and tbh o.O i dnt think it's possible you've seen my car unless you were out during that giant snow storm dec 2nd lol. I slapped my jeep's plates on it and drove it down windham mountain slipping and sliding all over the place going down and got it home after buying it for 3grand. Otherthan that it hasn't left my driveway >.>

I havn't registered it yet until i can find a job hehe.

What part of schenectady anyways? maybe you have seen it in the driveway lol, i live off of albany street. I do recall seeing a black 3rd gen camaro on the side of a house further down from me.

Massena Here,... The real Upstate NY.

Just wondering why people from albany and syracuse and other areas in southern NY are considering them selves as Upstate NY.

Thread Title should read who's in New York!!!!

sonjaab

LOL!..........You guys are in NORTHERN NY! Syracuse is usually called Central NY.

But whats funny the NYC and downstate folks call Poughkeepsie/Albany "upstate NY".

I have a summer place in Alexandria Bay BTW.....................
Maybe see ya'all soon for a beer eh?

Alexandria is a Nice place in the summer. I go a couple times a summer take the family to play mini put at the Canadia, Us course best one in the area. Massena is about an hour and a half North of there. Right on the Canadia border.

lol hour and a half to play mini golf.

I couldn't believe it when someone from Westchester told me they were from Upstate NY.. I didn't even know where that was until I found it on the map accidentally. I would consider Albany and SYR the center line for NY. I think GOV Patterson should split the state into Northern NY and South NY and let the cess-pool support itself. All the Power generated from Upstate, Food, and other stuff comes from us to support the Money Hungry Cess-Pool in NYC..

Upstate, at least as far as I am concerned, is anything outside of Long Island/NYC...

Upstate New York is the region of New York State north of the core of the New York metropolitan area. The term Upstate is used to refer to the whole of the state besides New York City and Long Island.

Wouldn't the core or the center of NY actually be Albany then since it is the Capital. So technically anything north of the Core would be Upstate. And anything else would be downstate.

Slash

it says the core of the metropolitan area which is nyc and long island.

Core = Apple. NYC = The Big Apple = The Big City that never sleeps
-

In my true opinion Upstate new york is anything north of the Catskills. but the definition is all above the nyc+long Island

Slash

tbh i jus noticed this and i think it's funny you jointed Poughkeepsie and Albany together when they're over an hour and half apart and over 80miles. :P

Now all of you New Yorkers can drive your CAWS together. Possibly have a cookout, and eat some hamBUWgers, HAWT DAWGS. Just don't slam the CAW DAWS, or get pulled over by the POWICE for speeding.

Just kiddin' guys! I used to live pretty close to the border of New York, north of Williamsport, PA. Basically in the middle of nowhere. Population: 6, not counting the farm animals.

I'm in the neighborhood between the Butcher Block restaurant and Krause's candy. I haven't driven the car much this past year (bought a house-that'll suck ALL your spare money up in a heartbeat, work long hours, play guitar in a band on the side, etc...), it's a time thing. I treat this car the way I treated the Vette I had before it, it does not see rain..it's definitely a sunny day only ride. It's sitting in my garage. Got so many projects going on I don't know if I'll put it on the road this year or not, would like to but priorities are priorities. Might try and get over to that car show at the high school in May??
You live off Albany St?..My best friend used to live on St. Thomas Lane (right down from Morris Rd.).

Yeh the Car show is may 13th. and ye i'm only a few streets down from St Thomas, i'm on Runnel :P

I grew up in Penn Yan. Moved to CA 3 yrs ago and am moving back to Penn Yan in 6 years. I've lived in Rochester and Corning. Also lived in Mansfield PA and Wellsboro PA. Hey do they still make Genesee Beer? My dad used to drink stuff that when I was little. LOL

sonjaab

Oh yea they still make Jenny beer! Its the local swill beer still beloved by the old folks and some younger hardcore Central NYers!!!!!

Funny thing is the Genesee brewery changed its name a couple of years back
and is now known as High Falls Brewing Company and they still brew the
Genesee brands as well as the Sam Adams brands that are sold in our Area
along with other local brand private label "craft beers".

battmann

iTrader: (9)

i actually work about a block away from this brewery. you can tell the days when they're making beer because there's a strong mash smell in the air.

Duane's 91 Z/28

iTrader: (1)

I know right where the brewery is. I'd sometimes drive by there when I used to work @ Kodak. I was sad when I saw they tore down Building 58. Alot of memories there. I also worked out at Elmgrove plant between my jobs at 58. I liked Rochester. Made alot of friends there and went to alot of car shows there. I've lived several places in Penfield, Irodequoit, and Gates before I moved to Corning.

87firebird305V8

Pavilion ny, bought half way between rochester and buffalo, im accually like 5 mins or so from the red osier,(most nyers should know) i accually work there. And mcsslover my dad does(well used to, got laid off) work for Kodak, he works for johnson controls now in the same office and gets paid more and kodak gave him a bunch of benifits, he still does the same thing(Locksmith). and Alex bay is such a nice place, we camp bought a week a year and bring boats jetskis, my uncle brings his vette, which will be mine for that week(first year having my lisence) We camp on wesley island, at Seaway resort(total joke) but were like the only ones there because they dont keep the place in shape(theres a limo in the rech hall, really read reviews)(weve had to mow our own sites the past two years) and the owners are completely crazy no joke, but we have the whole site to ourselves during 4th of july week, where every place else is packed

Duane's 91 Z/28

iTrader: (1)

I know right where Pavilion is. Not far from Darien Lake. It's not a Six Flags anymore is it??
I've only been to Alexandria Bay once. Beautiful place. Once I move back to Penn Yan, Theres so many places I want to take my wife and Alex Bay is one of them. Wow 4th of July week and no people?? Sounds like my kind of campsite.

87firebird305V8

yeah, the original owner bought it back from six flags. That campsite is deff. a place to look into if u arent going to spend much time at the site. The place is falling apart, theres a nice inground pool that the perminate campers maintain, grass is rarely mowed(we bring a push mower) Dont plan on using the boat launch unless you dont mind scrapping the h3ll out of ur hitch, trailer and maybe the trim. which wesley island state park is right down the road that has an awsome launch, the docks are not great but usable, and if u have kids, bring a pole and some worms and fish off the dock, once u set the bait in the water ull have 15 perch on it, my 8y/o cuz caught a 2ft pike with a barbie poll off those docks, the owners are nuts, the old man patrols in his jazzy yells at everyone and everything, but if ur respectable and polite he just moves along. we rent 3 spots and between all our trailers trucks cars we politely take up about 6, we move if someone comes. they try to charge docking fees but they never look at the docks, and they try to charge a dumping fee LOL of 25 dollars, as iff. but where else can u have that much elbow room the bussiest week of the year
