Upstate NY people are kind, generous, honest, responsible and family oriented.
NYC people are rude, dishonest, pushy, politically correct, and often openly gay or LGBT supportive.
NYC people like to brag about themselves and pretend they are better than everyone else. Upstate NY people wish they would just shut up and go away.
NYC people control the government in NYS. They force upstate businesses out of business or force them to leave the state. Elliot Spitzer(love client No.9) who paid $5000 a pop to prostitutes is a NYC type. So are Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, Anthony Weiner and Bill De Blasio.
Upstate people include former Laker Pat Riley, former drag racer Shirley Muldowney, actor William Devane, Tim Russert and Megyn Kelly.
I don’t go there anymore once they sold control to Soros Investment Partners LLP.
It’s a shame that all nice local restaurants eventually get swallowed up.
TTtT, I’ve not been back there in a long while, area of 15 years.
I used to work on a project for Niagara-Mohawk, it was a cool building, but I see they were bought out eventually by a British company.
Take a short ride to Liverpool and eat at Heid’s.
North, south, east or west of the city?
We live about 20 miles from Syracuse. It’s changed. In fact, even my home town , Fulton, has changed. Welfare people seem to have taken over. Nestles is being torn down. :-( So sad.
The closing of the Carrier Factory was the beginning of the end, that place was HUGE!
I worked for GE Aerospace in Electronics Park for 22 years.
The old Ni-Mo building is a classic art deco structure. I remember when they made it a point to turn on the lights again.
Ni-Mo is now part of National Greed, and sold off their power stations to Excellon.
A friend lives in Syracuse. She said a large number of Muslims have moved there in the past couple of years. Lots of kids in the playgrounds with head scarfs.
I went to HS with Rick Heid. He and his sister really made a mess of that gold mine too, once they decided to ditch Hoffmans’. Now under new ownership they are back in business with Hoffmans.
All...LOL!
I have lived in Liverpool, Canastota, Oswego, Pulaski, Tully, and Manlius.
I miss the chocolate aroma when they were roasting at Nestle’s.
I lived in Oswego/Minetto for many years
I guess U of Georgia isn’t Georgia’s team; it’s Athens’?
They couldn’t just leave it at the merely dumb reason to dislike them. (After all, NYC thinks more of Sr John’s as their team.) They just HAD to make it racial.
I visit Syracuse 3-4 times a year.
My impression is that the city peaked in the early 1950s.
Reminds more of an old New Jersey city, like Trenton.
Older buildings and homes that are in a mild state of disrepair...spaced too close together.
Some dangerous neighborhoods, most neighborhhods on the brink of becoming dangerous. Lots of small neighborhood bars. An odd mix of elderly whites, hispanic, muslim and blacks. Definitely not a “white” city.
How long before they petition the city to ban pork at Dino BBQ?
Another measure of how stupid they are:
University of Syracuse is more racially diverse than the population of the state as a whole.
The movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” was set in upstate NY.
