Even George Washington referred to the Pine Bush area as Upstate NY. | I realize that this is 'silly semantics'.
However,there is a dividing line between 'really'upstate and downstate.
Syracuse,on the Mohawk river is downstate,and the hospital,and some municipal buildings are so named.
I also have been exposed to a few really upstate New Yorkers,who consider themselves 'better' then ordinary downstate New Yorkers.
When I post on a forum that is New York oriented,like this one,I identify myself as 'downstate',to seperate myself from those folks.On any other forum,I am 'upstate'

MilkMan and OldMike - I'm your neighbor to the west. I live in Owego. Does anyone use the Tioga County Shooter's Association range? It's on Charmichael Road about 2 miles off the main drag.
Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.
