Ahem. Most of NYS is made up of red counties. And even the blue bits Upstate are slowly coming around. What screws Upstate is Downstate. I guarantee you, if Upstate had its own state, it would NOT be blue.
I know, a friend of mine lives upstate and is clearing out.
Looks like it has come time for NY’ers to clean out the attic or kiss it all goodbye before it sluices down the sewer.
