being a native NYstater, upstate always seemed to mean anything north of Poughkepsie, or just over the board from Scranton...
Nixon is a MORON and a rabid one at that.
Everyone knows about the corruption in Albany already. Ditto re NYC and de B. !
Sadly, there aren't enough people to vote for a GOPer; there are tons of damned ILLEGALS in NYC, L.I., and even in other places in N.Y. state; not to mention the brain dead who won't vote for a GOPer no matter what. :-(
And lastly....the ONLY reasons that de Blasio has ever won any election, is that only 1/4 ( and that number includes lots of ILLEGALS, so even this number is inaccurate )of those who could vote for the mayor of NYC, turned out to vote; the rest just ignored it. Ergo, it's still far more people/votes, than can be turned out upstate.
These are the sad facts; you offered an hallucination/wishful thinking.
Tonawanda is contaminated by Bflo.
Don’t know about NT - I’m now in exile.
I hosted a meeting in Nyack, calling it our organization’s downstate meeting, and was swarmed by Manhattanites correcting my “error”.
I call everything east of NM “back east”

Can everyone north and west of Ithaca be let go to form a more normal state then?
Upstate begins at the Tappen Zee Bridge.
Though Albany is a Twilight Zone of its own.
Grand Island is essentially Ontario.
No, there’s big region north of Rockland and Westchester County that is deemed (by folks living there) to be “Central New York - including Syracuse, Utica and Albany. So they’d tell you to go north of that to be in “Upstate” NY.
That seems reasonable, just like Manhattan gets divided into three nearly equal geographic regions - Downtown, Midtown and Uptown - so the same should go when dividing up regions in the state.
I’m at my sister’s in Westchester. This place is the boonies. I’m pretty sure Upstate starts in Yonkers.
Sort of an “Operation Hillary” scenario.
Baldwinsville.
Painted Post or Pulaski or Potsdam or once you cross the Hudson River on the Thruway or cross the Throgs Neck Bridge .
I went to a fantastic Grateful Dead concert in Ithaca in 1977.
Nah...anything east of the Sierras is "back east."
Those were great days.
I was born and lived a couple of years in Thornwood. Dad used to hunt skunks where the Kensico Reservoir is now.
