I grew up (that’s debatable!!) at the western edge of the Finger lakes, near Conesus lake, in Livingston county.
I miss the lightning bugs. The berries, strawberries and black raspberries.
REAL seasons where the maples change their leaves practically overnight.
Fresh sweet corn, mean pick it and you can be eating it 20 minutes later!
Lot of EXCELLENT cheese from that part of the country!
GOOD Italian food. I mean TO DIE FOR Italian food.
I may get back there sometime, but not in any rush now...
Grew up north of Syracuse. Still miss the white hotdogs served at Hyde’s in Liverpool.
Don’t miss the potential for significant snow from October through mid-May and the 25 to 35 below zero temps that happen every winter.
