The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

**huckbucket** · 01-14-2022, 09:27 AM

Ummmm ... Sunday and Monday at Bristol. I've got Monday off from work ... but every kid in the upstates will be there due to MLK. Decisions. Plus, waxing gibbous ... so I got that going for me ... which is nice.

That sounds like northern VT in the late 80s, early 90s.

Yes, but it is ‘west’ of 81.

The last couple pages have filled me with envy and respect. I wish my dad was willing to tow my sled around with the car as a kid. I should have something to contribute soon though.

I thought you are from here? East/west divider in the city is Salina St

Sorry, but, define "eastern perimeter".

Route 23 just west of Mass, either Hillsdale or Copake Falls I think

**Benny Profane** · 01-15-2022, 07:23 PM

23 is an east/west road, so that would be a north/south line.

So my wife looks at this thing that's going to give me nightmares tonight. She nonchalantly says,"that's a teddy bear made out of hay bales. hmmpf."

Then again, she is from Oneida. The teddy bear actually explains a lot.

This actually explains a lot. Hard to throw natives of the Upstates.

It’s on 23 but I was thinking of the Mass border as the perimeter. We were at Catamount, which straddles the two states.

**Benny Profane** · 01-15-2022, 08:39 PM

Yeah, definitely Ct/Mass/Vermont border.

BTW, I suspect a serial killer specializing in kids did that. But, I'm biased, I'm watching Dexter.

While we've established that Buffalo could just as easily be part of Canuckistan, there's much to celebrate in the upstates this evening.

I came here for the teddy bear pic, but even as an Euro outsider I have to ask whether this bear is truly upstate Unless protected from the elements by blue tarp?

**MakersTeleMark** · 01-16-2022, 01:38 AM

He's so sad he haz no moars gud za.

I kinda want to hug him and let him know that it's going to be OK.

We just have to jump in the car and go south for a small bit, but it's going to be OK.

Crust matters. 'maters don't mean heartburn. Pep doesn't have to taste like the asshole it came from either.

There are doctors for this...

DOWNSTATE.

So there’s a chance Buffalo might just be upstate?

I mean what self respecting upstater would be a jets or giants fan?

PS. Congrats to Buffalo. They need something nice every century.

Just a little belated props for the photo I got from a friend in the middle of the Upstates a couple days ago showing -7 on the thermometer. A nice March day.
