Appalachian Spring
The Times beat me to the punch today on noting that Appalachia actually runs through New York State.
But the DMI blog also notes that while Governor Pataki said the other day (as the Spitzer remark slipped through GOP fingers) that Appalachia "doesn’t have Empire Zones," of course West Virginia et al. have tax incentive programs.
Such effective ones, in fact, that The Politicker is relocating its headquarters to Eastern Kentucky.
(The Walker Evans shot is for Bill Weld, who likes to cite the photographer’s vision of the Appalachia of "rickets and missing teeth" as what New York State is not.)
Now the missing teeth is a result of them melting thanks to crystal meth....
Oh, I thought that was Buffalo. At least, that’s how I remember it looking in ’95.
And where exactly is (was) Decker College?
I don’t know - just asking.
More comments from the Spitzer anger factory...
au contraire, 1:04. Im from WNY, and i actually agree with/applaud Spitzer. Donwstaters dont’ like to admit it, but the rest of the state is way worse off than they acknowledge

WNY huh? So do you have rickets and four teeth? Were you raised in a shanty?
well -- the rickets cleared up after I moved to NYC and got me some of that new fangled pasturized city milk. And sun. Maybe you’ve never been to Buffalo, but let me tell you, sun is in short supply. For the teeth, I use the erasers from pencils as stand-ins. Thanks for asking!
Oddly enough, New York State has 14 counties formally identified as within the Appalachian Region. ("Formally" meaning that these 14 counties may receive grants from the federal Appalachian Regional Commission’s Highway Program and the Area Development Program.) See: www.arc.gov
he is right. WNY is bleeding jobs, youth and hope.
Per capita crime and child poverty rates in cities like Rochester make NYC seem like Iowa. The Incest capital of the country can be found not in WVA, but in cortland, NY. Erie county is in the midst of an economic crisis - closing parks, libraries and limiting basic city services.
Its time that someone does something about it.
Anon 2:14 pm -- do you have any supporting information behind your claim that Cortland County is the "incest capital of the country"??
Thank God its not Yates County anymore.

I've managed to save up roughly $30878 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
