Almost as big as getting a total moron into the office of the Presidency.

Upstate is the scene of one of the greatest public hoaxes in American History?

I feel like on a list of top 10 hoaxes in American history, this would not be our only entry

Joseph Smith and the Golden Plates ring a bell?

Cardiff and Manchester (where the plates were, um, found) are both west of 81 so the "Upstate" nomenclature is debatable.

It’s that kind of grit and moxie that I admire so much your people.

This whole thread feels like just another chapter in that story.

I can’t to see how it all turns out.

I noticed today that I hear a ton of DUI lawyer radio commercials upstate. I don’t ever remember hearing one on a metro area station. Is that an upstate thing or just a rural thing?

[ötzi]

more just rural ime. I guess the urban drunks are on foot.

$180 million buys you 36,000 acres and 22 lakes.

A bit grim in winter. Well, it was, back when we used to have winter.

[BmillsSkier]

Grim. If I recall correctly, Jer was the arbiter of grim round these parts.

If there’s anything that I learned growing up catching 38 more days of sunshine during the winter in NE Ohio than those that endured 38 more grey, snowy, days in the Upstate, was that you had to be pretty metal to endure that kind of shit. I don’t think the grim could handle it.

You might just make it here after all soldier.

Finger Lakes aren't that grim in winter, they are much more tolerable than Buffalo and Southern Tier snowbelt.
Bristol Mtn had one cut run without snowmaking, I don't think I ever saw it open. It's no longer on the map.
As for WNY or Finger Lakes being road biking heaven? Sure, go ahead and run with that.

Two lanes of 55 MPH, blind curves, no shoulders, and drunk drivers. What's not to love?

Heart and Hands is solid for this unsophisticated palate.
