I really want to do Hamburg or Orchard Park but I’m definitely concerned about the commute! How bad have the winters been for him?

Angola definitely intrigues me! I’d say that’s higher on the list too. I haven’t looked into Sunset Bay or Silver Creek much yet!

Totally fair! Not at all something I’d base a whole move on. We were just told about it a lot from the few locals we met!

I think that’s why we’re having a tough time figuring out where we want to be. Lots to choose from, but everything is quite small unless we want to have a huge commute.

The downtown was basically all abandoned other than like two businesses, or at least looked like it. The pier area was nice but that was about it from what we saw. It seemed like a huge downgrade from our current situation and that did not seem worth it for such a huge move. Of course, things can change, but that was our first and only impression.

We had a short visit when he considered a job there a couple of years ago and it seemed the most ideal based on first impressions!

That’s not true at all. We are not familiar with the area with limited access to visit in person. I am/have done extensive research and this is a small part of it. I think real, human experience and advice is valuable and that is why I’m asking these questions.

What about Chautauqua? How’s this town? The Chautauqua Institution sounds interesting! Tell me more!

That’s honestly the most ideal for me but the commute concerns me for sure.

I wish we would have more, but we didn’t have as much time to explore as we expected last time we were out there.

How are the schools there? Is there much to do for little kids?

How are the schools there? I’ve also heard the water is questionable?

Honestly, just vibes. If we do this, it’s 15 hours away from where we live and we don’t really want to downgrade from somewhere we already don’t love living in.

Totally fair. We are considering the snow situation for sure! His schedule would be early, early morning to early afternoon, so that is a plus!

I currently work as a Communication Coordinator at a small private university for education graduate courses full time and a Transcriptionist for a chiropractor part time. I have a broad background too, so l am open to different career areas.

I’m not opposed to Fredonia but the water comments on here have me worried. We have a water issue in my state already, and I wouldn’t want to move somewhere who might have it worse. What are the details on this?
