I live in a small town, like 4000 peeps

There are 7 high school kids out on the corner shouting out for Bernie Sanders, waving signs and engaging people.

"OUR future, our choice!" "Feel the Bern!"

And anyone who reacts at all gets "We love you! Please vote."

So positive. So beautiful to see.

There is a big call center here and a victory party at 8pm. I have never seen this town more into a candidate.

I always used it to define the upper part of the state (Adirondacks/Watertown/Plattsburgh, etc.) and other people use it to define my area (Western New York). Do you know? It's a puzzler!

I live on the eastern side of the state, near Saratoga Springs. I have only lived in NY for 25 years so I'm probably the wrong person to ask.

Enjoy your party! I travel all over NY and spend a lot of time out your way. Needed to be home this week and working locally.

So let's see:
Southern Tier
Central Leatherstocking region
Capital District
Adirondacks
Niagara region?
Hudson Valley

I dunno. I could look it up but I'm lazy.

Edited to add the Hudson Valley.
