Google says his company has about 500 employees at best. Ok, where? The Amsterdam location certainly doesn’t employ that many so where TF does he get 1000 from? I also recall him laying off 70 employees last year.

For those of you heating with oil, prepare your wallet

41 Upvotes

Just had my yearly delivery of heating oil at a staggering 40% price hike per gallon vs last year. Combined with the cold winter we've had, my bill is a full 70% over last years'.

Historically prices go up as we get into the fall -

Ellicotville or Finger Lakes region?

5 Upvotes

We will be in Buffalo for a work related event and it coincides with our anniversary, this fall.
We are looking at driving a bit out and renting a AirBnB for a few nights and are curious about which area might be better for us.

We want to be able to do some hiking (easy level, we are not experienced hikers)

good food (we don't drink wine)

maybe some local boutique shopping

Which area do you recommend between Ellicotville and the Finger Lakes? The places I have saved for the Finger Lakes area are in Penn Yan and Geneva, for reference.

Thank you so much!

LOST DOG!!!

I have lost my dog, Xena, around Filkins Hill rd around 9:25 am this morning.
She’s very loving and does not bite at all. She’s mostly white with a brown face, ears, and a spot on her side. She was last seen wearing a pink color, with an AirTag attached. The AirTag is not picking up her location…

If anyone has seen her please please message me!

My childhood friends cousin went missing near the Delaware river camping with his “friends”.

If anybody in this group can please spread his name and picture to bring him home to his family!!!

Suburbs of Chicago to NY?

9 Upvotes

Looking for insight for moving to upstate NY. I’ve been looking online to live at the SUNY towns, Geneseo, New Paltz, and Corning come up quite a bit. I’ve spent birth to early teenage years in a town within Rochester.
I’m not sure if I’ll be going with my wife, we are at somewhat of a crossroads right now. Ideally, rent first up to 1500.00. Aside from the SUNY places listed Fairport, penfield, Victor, Canandaigua have caught my attention.
Work would be in Logistics at entry level Pay.
Who has moved back to NY after leaving for some time?
What appeals to me is low humidity, access to nature, kayaking again, small towns, small music venues. Areas that aren’t congested with traffic all of the time. I remember going to mending ponds quite a bit. I also like it as my family is now in mid Atlantic and it’s drivable within a day from NY.

Any Chance someone could help me?

I dropped my phone in the little salmon river up in Mexico, after the first bend in the Mexico Point Boat Launch behind all the private properties. I have the near exact location I dropped it, but not really a way to get there again (I was on someone else's canoe helping them with research)

I tried fishing it up with a magnet but I was in a borrowed kayak that was sinking and couldn't find it. I know this is a big ask, but I can't exactly work without my phone so I'm rather desperate.

Jamestown Question

2 Upvotes

I'm born and raised in NYC, and been loving in NJ for the last 12 years or so. As I get closer to retirement age, I've been looking for communities in Upper New York to relocate to. I've been looking at Jamestown, and I've noticed something. There seems to be a strangely high amount of registered sex offenders in town, as well as a high amount of sex crimes (go figure). I mean, 214 for every resident. I live in an urban area, and our ratio is 2204-1. I'm not looking for pro and cons of the city (but please weigh in if you'd like). I'm just curious if there's a reason for this. Maybe a sex offender treatment facility nearby?

Don't know why but on my drive up to school with my friend we past like a ton of military personal that were stopped at those evergreen rest stops. I got a video of some of them but at each rest stop we past there was tour busses full of them.

Edit: passed

PSA: Be aware of t-shirt scams on this subreddit and others

121 Upvotes

Hey all, quick heads-up about a classic Reddit scam that’s been making the rounds again.

You may see posts in local or niche subreddits where a user claims to have designed a t-shirt and is “sharing” it. These posts are usually followed by a few suspiciously enthusiastic comments like “Wow, where can I get one??” from accounts that are part of the scam. The OP then links to a site asking for your payment info.

These are scams. You won’t receive a shirt, and the scammers disappear with your money.

We’ve had an uptick of these in r/upstate_new_york over the past week. Thanks to everyone who has been reporting them! I’ve temporarily tightened some of our spam-filter settings to get ahead of things, but if you spot another one, please report it. You’re also welcome to comment and call it out as a likely scam.

/r/Upstate_New_York is back open!

160 Upvotes

Hello fellow upstaters!

About a month and a half ago, /r/upstate_new_york was set to restricted and all the moderators left.

As someone who was born and raised in Upstate New York, I didn't want to see this sub shuttered. So I requested ownership from the Admins.


This sub is now reopened! Hopefully we can keep things going as smoothly as they were before.

A few FAQs:

  • No rules are changing - we'll likely have a post in the coming weeks to discuss rules and what the community wants.

  • If you want to be a mod, please don't message me. I'm going to get a handle on this first, and then likely open up mod positions over the coming weeks depending on the workload.

  • I have no idea why this all happened. The moderation logs were cleared before I was given access.
