    A petition to bring routes back to Stewart International Airport in Newburgh is gaining the attention of many New Yorkers. Eric Planey dreams of a day when he can avoid the long drive to Newark or JFK in order to catch a plane to Chicago, and apparently, he's not alone. The Hudson Valley man has formed a petition at Change.org a few days ago and has already gained almost 600 signatures from others who are frustrated about the lack of flights from Newburgh.

    Do you live in New York or Upstate New York? We finally have a definitive answer thanks to Governor Kathy Hochul. It's a debate that has been raging on in the Hudson Valley for decades. For some reason, residents don't like their homeland to be referred to as "Upstate New York". I'm not sure if it's the stigma of being considered a country bumpkin or a secret desire to be connected to New York City, but if you tell someone from the Hudson Valley that they live upstate, you're in for an earfull.
