Geographic Center of New York State

I LOVE NY!
Not just a commercial statement anymore. Its a common thing you hear across the state and from tourists alike.
What’s not to like? Its the 4^th most populous state but its a big one, so unless you are in Times Square you probably have plenty of breathing room. While NYC is the largest city in the US, and has over 800 languages being spoken at any given time, other cities and towns in NYS are much smaller and much easier to navigate with a car.
Ive lived in NYC and in towns outside of the city and cities across the sate, so Ive had a little of everything. NYC is the home of the UN, has a huge impact on finance and fashion both, and of course has Broadway, setting the tone for theaters worldwide. Nevermind the Opera, Ballet and Museums.
The state was named for the Duke of York (yep, a Brit). We have 4 of the 10 most popular tourist attractions IN THE WORLD. 4. 3 are in the city of course, the 4^th is Niagara Falls, other end of the state. In NYC Grand Central Terminal, Times Square and Central Park are the others. While those of us who lived there took all three for granted, and likely passed through at least one of them (if not all three) weekly, they remain a significant tourist draw.
As the largest point of immigration into the US, NYC has a very diverse population. 800 languages are spoken there.
Ellis island remains a place where people go to see their family name on the wall or in the books. So many immigrants passed through there on their way across the US that over 100 million of us can trace our family roots there.
Did you know NYS had the first state park, which was at Niagara Falls. Also, the Adirondack Park (great for hiking and camping both) is the largest state park in the US, by a very large margin.
So while we have a lot of people, most are in the NYC area, and much of the rest of the state is available for hiking and more by everyone.
Those are just some of the reasons I LOVE NY.
This is the geographic center of the state, near Manilus, NY, right near where Sweet and Gates Roads intersect. I tried to put this review in the Capital, but Unilocal kept moving it to the Capital Building, which this review is not at all about. Its about the whole awesome state.
