  Too bad Barber Conable is not around anymore.  He spoke to a business class I was in while at Cornell.  He said send him a letter anytime.  No address required other than Barber Conable and Alexander, NY.  He would get it.  Better than most of the post offices I've had to deal with.

Ha. I could send a letter to Mary in Alexander and mom would get it. Seriously. Barber planted trees in town one year. The one in front of our house died. My mom told Barber it’s because my mom and dad were Democrats.

  I dated a woman from neighboring Nunda over 30 years ago.  The one and only woman I dated that carry a gun in her purse.  I was simultaneously impressed and a tad bit concerned.  A time where nearly all people around WNY were not carrying "concealed" so to speak.

Born in Southern California to parents from Buffalo who moved to CA for a few years, and then, moved back to Buffalo!  Who does that? 

 

Seems now like they were smart, way ahead of their time.

No shit dude.  You did it backwards. I was born in WNY and moved to SoCal in 1983.

Really.  Used to drive through there once a month or so from Buffalo area to Dansville while working for a used car dealer when I was young.  Route took us through Pavillion, then Mt. Morris.

Oakfield/Alabama. I think I was 18 before I realized that was two different towns.  We drove through Alabama and I was “what the??!!”

As a kid the height of summer vacation was sitting on the front porch and watching them stop cars and search for escape prisoners.

Last I was in Getzville was '83, so if either place was there at the time I don't remember them. I used to go to the Pine Lodge (on Millersport) a lot, and our family used to get the fish fry at Stockman's Tavern in Swormville frequently. There just weren't many places nearby to go back then. We used to pile in the car and go downtown quite a bit. I remember places like No Name's, Eduardo's, and the infamous Cassidy's (Freddie's special! Wooo!).

No. A suburb of Batavia.  Attica is in a whole different county. 😁
