The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[ex-powderbroker]

Rockland County is like Northwest Jersey, not Long Island (it only seems like Long Island because Long Island and Jersey are far more similar than either would like to admit). It is neither upstate nor downstate. Neither is willing to accept it as their own.

Also, if you put it to a vote, the folks in the city would not draw the line at the Bronx, or would do so in jest only. We always knew that "Westchester" is not upstate, we just call it that to annoy the people from Westchester. But anything north of Westchester? Fuck, no idea what county that is, which means upstate.

exactly, like Brewster (?)

^You've been there Where we rode, a few minutes from Brewster, is definitely Upstate. Not the same level of Upstate as this and even though it's 300 miles south it's still upstate.

Ask Google Maps for directions from Akwesasne to Potsdam to Croghan. I went through some empty fkn places today... Truly core, Upstate stuff

Look at the body rust on that Dodge.

You sure you aren’t in Erie, or even the Upstates outposts of NE Ohio?

Long Island is the Island whether you are in Montauk or Hicksville.

Really, Montauk to Bay Ridge Brooklyn are the extents of LI, but nobody ever calls Brooklyn "the Island"....

[ex-powderbroker]

well yeah, because it’s the city.

[Danno]

well yeah, because it’s the city.

Fuck no it's not the city.

It's Brooklyn.

[ex-powderbroker]

We don't have to balkanize everything, 4 balkans is enough!

[Brownski]

Fuck no it's not the city.

It's Brooklyn.

Right? When I was in the Bronx I wouldn't say the city. I would say the Bronx. Does anybody call Staten Island the city?

The what? I'd never been there before. I made my shop visit, had some ice cream and moved on. Apparently I need to go back.

Erie, as in County New York?? PA has state inspection so the worst of the rusted out body panels are in Ohio as you state or New York. Not that you do not see pretty bad rust buckets in PA, but they have the inside on the state inspection sites that will pass anything and slap a sticker on it for another year.

Hilarious. Cob web makes it.

Where's all the fleeing Canadians and other vessels headed south for the winter?

[grskier]

Thread drift, I want a proper Knish.

I haven't had one in years... now I need to check to see if they still have that place in the city's good ones on goldbelly.

3 days, something like 900 miles and just a few spots of sun. Upstate

Long Island is the Island whether you are in Montauk or Hicksville.

Well, the island folk aren’t all united either. Don’t get an east-ender riled up about the up-island people.

So, when you live there there's 'the island' and there's 'out on the island'. Or there's those aforementioned 'up-islanders' and 'us'. Having spent no time on the North Fork I don't know what they call themselves but we never went there so it didn't really count.

Tell us about Mastic. Is it still the complete shithole of yore?

[gravitylover]

That's kind of a sticky subject. Actually I have no idea, I've only driven through a few times over the last 35 years since I moved off The Island.
