My ancestry in Western New York can be traced back to first wave of immigration. My relatives came from Prussia in 1843. As far as why I left WNY, I followed my then wife (yes in fact, she was Lucifer) to the Binghamton area in 2000. Good news, my new wife , our son and I will be moving back this August. There is nothing like moving away to realize how good the area is. In Binghamton, our most noteworthy weekend activity is going to the local Wal-Mart Supercenter. In Buffalo, there are festivals most weekends, an underrated theater and music scene, professional sports and Toronto is an hour away. Add in the food available (weck, wings and more) and we can't wait to get back!
