Kuckville is beautiful. I always wanted a place there

One spectacular drive (especially for Alwaysanewyorke who is working on hubbie ) is through the Adirondack Park up to Lake Champlain.....(Old Forge, Saranac, Lake Placid is a favorite route of ours) you will have traveled some of the most spectacular countryside in the East.....we continue across Champlain to Burlington VT and down to Boston and it is, again, bucolic in all senses of the word....going the middle of August

For closer to Rochester (Conesus Lake), take hubbie on a wine tour through Canandaigua, Kueka, Cayuga on onward...

You hit the nail on the head. I'm constantly working on my Florida-born wife to move back to NYS in a couple of years when I retire. 30 years in one place is enough. Especially when summer lasts 9 months.

I grow up on Lakeside during the summers, it is a small world. I live in florida now. I miss the Lake so much, I just got back from renting a cottage at Olcott, NY the closest I could find to rent near Lakeside.

I babysat for the Leighs, do you remember the Hoffmans

Some people are just plain coo-coo. Who would want to live in Rochester, NY?! Seriously. You must've had sheltered lives and lived beautiful while the rest of us live through racism and pain.

Some of my neighbor's were the Seeple's, Reimers, Moran's, O'Donnells, and
the Leigh's. At the end of the road we lived on I just discovered a State
Park is there now. You're right, some of my most cherished memories were
growing up there, jumping off johnson's crick bridge, my father and aunt
inherited a cottage just a stones throw away on the Lake but sold it when
we relocated to Florida. Wish we still had it, I'd be up there all summer.
I went to Lyndonville Elementary and Junior High then we moved into Albion.
My husband and I want to move from Florida, and not because we don't like
it here, we do, but I'm just sooooooo ready for a change. My son Jack is starting Kindergarten this August, so it will be sometime before we move, we
just don't know where because we are avid fishers and that is what we enjoy
most and living right near the beach makes it a difficult decision. It's a small
world. Do you remember the little convenient store called Townsend's?

Isn't Kuckville somewhere near Lakeside Beach? We use to play in that area, as well as Pt. Breeze, The Bridges and Lyndonville. Had some great times there. I grew up around Gasport.

I feel sort of bad saying this...but I really don't miss WNY. I do miss the people and some great times I had, and I REALLY miss a good order of wings. Personally though, I'll be happy never to go east of Montana again. Today happens to be my 20th anniversary in Idaho. Having said that, WNY and in particular central NY with the Finger Lakes country is very pretty. I hope you enjoy your trip back and time with family.
