I attended university in Ithaca, NY. That part of New York is just spectacular. The landscape is so beautiful.
Back then, NY State was running its “I <heart> NY” promotion, so I saw that bumper sticker all the time. But then I saw the one bumper sticker that I really agreed with — it read “I love NY too, it’s the New Yorkers that I hate.”
Cornell ran a summer school program for high school students. That program seemed to be mostly kids from Westchester County and Long Island. They were so completely obnoxious, bratty, entitled twerps.
I love central NY, but I’ll never move back there because it’s NY.
