I hear it in movies so the time. We’re going upstate. I went upstate. Etc

I never hear downstate, or similar. Does it just mean going north?

        I think the way he says it is technically correct. I usually hear and say the one-syllable version, like “porsh”. But that’s the bastardized American pronunciation.
