I think what you are referring to is the what we here call chicken sh#t. You need to remember, the wonderful place you live is or once was one of the largest poultry producing counties in the US. Intern you have quite a bit of chicken crap. Every year that is what the farmers use to fertilize their fields. Almost all of the area surrounding the area you are talking about is still an active farm or was in the past. Not to mention that there has been quit a bit of livestock there too. I know for fact that one particular farm experimented with treated human waste as fertilizer. Not sure if they still do. Next time you get a chance, drive down 218 in the spring!........

We're in the same situation as Florida_Sassy and will be relocating to the Waxhaw area in a couple of months with our three little children. I've some concerns regarding the WTP but I think these have been quite answered in many forums. My main concern now is the Shooting Range adjacent to Anklin Forest subdivision since we're about to close on a house there and just found out about them in our most recent visit last month and I'm very hesitant about even though my husband is convinced it's not a big deal.

Can anybody give some honest advise about this subdivision and the issues/noise with the Gun Club being so close by. Looking forward for some answers.

Thank you!

IMHO there are 3 definitions of a "New Yorker":

1) lives in one of the five (5) boroughs. More or less is part of the culture of "New York".

2) Lives on Long Island and calls himself "from New York". (ie: defines where he comes from but does not necessarily fit the life style of a "New Yorker"

3) Upstate NY. Comes from NY but in no way fits into #1 or #2 above.

Both 1 and 2 would have quite a few sub categories... Like if you lived in Jamaica Queens vs. the Upper East Side of Manhattan for #1... or if you lived in Suffolk v. Nassau for #2.

and speaking of smells in this thread... drive through Staten Island on a hot August day... that's technically as much #1 as any borough.

so in the end I think you need to just say it's either "Upstate" or "Downstate" NY.

Who is more trustworthy: a New Yorker with the NY accent, or one without the accent?
