Near Buffalo and Grand Island. People have to help each other in Tonawanda because they have serious snow, driven by lake-effects. It’s healthy for locals to band together to deal with nature.

Unfortunately they also band together in unions as if employers were a natural enemy.

It's an injun name.

It means fat girl; literally ton of Wanda.

Ok, I made the fat girl part up, but it is an American (Tuscarora) Indian word.
