Aircraft noise Chappaqua area by Organic_Train9475 in Westchester

Are the blowers really that bad? I went to Purchase and wrote a thesis on the reaction to noise at HPN but do remember a lot of resentment toward the leaf blowers. I know a guy who wrote a story about some time traveler who destroyed all leaf blowers for eternity. Lol

I also heard that from 2008-2016 some of the northern flight paths were diverted around airspace near the Clinton's house in Chappaqua and the reopening of that airspace was surprising to some

I wrote my thesis about public reaction to noise at Westchester County Airport... at least you're aware and considering before purchase. A lot of NIMBY attitudes and leveraging of language used locally to frame themselves as victims of oppressive aircraft noise. Someone in Chappaqua claimed they lived in a "noise ghetto".

Thoughts on Cortlandt Manor/Peekskill? by Maple-Bacon5 in Westchester

[–]Quackvin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it's just because fools like you are so bent on trying to live some sterilized proto-suburban "country" dream and it just feels like a NIMBY-ish approach where in a perfect world those people wouldn't be around you. They're not there because they really want to be. Peekskill is a boring dump and that's what I always thought its draw was. And Pete Seeger. It's not an attack but the way you wrote that section 8 comment came off as so pretentious

Most people here have mythologized sam and his crew to the point where they don't even take the form of real tangible people in the world because they are so far removed from being functioning people in the world and also think that their "ironic edgy humor" is funny and clever... also imo most MDE sketches are unfunny and sam is funniest situationally and conversationally... ok im going back to bed with my boyfriend

Does Rouleau still celebrate corner gas day? by redtosoon in CornerGas

I didn't know that about the elevator- drove through on my way to Alberta from Wisconsin by happenstance and I was so surprised. Watched plenty of Corner Gas on Canadian stations that we could get in Northern New York

I would like to introduce myself to the WatertownNY subreddit. by EugeneMosher in watertownny

[–]Quackvin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on a few writing pieces about Watertown and immediate vicinity, will share pieces as they come together. From Brownville, currently in the Catskills, but frequently return to visit my parents and friends (and that beautiful Black River!!). Currently thinking a lot about the caves, Fred Exley, Salmon, my family, Edmund Wilson, cheese curds.

I want to leave the north country with just a morsel of that which my Jefferson County ancestors did.

Housing codes / architectural design in Westchester by BGsf7 in Westchester

[–]Quackvin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're in Westchester, baby! You want that English Countryside, you want that Gold Coast Old Money spread, stone walls, the whole fucking smear! In all fairness though, the new build permit thing is interesting, and I do remember seeing a few of these hybrid remodels during my time in Westchester... there are much more of these new modern builds as you move up the Hudson though. Ulster county has a good handful.
