    I'm from upstate, NY... well it depends on where you consider upstate to start.. apparently there is a debate about that. I'm from Poughkeepsie.

    Also from Poughkeepsie, but I do not consider myself to be from Upstate LOL. Anyone from the area feel free to send me a FR. I'm using my phone right now on the mfp website so I won't really able to read the responses on here until I'm back on my computer this afternoon.

    That's pretty funny - I'm originally from the Syracuse area too (Marcellus, if ANYONE'S heard of it) - but - people from NYC think anything over the Tappan Zee Bridge is 'Upstate NY'!

    I am from Buffalo, NY which is western NY. Feel free to add me. Becky is right, NYC folk think anything outside of Manhattan is upstate.
  • Another one from the 'Cuse! I've lived in most parts of the state at one point or another, though, from Rockland County up to the border (my mom could see Canada from the maternity ward!).

    Orange County (Monroe) here, although not too far north on the map, I still consider it upstate since I'm originally from Brooklyn (Flatbush).............

    Originally from Cobleskill, moved to Duanesburg, then moved to Middletown which was really "downstate," defined as anyplace NORTH of Kingston because those downstaters keep moving further north and calling it "the country!" So, we bought a house in Tupper Lake (Adirondacks) and escaped every weekend. Currently working in Michigan (so flat I actually crave the hills of upstate LOL) and spend summers and will retire in Tupper Lake! We are hopeless "upstaters." :drinker:

    I just moved back to the east side of Rochester after being out of state for 18 years. Learning all the new places, especially the parks. Some things have changed a lot where others hardly changed at all.
