Leaving Central NY was a popular decision

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

[The Mayor]

How are ya Benson?

Call (ping) me when you get back..I'm leaving right now for Albany : )

[Pharmboy]

And how's Corning been for you folks in that area?

[PigRigger]

You just gave me a stomach ache!

Count your blessings it's only a stomach ache!!!
Usually, Matt's Beer gave me the aches; Genny declared war on all my innards.

[Grammy]

I have a visit to make to Ithaca in October. Hopefully that will end my need to come there, and if so, I will never voluntarily set foot in that town again.

[Revelation 911]

mmmmmm zweigels

[Revelation 911]

And how's Corning been for you folks in that area?

Up and down - they had opened a manufacturing plant here in Roch a year or two ago and promptly closed it after stealing a good number of our employees

They'd be wise to pull up roots and relocate - thier only tie to Rochester and Corning itself is historical - why let that dictate thier business when taxes etc are so high? - Theyve clearly proven they have the technology - Say goodbye to Corning and leave the museum for the touristas

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I have a feeling that, as long as RINO Amo Houghton wants to keep getting re-elected in Upstate NY, Corning will still have a presence.

If Amo retires....I figure they're out of here ten years tops.

[Gritty]

NC is a very gun friendly state.

Of course, New York is not.

Someday, somebody wanting to do a doctoral thesis will take all the pro and anti-gun states and correlate them to their liveablity for the average person and business just trying to make a living and live in peace.

It's obvious which states will come out on top.

we should have an "Upstate FReeper Picnic" at Letchworth or somewhere in the Finger Lakes, for those folks just east of Syracuse. What do ya'll think? Worth discussing further?

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I left last year and went to Virginia. There is so much construction work going on, I would have stayed cept I didn't want to raise my kids in that racist atmosphere.

Just curious - where were you in VA? I live in central Virginia (Louisa Co.) - God's country and home to fine, fine people of all types.

"New York state has been sending people to the rest of the country for at least three decades and the principal reason is the stagnation of the economy, especially in Upstate New York,"

Stagnation caused by Liberals and Rinos because conservatives simply don't get elected in "moderate" New England states. Add to that the crappy winters and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to predict the exodus.

Of course we are all Western NYers not "central" . But as you know we have exactly the same issues in Erie and Monroe counties.

Four of my seven kids are gone , I may soon follow .(like the mayor)

I think a picnic is a great idea for the central/Western NY freepers..our chapter has gone and my good friend weatherman has become a stranger:>)

Funny I still love NY, I just hate what it has become.

BTW Buffalo is now in the hands of a control board. The Democrats have driven it into bankruptcy , and the sheeple here will continue to vote for them.

hey 123 I am still looking for the GOP meeting..maybe in the fall

[Maelstrom]

Businesses are voting with their feet...
People are voting with their wallets...

The result is the same. Just as soon as I can afford it, I'M OUTTA HERE TOO

[Maelstrom]

and Binghamton

[bc2]

well, if anyone else thinks the WNY FReeper picnic sounds like something they want to discuss more, let's hear from ya!


RNMom, I might be in Buffalo sometime this fall, if so should I send you a note ahead of time?
