I thought Rochester was about 2-3 hours away from St. John's.Okay, geography major, it's 350+ miles from Queens to Rochester, a 6 hour drive. Dated a girl from there in college. By the time the TEN hour train ride was over I decided I did not want to date the girl anymore. No one should ever go to Rochester for any reason ever. Might be the ugliest city in America if not the world!

It is actually about 2 hrs away from Rochester.He is not lying - that is one ugly city. My brother went to RIT..the whole city looks like orange bricks.

I'm not kidding I have no clue about "upstate" New York. Yes its slightly sad than most Americans are terrible at geography and I am completely dependent on my GPS but its true. I've never been to up up up upstate NY. I must have mistaken Rochester with another chester of NY. I could have sworn it was closer.

What a small world.Also the guys over at http://bonabandwagon.proboards.com have taken notice to our thread here. I'm not sure what they think about our matchup.

Westchester maybe?Let's not get into a "is Westchester upstate" debate because it is NOT!I know, just playing with Dave's geographical challenges and his something-chester comment. Though I always felt that once you got past Westchester you were upstate.
I'm very geographically challenged.
Quote from: Dave on November 17, 2009, 02:31:04 PMI'm very geographically challenged.In that case, and since you are a South Jersey guy, I just want to clarify something for you.Westchester is not the same as West Chester.I would not want you to take a road trip and end up in the wrong state!

We get pretty serious about that around here. South Jersey might as well be Pennsylvania it gets a little weird and slow out there.
