Ah, there are some tough parts though. It's a very old town btw.
Have you ever seen the NYS Education Building? It's stunning.
The Capitol is pretty unique as State Capitol buildings go.

~Have you been to Saratoga?

I went to SUNY Albany for college. I always liked that city. It's kind of cozy.

Albany but not Utica


Central/Mohawk Valley, but it is still actual upstate.
I think of upstate as anything from about Kingston up, with different regions within.

Connecticut sucks.
The degree to which it sucks is exaggerated though. Steamed hams arent even the best CT food: New Haven pizza is. And there are good breweries basically everywhere, which is great.
The taxes are high, the nature is meh, the drivers are both bad and extremely aggressive, and I-95 from Stamford all the way to New Haven is completely terrible though.

Anything past Westchester is upstate.


Kinda, but I prefer the Kingston designation...which is my own.
But it is just about at the latitude that marks the southern tier which basically lines up with the northern state line of Connecticut.
Plus that is the point where you are leaving the Hudson Highlands...and into the Hudson Valley.

That was my big grip.
But then they said it was invented in the early 50's...and then I was like...Ohh..
I would certainly try one, but I am sure it would be better with a toasted crust.

I meant NYC.
Most people don't even know about Albany.
I was wondering about what region you might be in.

Albany is the capital of New York state, anyone with some basic knowledge of US geography would know that

Not too many even know how to say it.

I think it's fun that the NYS Museum has an installment that was an old rum distillery made by the Dutch in Beverwijck.

The NYS Museum is one of the most fascinating museums I've ever been to and I live in NYC.. I'd love to go again.

It is interesting.
It's been a part of my life, my whole life.
The Mineral collection is my favorite.
But that room with the whale.
That lightning storm room, that has been a thing since the 80's.

I kinda get a get out of the camping installment...as if...this is what camping looks like.

For the full experience, I had a friend, most likely get pickpocketed in the revolving door as we left.
But that was only one trip. I've been there many times.

I actually have some mineral samples that came from their collection.
I do really love that Museum. ~I can hear it now.

Extra points if anyone remembers that underground concourse just across the street.

That or, The Egg.
