Why Batavia if you are going to the Falls? Are you going to the Canadian side?

If you go to Niagara Falls on American side just go to the state park…..park is nice…..city of Niagara Falls is like Detroit Lite…..total shithole. Letchworth state park is very nice and worth going to |

You will be happier to stay home and take the loss. The meat cutters union hall in Batavia is no longer active.

The only non-boarded up building is the police station and its probably been burned down by now. Nobody but owners of Pakistani restaurants made out of condemned pizza hut buildings left. Literally non-English speaking people pooping in the open on the way to Maid of the Mist. Never get on the boat. Just never go to Niagara Falls. Charles Cyphers said at his high school reunion it has become an open air insane asylum where nobody speaks English. |

Update .i made it back . Bativia was ummm.. different. Im not going to bad mouth it. It was a good trip because it got me away from down state for a bit . Family had a good time.
We stayed at la quinta and it was ok (room smelled like Indian food and b.o.) The town is a little run down but not to bad . I never felt undafe . What shocked me was niagara falls city . Holy shit what a shit hole . Filthy, rundown , people looking at you like they want a problem. Was caught off guard with that . All in all it was a good time . Thank you all again!! |

Was caught off guard with that . I remember when one could stop at the HOJO's in Niagara Falls, have lunch and walk around the city without much issue. The last 20 years I just stop at Duty Free and continue from there. On return, after Customs, head to a BJ's station in Tonawanda to fill up. |

Our old family farm was in Batavia and lots of the family lived there. Small town America [shrug]
my wife interviewed for a job in Niagara Falls and they asked why she would want to move there. I think in law school I sent a resume there along with a million others, but this time a lawyer wrote back and warned me to stay away |

He made it through a year in Helmand province, got back to work back home and was shot Another guy from the same year was a Statie and survived his tour just to die from falling off his roof a while after he got back. |
