JimF-LowBari Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Here you go... But is the Tier a range of mountains or something else? Drive by there on the way to Rochester and spent a week in the lower (Ithica) part of the Finger Lakes and never saw an explaination.

gak27 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think it's primarily the general geographic collection of those counties -- they kind of form a horizontal shelf/tier along the bottom (southern) border of New York.

84BDsop Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 The Hellgaters Sounds like they should've had a visit from Buffy and the Scoobys (yes...I know...she was working the HellMOUTH....work with me here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
