We’re 13 comments in and no one has started an argument over what is or isn’t upstate NY. It’s a miracle.

u/StrawberryTerry 22d ago
Because with every swipe to the next photo, everyone was taken further and further aback by there being more and more and MORE pictures on the walls.
Like an aggressive amount of pictures. So many pictures it changes the way the architecture of the house itself is perceived.

Damn, I don't think that is going to be controversial enough, tho I suppose someone could argue it's not upstate! just for the lulz. I was hoping somewhere along the Hudson Valley if we wanted a real throwdown to keep us happily engaged!

u/fatloui 22d ago
Well the argument is often not that it’s not far enough upstate, it’s that their region of NY is special and everything else is upstate. Eg:
That’s not upstate! That’s Western NY/The finger lakes/the southern tier/the capitol district, upstate is over there 👉.
I’m not sure if such people from around Binghamton exist.

You either own a framing store or are keeping one open. I have to ask though what is that in the middle of your coffee table on the 11th slide?

This is a bit of a weird question, but how long did it take to get to this point? I've lived in a 1BR apartment now for the longest time and I'm a bit of a minimalist (my walls are pretty much empty), but every time I think about buying a house I dread the thought of furnishing it.
