houses constructed 50 plus years ago assumed (when planning storage) that everyone would only have two changes of clothing and that the kids would all be thrilled with sleeping in bunk beds?

They also assumed that one would only need about two electrical outlets in a room too. ;)

Our house is in a village most people considered, during that time, to be an Upstate NY "Little Italy".

There were many Italian immigrants who lived here working in the piano factory, and on the railroad line.

Most of our homes have second kitchens in the basements, but, (heavy sigh) you need to be shorter than 4'10" to move around without clunking yourself in the head on the I-beams.

DOH!!!!

Upstate NY cant be knocked as I come from there too - Pawling in fact - I now live it what is also considered suberban Little Italy (though some people have more colorful names for it too ), five Italian resturants in one little town, Italian bakery, Italian church, and some suspect a few crooked noses too!

city? In Illinois, everything outside of Chicago and the suburban collar counties is downstate. Even Rockford, 40 miles north of Chicago is "downstate."

if you ask the people, or the politicians!!!!

There is also a breakdown by region, Western NY (Buffalo), Central NY (Rochester, where I am),The Adirondacks, etc., but mostly to keep from people asking if we're from NYC, we say Upstate NY.

I wasn't really knocking Upstate NY, just the height of my basement ceilings.
But, this morning as I look out at the snow.....

you have snow already? Jeez, and here I was knocking the windy cold weather we were having here in "southern" NY! I am about two hours from Albany (90 minutes if I drive fast!) Though not close to any one guppy group. Went to the South Jersey guppy meeting for the first time and that was alot of fun, there is the New England guppy club, I went to a show this summer and they were great and friendly too. You know what? Guppy people just rule, simple. Cloe (keep the snow up there! =) )
