill and hike 2 miles home. I can't tell you how many thousands of hours I spent on those lines or how many nights I slept in Grand Central.

Train Time. The rest of America doesn't know.

Well you don't spell it son, you eat it!

The Bar Car. The rest of America doesn’t know.

Thing of the past, unfortunately. Grab a tall boy or mixed drink at a stand at GCT. Two if above White Plains.

This. The amount of paper bags left every night could light the empire state building.

What the hell?

What the hell?

Right. E'RYTHING is upstate and they outted the ROC. That's a double whammie.

"Rchstr". Natives say the name without using vowels. Home of the White Hot.

This is what happens when you base lists on stats instead of visiting them.

Or considering things like sunshine. Or culture. Or jobs. Or fistfights.

Right. Plus there’s nothing like half your working age adults fleeing to SC to help bring down those population density and housing numbers

[wooley12]

I think that maybe you're missing the "Post Corona apocalypse" that was factored with ROC into the study. I grew up in Seabreeze in the 60's and lived in the ROC burbs for 50 years. Most of the 40someting's that I still know there are killin it now. My 4 br house on 5 acres went to a drone pilot for $200k. I was happy. He made out. So I'm biased

[glademaster]

It's not surprising that you managed to end up in one of the few places in the country where the weather is even shittier and more depressing than upstate New York.

[ötzi]

...I grew up in Seabreeze in the 60's.

Seems like maybe that place should have been named Lakebreeze. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Se...!4d-77.5423996

Always good HS lacrosse in Irondequoit though, so they have that going for them. Which is nice.

[wooley12]

Irondequoit HS was always a powerhouse. Played against them when I went to the HS that was on the blue collar side of town. Wood sticks, leather helmets and arm guards were for sissies. IHS and the Whipple Boys crushed us. We were the Bad News Bears without skills.

That's right man ... feed the stereotype. The weather sucks here. Just got off the lake.

yep.

You guys may have stumbled onto a good metric for where upstate starts. If you can find decent pizza, you’re downstate. I don’t think it changes the borders much.

I call BS on the can't find good pizza upstate trope. All along the Mohawk river/Erie canal there is good pizza. A great variety as well. Go to Lockport and try Pizza Oven and Davidson Road Inn (formerly Pontillo's) for two good pizza joints in one small city. All the communities along the canal were predominantly irish and Italian.

Hey, if you like it that’s great. Don’t let me spoil it for you.
