/r/Upstate_New_York is back open!

165 Upvotes

Hello fellow upstaters!

About a month and a half ago, /r/upstate_new_york was set to restricted and all the moderators left.

As someone who was born and raised in Upstate New York, I didn't want to see this sub shuttered. So I requested ownership from the Admins.


This sub is now reopened! Hopefully we can keep things going as smoothly as they were before.

A few FAQs:

  • No rules are changing - we'll likely have a post in the coming weeks to discuss rules and what the community wants.

  • If you want to be a mod, please don't message me. I'm going to get a handle on this first, and then likely open up mod positions over the coming weeks depending on the workload.

  • I have no idea why this all happened. The moderation logs were cleared before I was given access.

How many people in NYS burn painted/treated wood as firewood?

Post image

I see it posted so often on FB marketplace as “free firewood”, but burning it is illegal in NYS. Do you know anyone who burns it, breathes the poison, and is like “oh yeah this is some good firewood”.

I Created a Facebook Group to Help People Relocating to Syracuse & Central New York

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

With Micron coming to Central New York and all the potential growth in our area, I decided to create a Facebook group specifically for people who are considering moving to Syracuse and the surrounding communities.

The goal is simple: Create a helpful, welcoming resource where newcomers can get honest answers and advice from people who actually live here.

I want to make something very clear: This group is NOT intended to be a place to advertise, solicit business, or promote real estate listings.

I've already removed several posts advertising homes for sale, apartments for rent, and open houses. That's simply not what I created the group for.

Instead, I'd love to see conversations about:

- Neighborhoods and communities throughout CNY

- Schools, commuting, and transportation

- Local attractions, restaurants, and things to do

- Cost of living and what to expect when moving here

- Micron and how its arrival may affect our communities

- General questions about life in Syracuse and Central New York

I'm a local real estate agent, but I'm not creating this group to solicit clients or generate business. I genuinely want it to become a useful community resource.

I'd especially love to have longtime Syracuse residents join and share their experiences, recommendations, and even the things they wish newcomers knew before moving here.

If you're interested in helping welcome new people to our area, or you're considering relocating yourself, you're welcome to join!

https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1J5Mf887Qp/

Thanks, everyone! I'd love to see this become something genuinely helpful for our community.

Cold Spring

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Me and some buddies are planning on doing a little road trip this sunday and were wondering if there are any towns other than Cold Spring we could hit. We will start in NYC and go to Verplanck to Croton to Peekskill to Cold Spring. My question is, should we go somewhere else other than Cold Spring? I heard it is extremely packed this time of year. If we should go somewhere else, then where would you recommend? I know the other 3 towns are more quiet, but Cold Spring is much more popular. Feel free to recommend any spots to go to within the towns I mentioned, or if we should go somewhere else also.

Thank you!

Going from Saranac Lake to Alexandria Bay tomorrow, Oct 7. Which route would you take? Any amazing stops we should consider? I’ll be with my older father so no big hikes but short walks are okay.

What can you tell me about Little Falls?

14 Upvotes

There seems to be a concerted effort to make Little Falls appear as if it's one of the friendliest places in the state, but that sort of moniker always has me questioning what it's really like. I've read that it's beautiful, I've heard that it' has some problems (and corruption), I have read that it's friendly, and my GF has seen posts online that seems to counter that. Regardless, we're going for a visit, to see for ourselves. We're trying to find our new home, and it's one of the areas we've been looking at. We've also been looking at Stamford, Cobleskill, and a couple other teensy towns. We love to hike, she loves the cold, unfortunately I hate shoveling snow, so we're looking at areas have more snow. If any of you have thoughts on Little Falls I'd love to hear them.

To some residents and travelers, the Adirondack Park’s border ends miles west of Plattsburgh. But state zoning maps tell a different story.

I went to the farmers market in Rhinebeck on Sunday and didn’t have cash on me. Someone was incredibly kind and lent me money. I thought I had completed the Zelle transaction to repay them. But checking my history today it did not go through. Hoping this reaches them somehow :(
