A term used for the region around
Albany, New York, for describing its washed-up, has-been (if it isn'
t actually a never-was, never-will-be) nature and unsuitability as a place to grow up, raise a family or grow old. The trash is whiter than the snow. The guidos/guineas/wops rival those in NYC for inability to be severed from their families. Most whites are actually at least as racist and/or
homophobic as the stereotypical Southern
white. The school districts are overwhelmingly segregated. If I could go back in time, be reborn elsewhere and never live in the Crapital Region, I would make that choice right now. Remember that Albany is an anagram for "by
anal," which is how you take it when you live in the Crapital Region.
