Welcome from California.
Well i guess I'm a downstater In your book my friend. Not to discount the uniqueness of the north country - it sure is nice - but, culturally, where i live in Greene County has a hell of a lot more in common with you folks up there in the Adirondacks than with Westchester and points South! Thanks for the welcome.Welcome from upstate NY. You boys need to clarify "upstate." If you hail from Long Island or NYC, anything north of Westchester is viewed as upstate.
Those of us from actual upstate tend to consider the dividing line as north of Albany.

I will concede that NY is a big place with a variety of geographic scenes, and lifestyle differences.Welcome from Loudonville. As far as the dividing line between upstate NY and down state I think you need to draw that a little further south. I am in Albany county which is a pocket of downstate. Kind of snowflakey. I have a place in Schoharie county and that just has nothing in common with the flatlanders down state. I used to live in Greene county(Greenville) and that sure was upstate.
Anyway welcome!!
I have some great memories of a hunting camp off Reedburn Rd in Delaware Co. South of Downsville. Great people there. To me, that's downstate, and starting west.Some upstate patriots from the past. Butts Corner NY these signs are located in Charlotte Valley. Delaware county route 9 off st. hwy. 23
That is a definite! Too many downstaters have moved upstate bringing their view points and attitude with them. My neighbor grew up on Long Island and worked construction all over NYC area and the Island. His family has had the land across the street from me for longer than I have lived here which is 40 years. He moved up full time 3 years ago as he could no longer stand the environment and attitudes. Tells me he hates going down even for the day to see his mom. He may sound like a downstater when he speaks but his views are definitely upstate.Maybe "upstate" is more a state of mind, than a physical location.
