Upstate Ny Rolecall

I've said this somewhere else before but it bears repeating, so here goes, paraphrased of course.

Growing up in Jersey, like you said, anything outside "the city" was "upstate". (You can blame whomever named the whole state and the city that's barely even a part of it the same thing for that.) Now I live between Syracuse and Albany. There's no doubt that I am considerably north of a lot of the state. But when we say "upstate New York" around here in reference to where we live, we're met with "we're not upstate New York; we're central New York!" by people who have lived ere their whole lives. So I guess to them upstate would be just shy of Canada? :confused:

Yes, and we laugh at those in the Utica/Albany/Syracuse areas that like to say they're upstate...

I live in Malone. I can almost spit on Canada. Way way upstate!
