Glenn, I'm not quite sure how Keeseville got into this, but, no - definitely not! The area from Lake Champlain to the St. Lawrence county line would be a defininition of "Northern New York". Naturally, the Adirondack (northern) area would be a part. Upstate is a term use by people in New York City - always has been. To them, the Catskills are the country and in "days of yore" they knew nothing of the area beyond that. When I was a boy, in Dannemora, Saturday Evening Post Magazine did an article about the prison there and referred to the area as "Little Siberia". The point I was trying to make, was this; When you see "Upstate New York" in an article, think of this relationship: Upstate---a New York City terminology___ Northern - a resident's terminology. That's all.

Thanks You, Glenn LaRocque

Mac, I live in St. Law. Co. and we consider anything north of Syacuse as heading into Northern New York.
