When I visit WNY in the summer I think "you know...I could live here". And then I visit in the winter and I think "this isn't even a great place to visit, let alone live here!"

Enough pressure downward on the regional economy to keep home values down especially in the little towns and villages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I'm a warm weather fan. A very warm weather fan. So much of a warm weather fan anything below 60 is cold to me. And just where I'd want to live. An area with downward pressure on the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock up on food for 5 months and don’t come out of the house. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making general conversation. The region does get a little influx from outside as some retirees can stretch their money by cashing in their multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars home down by Boston, NYC, Philly to buy a place maybe worth 100,000 dollars and bank what does not go for income taxes on the sale of the old home. Trouble is there is still a lack of quality buyers so homes struggle to sell for what owners hope to get for them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their marketing director grew up across from my other sister in Bergen so it should be a good tour. I told her I make my own cheese so I need some tips. 16 minutes ago, Wacka said: I thought you were in import and export of latex products. I import only. And for personal use.

But we know who wears the pants. But... Site has been bookmarked! I am a gluten for punishment. Will pitch stopping there next time... Look like a hero. Went to Glen Iris Inn for lunch on Tuesday. One old guy comes in and looks @ menu, checks it out... And signals: "Not bad [price I assume] to his wife." You gotta be kidding... We gotta out of there under 70 bucks for my wife, daughter, and myself. Very, very cheap... The creamery can't be that bad... It's in country, sticks... Couple hundro we spend heading back from Wisconsin @ some cheesy touristtourist trap... At least we'd be getting good artisan stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the dairy in WNY I have no idea why it’s not flooded with artisinal cheesemakers. I’ve considered it but a too much hard work at the point in my life. My cousin’s ex-husband’s step sons (how’s that for the conjugation of the family tree) run First Light Creamery in Bethany. They are predominately goat cheese while East Hill is 100% cow.

And insuing (cheap) hike. LoL... I was surprised at the amount of field w/soy. Big presence. But didn't look as well as it has been here. Corn a bit peaked.

From what I’ve seen/heard many farmers are going to soy vs corn. Grass fed is the best for cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: Won't be too happy after the recent turn of events. I hear China is doing same with the soy movement... ? But NYS is a BlueState... Unlike the lamenting from states like, cough, cough... Iowa... Ooops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
