Thank you though! I will watch for Monkeyboy to see what he can tell me!

Not much to do there... typical upstate New York (western NY, excuse me) town. I was there a few times myself for soccer tournaments when I was in undergrad.

Thanks Kimberly! Maybe we'll sit this one out. This is DDs first year and I doubt she'll play much anyway. We're just proud parents of our first college student and I'm sure we'll tend to smother!

My parents went to college there....but that was in the 50s.

so not much help from me I'm afraid.

The only thing noteable about that area of the country (no offense to anyone here) are the grape fields used in many local wineries in that area. Never have tried them myself, but I imagine you could do that in that area.

Personally though, I'd wait until you reached a larger city than Fredonia, NY before you went to visit her... or you could go to both!

Good luck to your daughter in undergrad, those were some of the best years of my life, and I probably will continue to believe that.

And it probably hasn't changed much.

DH and I went to undergrad there in the late 80's. It's a really nice small town. Lots of wineries in the area. If you're looking for big city, this is not the place to go, but if you like a quaint small town, you'll like it.

If you go, I can recommend a fantastic restaurant that doesn't look like anything special called Roccos. The food is wonderful. The White Inn is a very fancy, formal Victorian restaurant, a bit pricey. For a casual lunch, the Hook and Ladder Deli is great for all homemade foods and delicious desserts. Also, the Upper Crust on Main Street has great lunches.

I bet your dd is playing against my former babysitter who lives across the street from me. She's a fourth year soccer player at Fredonia named Erin.

Lake Erie is not far at all, great sunsets.

I play in an orchestra housed at the college (WNY Chamber Orchestra) so I'm in town quite a bit.

Monkeyboy- we call it Ferrrrrrdonia.
