An urban center in "upstate" New York that contains nothing but a large prison with a statue of a naked man in front of it, a few dive bars, projects, crackhouses, and a purple-obsessed college that tries to pretend its not located in the middle of a ghetto. Elmira attempts to hide its horridness behind the fact that Mark Twain wrote a few books on the outskirts of this godforsaken place. However, those who live in Elmira always live by the wise words of the revered white haired author - "Sometimes too much drink is barely enough."
If you are traveling to the city of Elmira, be sure to bring your pepper spray.

There are no rainbows OR puppies in Elmira!
