Rockland 

rockland is not really upstate, just across the tapan zee bridge. it is a very ugly county, with really no substance at all. rockland is not ANYWHERE close to being like westchester. the only reason people live there is because it is cheaper than westchester, and they cannot afford it. there is no train to the city, so it is not part of the real new york, which includes westchester and long island.

rockland county pretty much sucks

Fuck you people! You voted for Bush!

Rockland is a red county.

Rockland 

Not quite the city, not quite Westchester, not quite Jersey, not quite Upstate. In short, a big nothing.

Wow, you're pretty good at playing that keyboard. Wait a second...you're not playing it at all. In fact, that's a pre-programmed tune. You're a phony! A big phony! Hey everyone, look! It's a big fat phony! You know who lives here? A phony! A big fat phony!

Rockland 

A county that people are ashamed of being from, just don't realize it. Deep down everyone in Rockland knows they live on the outskirts of the NY metro area and certainly not in the heart of "New Yawk".

If you're from Rockland and the next county up is Upstate, just imagine what people in Manhattan probably think of Rockland.

Rockland 

A bastardized version of Westchester. Very ugly county, rather uncool place to hail from. Hates being called 'Upstate New York' even though it is.

Anything north of lower westchester is upstate if your from Eastchester.

Rockland 

County that technically falls within the NY metro area yet few people in the NYC boros or the prime suburbs (Westchester/LI) really know where it is or what it is like. For that matter, few people even really care. Besides Nyack, there is really nothing to write home about in Rockland at all, a quality shared with the neighboring state of New Jersey. Unlike its big brother across the Hudson, Westchester, it really has no "range" at all, just a collection of nondescript suburbs, whereas Westchester is urban, rural, and everything in between. Rockland unlike the other suburbs has no history with NYC at all.

What a bourgeois place to live
