You Know You're From Upstate New York When...

You refer to downtown Albany as "The City." "Vacation" means going to Lake Ontario or Niagra for the weekend. There is a mini-mall every 1/4 mile, if not, you are in Vermont. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the Hannaford at any given time. You know to avoid tractor trailers (or cars for that matter!) on the Northway with Canadian plates. You don't consider what Domino's or Pizza Hut sell as pizza. You know that "First Night" isn't a Sean Connery movie. There is no such thing as waiting for the left turn arrow at an intersection. Your career ambition is to work for NY State. Even with the slightest threat of snow, you know that Ichobob Crane schools are closed. You think everyone from down-state has an accent. Down-State starts just south of the Thruway. You're in line to get the first custard cone when summer comes. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Upstate NY.
