NY Roll Call

[333]

Peace,

Would not trade the Adirondacks for anything, well maybe, a chalet in south of France or Amsterdam but I do not see that ever happening so......New York represent.

LOL I had thought that when I was type the other day, seeing how it is a NY related topic, I wondered if I would get ribbed for it.

The streets are so clean in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, ahhh, what a positively beautiful city.


Alas I am here about 30 minutes west north from Amsterdam NY, and the snow is still here to, the piles are 3-4 feet high, and some of the drifts down by my creek are 4-5 foot deep, but the overall coverage is down to less than 2 feet.

I'm in Rochester, at least till Mr. 8k loses his job/retires from Kodak. We have been here 30 years, but are from other places.

I am over by Syracuse area...Is this all the folks from upstate NY???

Hay New Yorkers!
I was born and raised in Western NY. I think of it as that sweet spot between Rochester, Niagara Falls and Buffalo, sandwiched between lake effect snow and uncontrolable slide down the black ice hill into the gaurd rail of Erie Canal.
I had a really crumby winter about 7.5 years ago and I packed up a rental truck and hauled it all down south, Florida.
I may be bias in saying that NY is the most beautiful state with thier waterfalls, fields, caves, lakes, and mountains.
Now I am feeling nostalgic.

New to the site and getting settled in to my new (6 months) place. Small ranch home on 20 acres surrounded by fields and woods. Love it. I'm about 30 miles south of Rochester. Commute there for work.

I'm another one here in NY. At least for now. I have a business and several properties here. The taxes are sucking the life out of me. Trying to sell. Have an off grid cabin in the Tug Hill region about 20 miles north of Syracuse. I will most likely keep it even if I move out of state. Have looked at a number of places. Heading out to New Mexico to look at some property this spring. Have looked at the Carolinas, Nova Scotia and a few other places. Trying to find more sunshine, lower taxes and open space. New York does have many positives but the governement here is a mess and the state is all but bankrupt. We are already one of the most heavily taxed states and I don't see it getting better. In fact we expect a double digit increase in school taxes this year.

Hello from Columbia County NY. No homestead yet really, just learning how unprepared I am and working on fixing it!

Thanks to all of you for the multitude of advice and ideas I've been able to get off of this site!

Thanks;
