That’s pretty fucking dead on with my own mental map, however there are a few anomalies.

The legends and hoaxes caught my eye. I was hoping for a longer list. I knew about most of these already. The Cardiff giant was at the Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown last I knew.

Anyway, Ardsley is not upstate but I got a glimpse of what our new rest stops look like.
I think this is the only Chick fil A in Westchester- hence the long line at a Thruway rest stop.
Contrast with the Burger King
I guess the Chick .fil A explains this. Right before the tolls just south of the rest stop I passed these clowns doing about 30 in the right lane. They really wanted a chicken sandwich
They had a tiny dog with them on that scooter too. Good rest stop

Schenectady is Mohawk Valley and not Capital District? I beg to differ...

Respectfully: It’s true that it touches the Mohawk River but if that’s the whole story then the town of Colonie would be part of the Mohawk Valley too and North Creek (Gore) would be part of the Hudson Valley region. No way. Rivers are too long to be definitive. Schenectady and Colonie are capital district and Gore is in the Adirondack region.

I think you’ve put some frank, but firm, WNY hospitality on Page 1 that our new readers will appreciate. Originally Posted by huckbucket

That guy looks like he’s got a stick up his ass. Another name for the Capital District is The Tri City Area. One of the cities is Schenectady Originally Posted by m2711c

CDTA has a “Schenectady Division”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capita...tion_Authority
Seems pretty definitive. Also, Schenectady pretty much sucks. Can’t imagine why you would want it in your region anyway.
Come on bro, this is important work being done here. Originally Posted by half-fast

By your definition, Albany would not be Capital District, it would be Hudson Valley. Originally Posted by m2711c
