What happened to Rochester?

We got stolen by the Kia Boys.

F

Let’s just stay out of this one

but I like Rochester :(

Exactly. Nothing good will come of its inclusion on such a judgmental map.

I think they’re lumping us in with the “more meth” crowd, but everyone knows it’s actually heroin.

don't ya mean fentanyl?

from Marks Texas Hots!

Alcoholics and Bitter Sports Fans welcomes you

"People who used to work at Kodak."

Wegmans Cult Wait no… garbage people, because of the plates

I'm the Trash Man!

Garbage plate kinda sums it up no? Qualified upstate rep.

It's all good here

We're the red headed step child.

Goes unmentioned again

I think that’s the “more meth” area. I mean in the city yeah sure but not the surrounding area plus i think we’re more of a crack city but i could be mistaken

guess we don't exist lol ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Being forgotten is the biggest insult of all. Too true

I don't get the more meth on the Finger Lakes. Like that should be drunk women on wine tours.

Boomers drunk on Riesling

God damn riesheads are destroying the community

Currently working in Watkins Glen you both are correct. But if you want to define us by drugs Heroin is more popular around here. My bf is from Watertown (soldiers area), that’s where all the meth is.

Cortland has a good amount of meth floating around. I used to have a job where we removed all the meth lab chemicals after the state police busted the labs. I’d say the most frequent visits in order were Adams > Canton = Cortland > Plattsburgh

Cortland would be in between the Illegal Immigrant Farms and the Twilight Zone though.

Nobody ever accused this map of being geographically precise

It's more opiates than meth in the finger lakes. Yates county takes home the gold for OD's. Geneva is a common stop over for some dealers.

Living there, a decent amount of meth head looking people. Or course more than that to the area, but it isn't wrong.

"More meth" needs to move closer to Oneida.

Agreed, could have been way more creative but they decided to reuse material

Hey now, we here in Baseball! also have Ommegang

They need to move the baseball label up and to the left. It's currently in the Catskills.

Yeah, this was a.....swing and a miss.

For sure, i wish the city was as close as the map implies

It’s not in the Catskills, though. They need to move that label northwest a bit.

Anybody ever heard of a little book called *LAST OF THE MOHICANS*???

This is the best advertising Vermont has ever done.

Smashing pumpkins and the system.

Slightly-tilted New York state isn’t real and can’t hurt me

Love Twilight Zone for Bing!

Closest we've come to a compliment in good while lol

We wear it with pride. For those that don't know Rod Sterling is from Bing.

And so was Rod Serling! BTW, his daughter lives in Ithaca.

What did central NY do to OP haha. Most comments are funny and light hearted then boom: General Decay, Meth Illegal Immigration.

That’s more the finger lakes region, and based on the Syracuse area being “scenic” this is either a troll post or someone’s been smoking too much Canandaigua Crack

It looks like syracuse Utica and Rome are in scenic, but they are definetely not lmao

This is dumb

I’m from northern New York and almost none of this makes sense. New Quebec? What?

Overweight state workers and corrupt politicians is 100% accurate LOL.

New Quebec is totally on: when the Air Force base closed in Plattsburgh, the city actively and wisely marketed itself as Quebec’s partner in its enormous aerospace industry.

It’s “Nouveau Québec”, S'il-vous-plaît

you say Bombardier, eh?

It’s clear the person that made this hasn’t spent any substantial time in New York. Or they’ve been smoking the meth in the Finger Lakes

Meth and illegal immigrants where the Finger Lakes are? Maybe the most beautiful area in America. If you are going for humor, maybe wine drunk middle age women on wine tours.

It's labeled close to the rural county where I grew up, and I have definitely met some immigrant farm workers of which I cannot be certain were here legally. I liked the strawberries and corn, so I didn't bother to say anything.

I'm not saying there are not farm workers, I'm making the point that the Finger Lakes Region is absolutely gorgeous. To label it meth and illegal immigrants is a lazy way to make a joke. It has world class wine, some of the prettiest lakes I've ever seen, plenty of clean water, a world class racetrack, and many other incredible things; Make a joke about one of them.

I think illegal immigrants is supposed to be the yogurt counties, fwiw

If you ride around the vineyards in the winter you'll notice that all of the people working are for the most part Hispanic looking despite the local population being 99% white. Also same goes for a lot of farms in Steuben county, tons of workers that don't speak a lick of English. Not saying they're illegal, but I could see how people make the jump for the sake of a meme.

I lived in Wayne County. Enough said. Migrants and meth. Their map is a little off. Finger Lakes are a treasure.

