I was born and raised in

Jody — 6/15/2007 1:35:08 PM (archived)

Central NYS...a small town called Cortland ( 20,000 people), 30 miles S. of Syracuse.

Terrible winters...but the rest of the year, to me...would be worth it. However there are no jobs up there....

Gorgeous countryside..great fishing, snow skiing...laid back, but run down...and NO Starbucks (EEK)

My best friend and her life partner live up there...

This is my home now.
