Sullivan County

the place in new york state that hosts the migration of the hasidics every summer. during the summer, driving is h-ll, there’s nothing to do, and there is summer camp activity everywhere. every other season the only thing to do is cruise wal-mart and go to school to make deals. everyone’s either pregnant, slow, in jail, or smells like bad soup
dude 1: what’s up with this traffic! it came out of nowhere!
dude2: yeah, it’s sullivan county!
one of the absolute sh-ttiest areas of nh, no questions asked. miles upon miles of tiny, go-nowhere towns in the middle of f-cking nowhere, row upon row of trailer parks and absurdly run-down houses (most of them with rusted car parts and appliances dotting the yards), sh-tty general stores, pizza parlors, and ice cream stands dotting the land, gun shops in every town, and tourist trap gift shops littering the more populated areas. meth and heroin are big in the area, alcoholism is rampant, and there have been a fair amount of confirmed incest cases in quite a few of the towns. even the more populated areas are still pretty seedy, with newport holding little more than a strip mall, a few convenience stores, and other -ssorted unsuccessful businesses. when the biggest draw of a town is a f-cking ocean state job lots outlet, you know there’s a problem. claremont is much the same, just larger, while sunapee is populated by rich out-of-staters in the summer and is d-mn near a f-cking ghost town in the winter. really, this describes the entire f-cking area in a nutsh-ll. there are only three things worth giving a rat’s -ss about here: lake sunapee, which is okay, mount sunapee, which is overpriced as f-ck and worthless if you don’t like winter sports, and the -ssorted hiking trails, which are mosquito-ridden h-llholes for much of the summer and snowed over in the winter, making them useless for snowshoeing. in short, f-ck this place.
“f-ck, man, where are we going today?”
“claremont?”
“f-ck that sh-t, it’s like a larger newport, aka devoid of anything worth giving a pig f-ck about.”
“man, f-ck sullivan county.”
“true dat.”
a county in upstate new york two hours northwest of new york city. since the advent of the automobile lower middle cl-ss new yorkers (mainly italians, jews and eastern europeans) lured by what they can afford, have been building second homes in the wooded region. having peaked when sc played host to the original woodstock festival, much of the camps and resorts have fallen into disrepair. children of the original transplants are neither urban nor rural. they are neither farmers nor educated. motocross p-sses the time while they wait for land prices to push them further north.
