Upstate

1) An area north of the suburbs of the largest city in a state in which the city is at the southern end of the state; used especially in New York State. In NY many people take it to offense to have their hometown labelled "upstate."
2) The northern end of a state, used mainly in states where the more urbanized area is to the north, like Illinois or Delaware.

Chicago is in upstate Illinois.

Anything outside of the city, Long Island is technically "upstate" too, at least according to people in the city like Brooklynguy. People in the city are such snobs.

I guess I live upstate then.
