I love when people ask me where I'm from and I say New York, and then go on to say something like "I've always wanted to see the Statue of Liberty" or "I would love to see the 9/11 memorial" and then I say "Me too!" and then they say "You live in New York and never seen the Statue of Liberty!". Nope sure haven't there's a whole lotta state not just NYC. I live by Buffalo people we exist too! Its just funny that people forget its a whole state.

ABrokenSoul, Buffalo is to Manhattan as San Diego is to California. Part of the same state, but so far removed from many people's geographic perceptions.

ABrokenSoul, I myself grew up on Staten Island but I now live in Saint Lawrence county near the Canadian boarder. North New York is so under recognized even by other people in the state.

ABrokenSoul, as a non-native of New York I was told that when people say they’re from New York, you should always assume it’s NYC. I don’t know if everyone in New York agrees with that or not, but I’ve heard it more than once.

The description of the subway and transportation system in New York City sounds very complicated.

I think most states have an identity thing going on. People only know of the major cities mentioned on the news. But every state has its small towns scattered everywhere.
