Buffalo is rust belt
Buffalo is WNY
WNY is Upstates
Therefore "the rust belt penetrates the Upstates" is true.

Utica is more rust belt like than a lot of the northeast. That's definitely changing though and is noticeable over the last 5 years.

Rust belt is integral. Most upstaters live in small rust belt or former rust belt cities.

The rust belt moniker is as much cultural as it is physical location, pretty much like Upstate. While the primary thought is it's places that use salt on the roads so the cars rust it's also the degradation of large metal infrastructure due to long wet periods and stuff just sits and rots. The rust belt reaches into the deep south, rotting old mills and factories etc., and more recently has made it's way right to the PNW coast where road salt has been used extensively for at least 10 years. The cultural aspect is another whole thread...

From Wikipedia:
"The Rust Belt is a region of the United States that experienced industrial decline starting around 1980. The U.S. manufacturing sector as a percentage of the U.S. GDP peaked in 1953 and has been in decline since, impacting certain regions and cities primarily in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the U.S., including Allentown, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Jersey City, Newark, Pittsburgh, Rochester, and other areas of New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Upstate New York."

If the floor rotted out of your 1980 subaru and your dad had to get a guy down at the plant to weld in a plate so your feet wouldn't hit the pavement if you got out of the seat = upstate. And after your dad died your neighbor and arborist from VT who gave you a free christmas tree every year took the car, chopped the top off of it and used it to haul logs, more upstate.

My twin sister is on the board of Mucc. She is heavily involved. She speaks Thai, Laotian, and Nepali, which has come in very handy. She is amazing.

Meh, I am a third generation welder. I spent my youth at the family shop welding floorboards into Mustangs and torsion bar mounts back into Dodge Darts. On Long Island in the 1980s.
1970s shitty Detroit steel knows no boundaries and turned to dust anywhere besides the most arid deserts.

I put myself through college working in restaurants and 7-11's on the south fork in the late 80's early 90's. That was a lot of miles on my bicycle. I still drive the same car that my mother drove into the shinnacock bay when she was high on chemo radiation and airliner bottles. A plow took off the front corner bumper this winter and there is rust underneath. I felt a little verklempt for her and the salt.

I was going to post how you were just glossing over the lead story - that Wikipedia had a definition of Upstate. Then I read the page. Second sentence starts with “Although the precise boundary is debated…”
And TGR again stands undisputed as the premier academic authority on the subject. Anyone know how to reference/cite this thread on the Wikipedia page?

I am not an expert on the upstate. It is like a foreign land I venture into. It is unlike any of the 10 or so states I have lived in so is fascinating culturally and geographically.
