For some period of time - weeks, months, maybe a couple of years - you were all about that life of loud music, drunken bar fights and 3 a.m. If the rocks were taken, the judges will allow you eating on your car.ġ3. Eating at the tables or while standing up was unacceptable. When you went to Hoyer’s, it was either eat on the rocks, or GTFO. And Annie’s… Like, seriously, why did they get rid of that place?ġ2. You don’t where it went, or why, but you still feel like there’s a piece of your childhood missing that you will never get back.ġ1. You’ve had, or have been to, a birthday party at Hi-Tor Lanes, and it was the time of your life. I went to college in Westchester and some people thought that my commute from Rockland was like a cross-country tour.ĩ. Meanwhile, some Westchester people think you live sooo far away. If you don’t want to deal with the traffic, tolls, or outrageous prices, White Plains is the next-best (and often most decided upon) option.Ĩ. You think of White Plains as “the other” New York City. The patience and skill level required? Absolutely.ħ.
Parking at the Palisades Mall during a holiday should be declared an official sport. On the same note, you still refer to the Palisades Mall - which was built in 1997 - as “the new mall.” Would you call The Backstreet Boys a “new” band?Ħ.
Even though it is technically not a mall, and it is newer than the Palisades, you still refer to The Shops at Nanuet as “the old mall.” You also never think to go there for anything.ĥ. Any time you see a sports movie about a small town (Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, etc.) you realize just how much Rockland has in common with them.Ĥ. Everyone knows everything about everyone, and you’re always cautiously aware of that like a paranoid crackhead. Other answers may include, but are not limited to: “Oh, like an hour outside of New York City,” “Have you heard of (insert high school here)? Near there,” or “You know Westchester? Near there.”ģ. When people from out of town ask where you’re from, you usually just say, “Rockland,” because you assume nobody has heard of where you’re actually from. Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester and Buffalo are upstate.Ģ. Just because you live in New York City and you have to go north to get here doesn’t mean we are “upstate” by any means. The Hudson Valley is one of the south-most parts of the state.
