They brought seedlings from way upstate in Albany County, and worked to make it BETTER than it was, and it still is beautiful, and fertile 200 years later. Sure, you will find some industrial pollution in the region, like everywhere else, but the Catskills are still stunning and rival anyplace for scenic and pristine land. I may very well move there some day, or someplace similar, after retirement from my NYC job.

You are pointing the finger of blame at everyone different from yourself, and you are very wrong. Your ignorance is not becoming to a man of your age. If you want to lump everybody together, then you are nothing more than a bigot ?? and reasonable folks will not listen to your ravings.


you are out of your fucking mind, i have been all over upstate ny it is logged and trashed, you probley think those little pecker poles are 1,000 year old trees. you have destroyed all of the deciduous forest on the east coast. albany is a pit, same with binghamton and the catskills are a tourist trap. fuckin city boy!! washitsu means fat taker, which is what all of you are. you rape off all the fat then try to convince us nothing happened, we hear the screams.
