Today I awoke to Phil Matier on the the radio assuring me that
"upstate New York" was "everything north of Manhattan." I knew that
they were thinking of replacing Yankee Stadium, but I didn't know
things had gone *that* far.

At the other end of the scale, some people on alt.culture.ny-upstate claim
you're not really upstate if you can't see the Canadian border from your