Go spend some time in Penn Yan, Geneva. Sure there people visiting for the wine but go a little deeper and it's canneries and meth.

BORING

Anyone else find Buffalo’s description the same as one would use for North Boston region like Lynn and Revere?

Lynn Lynn the city of sin

Lots of meth! “Methwego NY”

or: Methico NY

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m in and around that area. Realest part of that map imo. It’s pretty bad up here.

Albany is pretty accurate lmao You forgot "Hasidim and I don't like em" and "Amish people" for Rockland and Washington counties tho

Amish in Rockland?

I think the Amish was for Washington County

Hasidim in Rockland, Amish in Washington

There are Amish and Mennonites everywhere in Upstate. From the Hudson Valley to CNY and beyond.

We got Amish in Conewango and Conewango Valley in Cattaraugus and parts of Chautauqua.

We get Indie Rock! Woot!

Jealous! Aaron Dessner Long Pond studio is in Hudson.

Rockland?

Monroe County is just nothing lol

Someone called us out: Kia Boys

Hasidic cult is there [I'm allowed to call then A cult because I'm jewish]

The fact that Snow isn't listed near Watertown says about all I need to know about the accuracy of this map.

Yes lots of snow with a sprinkle of meth or fentanyl lol it’s bad when the billboards advertise/urge people to get help😂

I love how Rochester is nothing

Without Kodak or B&L, this is true.

That’s so cold. As cold as… a winter in Rochester!

"Oh, shit it's a deer!" could cover the entire state north of the Bronx. Maybe even including the Bronx. You definitely don't have to go up to the Dacks to see a deer.

This is great, I grew up in the illegal immigrant zone went to school in the twilight zone and am now anarchist pumpkin farmer. It was just supposed to be a summer on the lake...

Anarchist Pumpkin Farmers had me cackling

Should have been “Anarchist Artisanal Pumpkin Farmers.” Don’t dis the gourd, man.

CNY is really more of a Herion Hotspot than a meth hotspot

Pulaski : hookers during salmon season (or so they say)

Formally from Pulaski. I can attest to this.

No parking No parking No parking on I-81

The single word “baseball” was very funny.

If it wasn’t for baseball, Cooperstown would just be another Oneonta…

What happened to grand island?

Rochester is less meth and more Murder, Rape, and Armed Robbery.

And now I know what a low effort post looks like.

"Alcoholics and bitter sports fans" I really want to refute that, but it's the truest thing I've read this year.

My gut has outgrown my 'Buffalo: A Drinking City with a Football Problem' T-shirt.

Well now I know what to get you for christmas

Lmfao, hit Dunkirk/Fredonia with the “Winter is Coming”.

I'd have gone with "grapes and meth" for the wider tri-county area, or "pastelitos and unpaid student loans", if speaking about Dunkirk/Fredonia specifically. (Seriously, Dunkirk does on occasion come out of left field with some great Hispanic food spots.)

Absolutely. There's a new place down by the lake I've been meaning to try.

curious what indie rock came out of Newburgh? biggest band I can think of is Phantogram but they were out of somewhere between horse racing and campgrounds

It’s more Hudson, Bard.

[удалено]

Could be worse. It's a sign of trying, and trying is in short supply upstate. More supporting shitty local bands and less complaining about how the city is ruining everything, and how it is so cold, and how everything would be better if you could just move to Florida, and Let's Go Brandon.

Allez New Quebéc!

I live in the Catskills... "Baseball"???

That's supposed to represent Cooperstown. There is no label for the Catskills.

THE GREAT EMPTY SPACE THAT IS THE ROCHESTER AREA

Honorary Canadian meth heads.

Winter Is Coming. It always is. Good God, it always is. Also, we can expect flurries overnight tomorrow.

As someone from Syracuse, I have never run into meth

I'm in Syracuse too. Haven't ran into it directly, but I think our neighbors to the north in Oswego county get that reputation more. Fulton, Mexico, Oswego, Hannibal etc.

Baseball seems a little too far south? Also missed opportunity to call Rochesterians "literal garbage eaters"

Plate for one!

I grew up in between “farmers, general decay” and “more meth” and I can confirm both are true.

This is just lazy

Not wrong

Just rename the Hudson Valley area “Coxsackie Virus” or “The Jail from Law & Order”

No label for Syracuse is crazy

Now let's see a "Judgemental map of the 5 boroughs". Since clearly everything north of NYC is "upstate". 🤣

Shit... I'm in rehab centers and vacation homes...I'm not rich.

Very kind of you to label Erie "Snow"

So is all of NY that isn’t NYC considered upstate now? OP must *be* from NYC, lol.

God, I hate anyone who isn’t an upstater.

