I have been to those ten places, this is fairly accurate. You could also throw-in any city in Upstate New York.
I’d be more inclined to throw away any city in Upstate NY simply because there are places in Upstate NY that are not willing to help themselves. I say that because of the recent todo about gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale-Broome County has taken drilling off its agenda and I believe the state has too. As a proponent of “drill here, drill now”(drill everywhere), I think that’s pretty short-sighted when exploration/drilling could be a boon for the Upstate economy. But, no, most of what you see from Upstate is “save the mountain”, “go green’, etc from a bunch of green wienies. Let them reap what they sow.
