when i was in college everyone from home went nuts over a reference to the batavia meat packers union ordering a bunch of pretzels from margeI never watch the Simpsons, but that is actually pretty clever. However, they sure picked wrong place when they put "Niskayuna" as the symbol of a decaying area on that water tower. Niskayuna is the home of the GE R&D Center which probably employs more PhDs than any place in NY except for major universities.
I'm from Utica
I'm from Utica and I've never heard of Steamed Hams.

Lol. that hit below the belt, I used to work at Kodak in Bldg 53, one of the last to be demoed. I have also posted several images of decaying bridges here in Rochester on Gov Cuomo's Twitter feed. I stopped doing it because it didn't seem to do any good. Upstate NY could be the worst place to live in America if it weren't for great housing prices due at least in part to so many people moving out.
Must be an Albany thing.
And...we keep electing people like Andy.
They showed the Headless Horseman as a sign of a decaying upstate NY? The cheapest single family home on the market in Sleepy Hollow right now is $700K and the town is located in mid-Westchester County.
Otherwise, hilarious and pretty much on point.
And, then, as you say, there is North Tarrytown, which "rebranded" itself as Sleepy Hollow a few years back.
Why do you feel that way?Lol. that hit below the belt, I used to work at Kodak in Bldg 53, one of the last to be demoed.

I don't consider Sleepy Hollow or the Borscht belt to be upstate NY things.
I think they were grasping at straws trying to find things to make fun of. Not their finest moment but at this point, it looks like they are really hurting to find new material.
Maybe Homer needs to jump a shark next?
Hope you got lots of $. No cheap water front on any lake in the state.That's harsh. I haven't been back in 28 years. Always loved CNY and all the surrounding areas. Might be time to come back and find a nice place on a lake.
