I spent 15 years upstate after being born in White Plains. Most people upstate thought at the time that that was SOP for NYC.
Fair enough, but as someone who grew up in NYC (I moved to LI in my 30’s after my first 2 kids were born) I can assure you that the opinions of upstaters about city people is often as inaccurate as those that city folk hold of people Upstate. Any the perpetuation of the Kitty Genovese myth only serves to reinforce those often false stereotypes.
