Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's as much geography as snobbishness, though -- it's really not upstate.
Upstate is everything that's not NYC or Westchester (i.e., White Plains is not upstate). It was a revelation when I realized that upstate basically wasn't upstate, but, rather, most of the state.
One of my co-workers has a complete collection of Beany Malone in her office and at home.

Buffalo peeps would not consider themselves upstate, but western NY.

I've been mocked by a non-NYC type for calling Poughkeepsie upstate, so really I think it depends on perspective. Sophia, where do you think upstate starts?
What's the difference between the cheaper Roombas and the crazy expensive ones?
Now that I don't have my amazing cleaners, I need to get something for my carpets. I have 1 Qashqa'i and 2 Moroccan with almost no pile, so I'm wondering if I can get away with a carpet sweeper. My main problem is I don't really have the space to store a bigger vaccuum.
Beany was fun. I loved those books.

Up here (Syracuse environs) it's never referred to as upstate, but as Central New York. *I* consider it upstate, though. Hell, it's practically in Canada.
Syracuse can call itself whatever it likes, but we all know it's Hoth.
I ... don't know what that means!
Syracuse also calls itself "the 'cuse" which I find incredibly annoying and stupid.
I have not taken very well to my adopted nearest city, in case you can't tell.

I guess even saying "upstate" means you're thinking from the perspective of NYC, eh? Up from where??

I am having a flashback of someone I went to high school with saying she was going to college at "Cusey, yo!" Which, seriously?

Ah. Well, that's the truth then. ::shudders::
