What is Plattsburgh?
1.
let's just say that without the college, there wouldn't be a city. the winters are long, freezing and full of parking bans. the city cops pretend like they are nypd. they pull over everyone and anyone and treat them like they are some kind of drug dealer wanted in 20 states...i mean after all, they were going 33 in a 30. The summer brings out all the local townies and farmers, and they dress for the occasion! They all head down to the super walmart for some fun.
If you must go to Plattsburgh, bring a camera..you may be lucky enough to see Champ, the sea monster of Lake Champlain..dun dun duuuun!

A wonderful little town in picturesque northern NY. In the late 70s to early 80s known as the number one place to find the first exploded USSR nuclear warhead. Plattsburgh is now, as then, known to be a very safe and pleasant town. Bordered on the east by the sixth great lake, Lake Champlain, and on the west and south by the Adirondack mountains, Plattsburgh boasts both water sports and skiing within the range of a motorcycle's reserve fuel. All in all, a great city to raise a family.
"I pine for the days when a 10 year old kid could ride his bike to school without the fear of someone kidnapping him. Those days are gone."
"Dude, that still exists in Plattsburgh."

A town in extreme upstate New York that is pretty much the only place for activity in that whole area. Very cold in the winter.
I went up north towards Quebec; all of interest along the way was in the city of Plattsburgh.
