Lulz, I grew up there. If it was the 80's, they would be spot on. The city is pretty damn nice now though.

And yeah, it's not upstate.

Not New Jersey.

Lindsey Lohan's vagina is making public statements now?

Yes because 6 people out of 22000 plus complaining should be news worthy...

I went to Jr High and High School outside of Plattsburgh.

The sky over that hellhole is overcast about 9 months of the year.

The mayor got SIX email complaints!

How timely and newsworthy.

Close2TheEdge: Is there nobody, NOBODY on this planet that can't take a joke anymore?

You take that back, I am not a nobody, by your assertion you have lumped us all in with those that can't take a joke, and those people that can't take a joke, shouldn't be forced to take a joke, by you, or any of your kind!

(isn't it amazing how the people that complain about being singled out are quick to single out the other guy?)

FTFA:"Peekskill has refashioned itself into an artistic community, as well as a fine-dining and cultural destination"

Read this:"Hipster douchebags encouraged to buy our cheap, rundown buildings and flip them for a small profit."

NY=crud
Upstate NY= crud with some marketing.

WHat's the culinary delight of ROchester?
Oh, yeah. The Garbage plate.

They should apologize to the people of Peekskill. After all, it is a very historic city. The Fact Of Life was based here!"

FTFY

HotWingConspiracy: And yeah, it's not upstate.

The joke is that anything beyond the Tee Zee bridge from NYC is "upstate." Why, I remember a joke on Sex and The City where Carrie was calling from the (newly created) 845 area code and they called that upstate; which pleased me to no end. Mostly because people in the suburbs and exurbs of NY have pride in how close they are to the city so it's nice to take them down a peg.


/Seriously, 914 area code might was well be the Canada side of Niagra.
//Grew up in the 914 that became the 845

What's a SNL?

Didn't SNL already call Scranton, PA "a hell hole" and "the absolute worst place on earth"?

Nice 'new' and 'original' material from SNL. That's why it's sooooo much funnier than in the days of Martin, Ackroyd and Belushi.

The real news here is that people still watch SNL.

Uhh, we object to the term "urine-soaked hellhole" when you could of said, "pee-pee-soaked heckhole."

vudukungfu: FTFA:"Peekskill has refashioned itself into an artistic community, as well as a fine-dining and cultural destination"

Actually in this case the city hired developers to fix up all the old buildings, but they would only rent them to hipster douchebags, because they wanted to build an artists community.

It actually worked.

schattenteufel: The real news here is that people still watch SNL.

Only the yokels in Peekskill and Poughkeepsie.


/you know, these lands were settled by the dUtch

Spumis8: The mayor got SIX email complaints!

Hey, the SNL crew is just thrilled to know they have that kind of following these days.

Don't fark with the 716

What else you gonna do in a hellhole

Just knowing Peekskill is full of so many people without a sense of humor makes me not want to visit there. I was under the assumption, thanks to Mr. Belvedere and The Hogans (Not hulk) that Peekskill is where college kids in the 80s went to go skiing on break.

Yeaaaah, that old gag.

Wow, that skit is terrible. Really terrible. The worst ever. SNL sucks.

It's better in a hellhole
You know where you stand in a hellhole
Folks lend a hand in a hellhole
Girl, get me back to my hellhole

999thacct: Don't fark with the 716

It's part of the artic circle; I have absolutely no intention of farking with it!!!


/Do you still have snow?

HotWingConspiracy: Yeaaaah, that old gag.

Indeed. Most people just don't like the innuendo.

/And that's what I always say, love flies out the door when money comes in your window...
_{//You gotta say it out loud for it to work.
///Alright, it never worked.}

MDGeist: Yes because 6 people out of 22000 plus complaining should be news worthy...

To be fair, that's probably the entire audience for SNL in the city.

I literally LOL'd.

I resent that.

Now THAT was funny.

It never really bothered me, I'm just always confused by people that treat north Westchester like it's the wilderness. They'll drive for an hour to get to Long Island but the thought of going north on the Taconic for half an hour is too much to handle.

mekkab: Indeed. Most people just don't like the innuendo.


My wife doesn't like it. We tried it a couple times, but it feels uncomfortable to her.

There are far worse places than Peekskill or Platsburg (by the way the offical line of upstate and downstate is Poughkeepsie). Those are just college towns for the offspring of NY city metro area's kids. The really depressing places are Utica, Schenectady, and Rochester.

People from NYC tend to have a very provincial attitude.

Everything I knew about Peekskill New York I knew from watching "The Facts of Life."

Now I know that people there eat rocks. Thank you, article!

tommyl66: Uhh, we object to the term "urine-soaked hellhole" when you could of said, "pee-pee-soaked heckhole."

Cheerfully withdrawn.

Really? 845er here, and I wish I lived even further away from the city. I think Manhattan & Brooklyn types are some of the most small-minded people on the planet.

dittybopper: mekkab: Indeed. Most people just don't like the innuendo.

Then you should consider upgrading from your Volkswagon Rabbit to a larger car.

/TMYK!

Marshmallow Jones: I think Manhattan & Brooklyn types are some of the most small-minded people on the planet.

Especially since they are originally from CT or OH and moved there just out of college...


/but if memory serves correct, 845 >> 201. Am I right, or am I right?!

I was thinking of going with a better lube, but whatever.

They should apologize to the people of Peekskill. After all, it is a very historic city.

Not just historic...VERY historic.

What does that even mean? Every city has history. Who the fark cares? It's no excuse for a city to be a shiathole now.

dittybopper: I was thinking of going with a better lube, but whatever.

It discolors the upholstery.

SpaceBiscuit: What's a SNL?

Came here to say that. I think it's some political opinion shaping forum or something.

mekkab: dittybopper: I was thinking of going with a better lube, but whatever.

So does my wife!

Ba-DUM-CHHHhhhhhhhh

mekkab:

Worst are the college kids from the 'burbs who move to the City - suddenly they're not 'from' NJ or upstate NY, they 'have family' who live there.

Hasn't Al Qaeda destroyed NY yet? Hurry please.
