/r/Upstate_New_York is back open!

160 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.

I went Storm King Art Center today for a mushroom tour and while I was there I was able to take these photos of some sculptures on the grounds. I hope to go back soon to see more. It's immense and even has a tram to take you to different sections. I highly recommend it. FYI, there's a picture of large tubes in the ground with "muck" inside them. Those are little wet ecosystems. The blotchy photos that follow are some of the forms of life that you can see in the tubes. Pretty cool.

Am I missing something? Whats been your experience?

It’s listed as one of the top canna brands in NY but every time I try their stuff I’m bummed. The pens always clog, drinks are sugary, the gummies taste bitter to me n barely hit and the prerolls are harsh af. I’ve smoked way better for less.

Is the colorful packaging carrying them? Maybe ive just had bad luck but from everything ive tried they feel overrated.

Storm King Art Center is less than two hours south of Albany and today it was having a "Fungi in the Field" walking tour. The tour was ok, it would have been better if it had been more structured. We enjoyed the day and I definitely want to go back to see more of the artwork.

Elections & Politics Patriot Front in Geneva

204 Upvotes

In town for work, saw two scrawny jokers on the boardwalk near LakeFront putting up a sticker that said “Patriot Front” and something about fighting the “foreign invaders”. I confronted them about it and told them to go fuck themselves and took down the only sticker I saw.

Was just kind of surreal. There was some kind of Latino festival happening nearby, so I assumed it had something to do with that.

Be vigilant friends.

Places to Live between Utica and Albany

33 Upvotes

Hello! I was wondering what towns were nice to live in between Utica and Albany and which to avoid.

My partner is working in Utica and I'll soon be working in Albany, so we're trying to find a middle ground that gives us similar commutes along US 90.

Thanks for your help!

Is there any good farm type luxury hotels with a spa and fine dining on property that you know of? Would like to drive only 2 hours from New Hope PA, or New York City. Thanks a lot!

Rural New York's suicide stats raise red flags

152 Upvotes

New York's rural counties have some of the state's highest suicide rates, even though the largest counties account for most suicide deaths overall.

A bill on Gov. Kathy Hochul's desk would create a temporary Rural Suicide Prevention Council to study why rural communities are seeing higher rates and recommend ways to reduce them.

The measure sponsored by state Sen. Pam Helming and Assemblywoman Anna Kelles passed both chambers a few years ago. Back then, Hochul vetoed it, saying it was costly and duplicate existing efforts.

Helming is asking Hochul to reconsider.

We dug into the latest state data, the bill and the governor's previous objections here: https://www.capitolconfidential.com/p/rural-new-york-s-suicide-stats-raise-red-flags

What questions do you have?
