I have lived in the wny area for my whole life. I've been down near the PA border and up near lake Ontario. A lot of the time I've lived somewhere near Niagara falls blvd. Falls, wheatfield, Amherst. When not near Blvd Ive been in north Buffalo or black rock.
I'd say 12 people in three groups. They're pretty much family at this point. 4 of them moved out of state. We talk pretty often and visit as often as possible.
I have really bad social anxiety so a lot of work goes into potential new friends.
