Reply to comment by paulerxx in Micron’s investing $100 billion to bring the country’s ‘largest semiconductor fabrication facility’ to New York by Avieshek

They keep saying “Upstate” but I really had to dig to find exactly where they are talking about. Onondaga County, outside Syracuse. Everyone in NYC thinks the rest of NY is Upstate. Syracuse is Central NY to those of us from Western NY, aka Buffalo.

Went to high school in Champlain NY, I always laughed when people said "like Albany". Try 2 hours north!

Went on a cruise this summer. Ended up sitting with a very nice couple from the Bronx at dinner each night. Get talking, exchanging where we are from and what not. The lady says “Oh Buffalo? I own property in Albany so that’s right there, right?” This statement was based solely on what she sees on thruway signs.

Many people in NYC forget there’s more state than just the heaping island of concrete, lol.
