New York is weird. I grew up in St. Lawrence county and, man, you'd better not be callin it 'upstate'. It's 'the north country'! People get offended if you say it wrong!
I grew up in Albany and would say upstate. Then I went to college in St. Lawrence County and it was like I basically lived in the city when I said I was from Albany. I tell everyone now I went to school on the Canadian border, everyone always guesses Finger Lakes for some reason when I say upstate NY.
Yeah. st Lawrence county is basically the corner of the state that nobody knows exists. They think I'm from buffalo when I say Canadian border. Usually I google the town and show them. "wow! You're practically Canadian, eh?"
Just moved to Toledo, OH. *also interested in attending any Michigan GTGs. I don't know anyone here and there are so few active meet up groups. Please don't make me pay dues to be in a moms group here lol.
I miss you!!!
Also, I just realized I totally ignored you when you messaged me back. I will resolve that this evening.

Its OK, and I miss you too! I wanted to GTG before leaving but I was slammed with crap to do. I'll probably be in town in August for my bffs baby shower. Want to hang out/watch me while I chase DS and say things like "no, we don't climb on curtains hon-GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!"
I grew up in upstate NY, 10 minutes north of the PA border. Pretty much anyone above NYC is considered upstate. Living in other places, and saying I'm originally from NY, EVERYONE automatically assumes NYC. "Wow you don't have an accent at all!"

My father is from St. Lawrence county (Fine, to be specific) and yeah, it's essentially the middle of nowhere. We once got lost driving up to see my grandfather and didn't realize it until we saw a sign that said, "Welcome to Canada."
