TGR week in review

Malone is Upstate. Poughkeepsie is not.

ha, hardly ^^^

like a lot of words, "Upstate" has multiple meanings. You go to Malone, or Lake Placid or Lake George and ask 'em if Poughkeepsie is upstate and you'll get a different answer than yours.

^^^^ That map matches my Upstate NY territory when I was a peddler. But my map was drawn by a guy on 7th Ave. so there's that.

I grew up in Manhattan, those people were just giving you a hard time. But for real, anything north of Westchester is (to anyone in the city).

the ads against Al d'Amato only half jokingly suggested upstate was anything west of the Hudson. which I think is better because not many people think there's anything east of the hudson in new york of importance other than NYC and long island.

^^^
Dannemora, Law and Order referred to it as, Upstate.


Cool hats dispersed throughout MagDom, Thanks Flyoverland Captive!

Dannemora and Malone are very squarely in the North Country.

As North Country towns go, though, I'm partial to Churubusco, home of Dick's Country Store & Music Oasis: gas, groceries, guns, and guitars.

This is the week in review thread, ladies.

Everything north of Westchester is upstate. Whatever additional regional designations might apply, (Western, CNY, Hudson Valley, Northern tier etc...) its all upstate.

[Brownski]

even Rockland county is questionable, being on the other side of the Hudson (ie, in a different universe). And that map looks to include county or counties north of Westchester, and those are definitely upstate.

Edit: just checked wiki, that map includes Orange, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties. Those are most certainly upstate. As someone from the city, I couldn't have named them or their location, which makes them "upstate". Other than Westchester, Rockland is the only one that could maybe -- maybe -- escape the designation, but only because it's an anomaly, being on the Jersey side of the Hudson.

Right.
Most people that live in Rockland either work in or have some connection to the city. It’s a suburb of NYC for sure but people who live in the city usually have no idea what I’m talking about when I explain where I live. Lots of them ask if it’s in Jersey.

I'll concede anything west of 91 in MA as upstate NY too.

There are a big bunch of us, I am sure, that do Not care where upstate begins and ends...

Malone is Upstate. Poughkeepsie is not.

So this is where I ran into someone who agreed that Poughkeepsie was not upstate, but for a different reason. To them, up state was Catskills and South of Dutchess county to NYC, and stopped north and west of there. And that all of the other named regions were exactly that, named regions. So where would this person have gotten that idea?? That the named regions could not be 'Upstate' because they are named regions? Person was from the Bronx. Too much crack? Seriously, this is driving me nuts.

[riser4]

I'll concede anything west of 91 in MA as upstate NY too.

So, in a similar vein, anything south/west of I-89 in VT really isn't part of VT. It's a mix of NH, NY, and Dog forbid, MA. You may think that west of 91 is 'Upstate' NY, but the southern tier portions of VT East of VT-100 and south of 89 are definitely MA-lite, with a NH influence. North of 89 and east of 91 feels like NH. Essex County, with parts of Orleans.

Millions showed how virtuous they are by standing up for a made up person in a commercial for a bike that can’t take you anywhere.

It was a glorious week.
