Well I’m from Utica and our jokes have punchlines
May I see it?
.........No.
WE ARE REAL. WE EXIST.
SOMETIMES IT'S STEWART'S INSTEAD OF DOLLAR GENERAL.
The difference is that Stewart's fucking slaps.
Best place ever
I am a stew-bag through and through
their ice cream gives me the shits but it's always worth it for that mint cookie crumble

yeah that's proper upstate New York, everywhere else will get laughed at if you call it upstate. Tell someone from the Bills Mafia in Buffalo that they're from upstate and they're likely to jump through a table defending WNY.

I've driven through upstate NY just once going from Boston to Buffalo and took a detour to Ithaca. Extremely beautiful drive during that detour I will say.
It's gorges or whatever

I made a similar drive once and I kept looking up at those ridges and wondering how hard it would be to climb to the top of them. I pulled over at one point and gave one a try, and I can say: it's insanely fucking hard. Like, I think I would have died if I hadn't turned around and gone back down to my car.
I wonder if horror movies will eventually drop the old run down gas station for teens to stop at on their way to die and replace them with dollar stores.
We should petition the horror movie guild.
A sketchy dispensary, maybe? I feel like that scene is usually more about getting the beer than the gasoline.
Don't most zombie movies already have a trip to a store like that?
That is for getting supplies, not for an old sketchy dude to warn them about not going to that cursed lake.
man, that dollar general took over the greatest steamed hams spot in all of Albany.
Not enough dollar stores. Need 3 different kinds in a strip mall.
And they're all owned by the same company
I used to live in Daytona and there was a spot with a Dollar General, a Family Dollar and a Dollar Tree all within maybe 200 feet of each other. For good measure there was also a Super-Whipper store - a little store that sold nothing but $1 plastic whisks and was never open. I've never before or since seen less effort put into a drug money-laundering scheme.
100% what im talking about. Sad part is parking lot is full.
Great state parks, excellent rock climbing, and most waterfalls on the east coast. And Dollar Generals.
Fuck Dollar General.
I, for one, miss you and your mesh shirt and your run-down shop, Marvin Bissel.
Please do not come to upstate New York, I like being alone. I guess you could burn down some of the mansions if you want to stop by.
As a Canadian who’s driven through a couple times it really is a weird place. There are some parallels pretty much all over North America but upstate NY really hit me as uncomfortable. It’s hard to tell what anyone does and you can really see the poverty. The poverty and the overabundance of US flags.
In the south its much the same, but lots of confederate and trump flags.
Don't worry, there's plenty of confederate flags in UNY and WNY too.
Southerns say its their "heritage". So... whats new yorkers excuse?
Crazy to me how easy it is these days to Photoshop out a dollar general from the landscape
About the same with northwest Pennsylvania
And north central.
If you can't see one from where you are, move a quarter mile in any direction.
I'm european.
What does "upstate" mean?
New York City is located in the southeastern corner of the state, so "upstate NY" means basically everything north/west of the NYC metro area. It's a word that is pretty much exclusively used for New York.
Nooooo ... You were supposed to say "What's upstate dog?“
Wait... I might be confusing it with something else.
To further clarify expr's explanation, most people are familiar with new york only by way of new york city. Shockingly (/s), new york city, a city confined by small island and shoreline with a population of 8 million+, is an entirely different beast than the entire state with a slightly larger population. So people generally differentiate upstate new york with the moniker to explicitly refer to how it is different; mainly being rather rural outside of the 'minor' metropolitan areas like albany. The 'up' part is because most folks think of north as 'up' due to maps being oriented that way.
Northern part of the state, it's not an official description and everyone will have a different definition of where upstate starts.
Tbh this looks very relaxing, but maybe the grass is greener or somethin'.
either that or a tim hortons (TIM HORTONS ICED MATCHA LATTE SWEEEEEEEEEEP)
I live there, and can confirm.
So upstate New York doesn't have a Walmart?
