Well, moving to NY tomorrow.

[Hayabusa Rider]

Will be off of here for a while since the phone company says it needs to install new equipment to accommodate my DSL account. May be a week or two. Have to turn in the cable box and modem by 6:00 PM tonight, and they load the truck tomorrow. So I have a little bit of time left, but not much.

To all my friends, see ya!
To the inevitable smart asses to follow -

Cool, NY = easily the best state in the country, and you get to root for the Yanks! (what, me biased? ) Where are you moving from?

 

[zimu]

good luck with the move!

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Where in NY are you moving to?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Moving from Quincy, MA to a little town about half hour west of Rochester.

Had a new home built smack in the middle of farm land. Much less hectic, which suits me fine. Safer place to ride the Hayabusa too

 

[pmoa]

small world....my gf and I are from quincy and I lived in Syracuse for about 6 years cause I went to school there for BS and MS good luck!

 

[Gurck]

Sweet, how much acreage? It's my dream to not live within miles of scumbuc.. erm, of ofther people

 

[Atomicus]

[Ogg]

We're really gonna miss you

 

[nitsuj3580]

another Syracuse-an here. Lived there my whole life up until two years ago. Unfortunately, the economy in Syracuse isn't the greatest.

 

[ViRaLRuSh]

Let me guess, one of the ports? Gasport, Lockport?

Half hour WEST of Rochester?

My money says one of the following:
Brockport, Hilton, Hamlin, Scottsville, Caldonia, Mumford, LeRoy, Stafford or... BATAVIA!

I feel for ya man - I grew up in Batavia. Not a hell of a lot to do there. Went to college in Brockport. It's dead out there as far as jobs go, otherwise I'd still be living there. As it is, I'm leaving New York next week for good. It'll be sad, but I am most definitely looking forward to putting this nightmare of a state behind me.

Oh, btw: Welcome to the Highest Property Taxed state in the US.

Post pics of 9 foot high snow when you get a chance this winter.

 

[Riprorin]

Well, being from Massachusetts, at least the ridiculously high taxes here won't shock you!

 

[ViRaLRuSh]

Heh, I went to school in Hilton, but lived in Greece. It's not bad here in Greece.

 

[Megatomic]

Good luck out there. I was born in Canandaigua, NY (a little SE of Rochester) but we only lived there for like 8 years total. My Mom moved us to Va Beach so she could find real work and to get out of the boondocks.

In 2000/2001 we lived near Corning, NY while I did a job for Corning Photonics. I just couldn't handle the rural life. We moved back to Va Beach to save my sanity.

Upstate New York is like the south without the racism.


(yes, I've spent a lot of time there over the course of my life).

 

[FuZoR]

NY sucks. I was born there and I lived there until I was 23. I wouldn't go back there nor would I recommend it to anyone. Winters SUCK!!! Mosquitos SUCK!!! Humidity SUCKS!!!

The lakes are nice though and Autumn is the only time of year that I miss.

I grew up in the Albany area and lived in Rochester for a year.

During my childhood we lived near Chazy Lake. Not far from you. When I was an infant we lived in Moores, NY. Used to go to church in Danamora (as you drive through town on the main road there is the town on one side and a 40' wall with guard towers and barbed wire on the other). I know these places of which you speak!

Edit-My Dad still lives in Malone, NY.

Close! Churchville.

BTW, as Rip said, I am used to taxes. I would like them lower of course, but I went through my kids school and I like it. It's just money guys