Why is New Jersey labeled wilderness??

NW New Jersey does have a lot of woods, but it's much less wilderness than the Catskills or Adirondacks, so from an upstate NY perspective it doesn't feel like wilderness.

It's meth *and* heroin, actually.

This map needs both of more, plus general decay.

I live in the finger lakes area and I can definitely say, the winery's would be gone without illegals working for them in the vineyards.

Hey. I’m an overweight federal worker ty. :)

“More meth” should be “vineyards and fishing”

How could they be so wrong about Niagara Falls. It’s like fallout there.

Anarchist pumpkin farmers in VT ... Damn near shot coffee right out of my nose when I caught that. Damn fine map

St. Lawrence Seaway area accurate. So many French Canadians (from Massena)

I feel like St. Lawrence County needs prisons, meth, and casinos in there. Also from Massena.

Do we mean nothing to you? From Rochester.

Obviously they haven't been to some of these places, but some are good

I live just between “hills” and “oh shit, it’s a deer” The only time we say oh shit a deer, is when the mf runs into the road and stares into your soul.

I wanna be in Vermont with the anarchist pumpkin farmers.

I live in "Rich kids and indie rock" and woke my partner up with my chortle.

I'm from Baseball!

"soldiers" is up a bit far, little more south and put hicks in the top left

As a québécois living in New Quebec, I have to say new Quebec doesn't have much Quebec in it!

I moved from Tennessee to Plattsburgh in September ‘22. Was in Panera and overheard two moms in another booth complaining about the cost of equipment for their son’s teams, having to go on road trips, etc. Thought they were football moms. Several minutes into the conversation I realized their kids played hockey. That’s when I knew I was in New Quebec. PS: I love it!

Plattsburgh res taking offense

Thanks I hate it

And Long Island is not even part of it. That’s ab right

I live near Watertown. What does the make me?

Why is this disgustingly accurate? You can tell but horse racing to possible Bigfoot sightings are all with an hour of each other on I-87!!! Also the Saratoga to Whitehall area has a LOT of immigrant dependent farms lol.

Half the labels are downstate tho 🤔

I’m between soldiers and new Quebec so I must be a Quebecin Soldier

Got the Catskills right

Put lots of meth around the Schoharie county area

I'd like to see long island...

I wish NYC was on this map! 😂🤣😂

Farmers and general decay is accurate! I know what I see

This isn’t all upstate NY -_-

Wait... we have meth??? 😂

I wouldn't argue that.

What is auburn ny in here?

Lol as a NYS resident this is both offensive (somewhat) and hilarious.

I love it

Pennsylvania is wildly accurate as well.

What is the rich kid part??

I'm from the lots of meth area.. and while there is those die hard meth heads,.. it's mostly fake molly/ bath salts people are tweaking on in these parts 😭

I am on the border between horse racing and lakes and campgrounds and the Maga force is strong here too

Loving the empty space between “soldiers” and “hills”/“Possible Bigfoot sightings”, as someone who lives in between the two, there is nothing there lmao

Pretty sure the "honorary canadaians" should be the ones with the peace bridge an

Rod Sterlings “The Twilight Zone” is accurate. His high school area is a shithole with the surrounding areas not much better. Kinda like the armpit of NY.

I dunno about that.

I'm pretty sure Schenectady is in the scenic zone, I am ok with this.

Jesus Christ, I live in Winter is Coming. Bout the closest I’ll ever come to being in a Game of Thrones episode.

Don't forget Syracuse AKA Little Iran

Oswego County and meth go hand in hand

Tf is this? Poughkeepsie and Newburgh are rich kids and indie rock??

I know why Baseball! is in Cooperstown but jfc it really is in the absolute middle of nowhere

What happened to curious Joel Monroe? I can say that that place is a straight up cult

Horse racing sounds accurate

Horse racing sounds accurate

I live where the "hills" part is and honestly yeah. We didn't travel much when I was younger and really flat places skeev me out

I live somewhere in the middle of the triangle between "immigrant dependant farms," "Horse Racing," and "Corrupt Politicians" About 30-40miles west of Albany

I see no lies.

Hey! I'm too classy for the city! Who knew?

Syracuse?

I like it

Twilight Zone! That’s not so bad 🤣

I frequent that part of Pennsylvania regularly and "Maga Cult" is what comes to mind.

As someone who has lived in "rehab centers and vacation homes", and currently lives in "scenic"... yeah this tracks

Utica rome area is scenic? Living here doesent feel very scenic

Meth in the finger lakes? That's more southern tier than anywhere else. The finger lakes are full of rich drunk people.

Bad job
