The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

Better than Bellayre.

Hunter is going to be a shitshow on Thursday if this storm produces.

I agree on both counts. I have it on good authority that mountain creek is moving up their opening day to Thursday. They look to be in the bullseye and you gotta figure this will catch their target audience off guard right? Does your average teenaged park rat track storms? Might be the best mountain crack day ever.

I'd have to get really high to enjoy Mountain Creek.

How many Genny Creams would it take Benny?

[huckbucket]

^Never

Well y'all got me convinced that Bristol needs to be on the hit list. Next year...

If you don't do it this year, you will be one year older when you do.

This is Jersey- expect bud light and white claw.

How'd they get past the guard shack?

[BmillsSkier]

There’s a guard shack?

Seems like the Upstate could use one.

Just no clue on where to put it.

pretty sure it would have to be north of all the lines on this map....

Looks like there should be many shacks in that case.

Get off the train, pay your toll and they hand you a flannel or something like that.

[huckbucket]

This aspiring cartographer gets it.

[BmillsSkier]

I'll say. The uncharted mass between what appears to be Massachusetts-Rochester and Texas checks out.

This is a strong contender for top thread of 2020.

Anything around 287 oughta do it. Yup, I've decided that that's the break between downstate and upstate. I did it.

I just took a run up into a part of ct I’ve never been this am Terryville.
It had a decidedly upstate feel in the town proper.

I’m guessing to much schnapps in the shack last night.

I recommend sliding over a bit west and rolling down Rt 12. Sherburne, Oxford, Chenango Forks, Greene. Some beautiful old homes that time forgot. Some totally run down places that time never knew. Buncha cops trying to catch you missing the speed limit drops every 10 minutes as you whip into the towns. Feels like an old pair of jeans. Your mileage, however, may vary.

You drove right past me.

Yeah basically everything north and west of Southington is like stepping back a few decades. There are a lot of places in NW CT that rival the economic powerhouses of Upstate NY. I drive past that lock museum a few times a year, is it worth stopping at?

[BmillsSkier]

It's a lock museum, of course you stop and check it out. There can't be more than a few dozen in existence.

[m2711c]

i didn’t even know ct had a canal.....

haven't driven rte 12 but i don't doubt it. last speeding ticket i got was in NYS, of course (fucking taconic). never seen an upstate town budget but i surmise that in some ticket revenue is a real part of the equation (might be old news).

I'm from downstate but get what you mean by old jeans. grew up in an old farmhouse and used to teach US history and have always loved places where you can see the layers going back many decades or centuries.

stopped there a few times when I lived up that way, but never stepped into the lock museum - the doors were always...

Buying used auto parts?

[BmillsSkier]

Is upstate CT a repository for used auto parts any more than the Upstate might be?
