Who here is from NY, NJ or CT?

[NyFirefighter357]

I'm in Putnam County NY, 45 miles North of the NYC line but only 10 miles West of the Danbury CT line.

[PerpetualStudent]

I was raised upstate (45 min from Albany) and I lived in NYC for 4 years. I love upstate but I was very glad when I moved to WI and got to have my shotgun back.

[Pine Baron]

I'm in Toms River, NJ. 6 miles west from Seaside Park. 90 minutes south from Manhattan.

[Ickisrulz]

I grew up near Saratoga Springs. Upstate NY is so pretty. I moved out of the state in 1987 and only went back to visit my parents. They moved out of the state a couple years ago so I have no reason to go back. I couldn't imagine living there after tasting the freedom of other states. Plus the taxes would kill me.

I drive through there on the way home or at least did. The traffic is stupid on 84 now. Last time we tried it we got off just over the CT line and went North to 90. Now we run north to Binghamton then Albany and cross into VT north of there

[lunicy]

Right here.
Right on the Shark River Inlet

[woody290]

I'm in North Central CT near the MA line.

New York Finger Lakes... between Keuka and Seneca is home for me.

You want pretty? Check out a vineyard in the morning sun after an ice storm. Gorgeous barely starts to describe it.

I'm about 40 mins from you. Town of Montgomery in Orange county.

[lavenatti]

I'm in Vernon Township, NJ. Right on the NY border, less than an hour from Montgomery.

Bullet Maker 57 I was up by you last week, stopped by Gander on my way through.

You aren't kidding. You go from doing over the speed limit to well under as soon as you hit the western CT line. And it doesn't clear up until you're well past Hartford.

I'm not from the areas the OP listed but I spend a lot of time working in them.

Anybody else?

[dsbock]

I was born and raised in Manhattan. I've lived in the Albany area since 1987. Currently reside about halfway between the Hudson River and the Massachusetts border.

That's a bit of a drive.

[NyFirefighter357]

I'd do the return trip as well. I was helping a friend with a bread route. Several months through winter up into Catskill through Albany into Saratoga Springs then down through Hudson and came back here down 22. I think it took 10-12hrs.

[Beerd]

all good places to be from ;)
sometimes I think I actually miss it, but the feeling soon passes.

[Vopie]

Heart of the Mohawk Valley, half way between "the penal colony of" Albany and Utica.

[725]

Just west of Syracuse by the water. Relocated to the land of pleasant living for a job.

Callicoon, NY, along the Delaware River, between Port Jervis & Hancock. About 2 hours west of you.
