A suburban county north of NYC. It's no more upstate then Westchester yet people feel the need to bash it as a "wasteland" near Albany in a futile attempt to make their own hometown feel important. Unlike surrounding areas, the people of Rockland are not arrogant and condescending.
I can hop on the Palisades and get to Midtown in 30 minutes from Orangetown, a lot closer than many of you Rockland-bashers from Westchester and LI.

Get the rockland mug.A suburban town where everyone knows everyone. Full of gossipy moms that don't have anything else to do. With a bunch of white skaters who claim that they are "ghetto" and live a hard life. Overall, boring town so people entertain themselves by spreading gossip.
"OMG. So did you hear?"
"Yes i did! I think all of Rocklin knows now!"
"Well lets go to the skatepark and let everyone else know!"

Get the Rocklin mug.Related Words
All of these people who call Rockland "upstate nowheresville" and Westchester "hip and bustling" downstate have obviously never been to Rockland. They have just driven through it on the NYS Thruway and pass it off as something it really isn't without actually seeing it. It's culturally no different from the other suburbs, and its no farther away from NYC, so stop badmouthing before you've actually seen it. In addition, Rockland's median household income in 2003 was higher than that of Westchester, Nassau, or Suffolk (7th in the nation), so calling it 2nd class is wrong.
"Hmm let's see I live in Tarrytown, which is in awesome downstate NY. But that Nyack place which is 3 miles due west from here and the same distance from NYC as me is wayyyy upstate. I think it's right next to Canada"

Get the Rocklin mug.Blue collar town just south of Boston. Working class with big emphasis on high school sports. Mostly Brazilians, Irish, Cape Verdeans etc. and lots of transplants from Dorchester. If you grew up sheltered you might think it’s not the hood, but if you grew up around Spring Gates, Copley Gardens, or Church St/Park St area etc you know what’s really going on out here. It’s a great place to live if you’re used to urban environments. The other definition writers clearly never left their mommy’s porch in Milbrook.
Rockland, MA is an old blue collar abandoned industrial town with triple decker apartment buildings and all the problems of the city, but the sheltered uppity kids want it to be Hingham. It will never be Hingham...Which is a good thing, because the people who build your Milbrook house and make your stupid fancy coffee need affordable places to live. Don’t sugar coat it.
