The Erie County Fair was definitely missed last summer. Since its beginning, the Erie County Fair has been one of the most exciting events every summer in Western New York. Many residents in the area wait every year for it to take place, and last year, we had to cancel for obvious reasons. This year, we have a little bit of hope.

The governor is working on giving guides to each fair in the state to have them be able to hold their events this summer. So, Western New Yorkers will still have to wait patiently, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel this year for fair goers.

Erie County Fair Staff & Board Planning Ahead

Erie County Fair staff and board are working on their plans for when they get the go-ahead for the fair this summer. They’re looking at all options on what they’ll be allowed to do when it comes to the operation of the event. This is a good sign for all Western New Yorkers who’ve been waiting patiently for the word on the Erie County Fair.

Why is the Erie County Fair Important for the Community?

Fairs are always good for the local community. It brings new business to local shops, and it gives residents of the community something to look forward to every summer. Sure, it can be annoying when it comes to traffic, but it is only once a year.

The Erie County Fair is just another reason for people to relocate to Western New York. With summer approaching, everyone in the area is looking forward to going to festivals, concerts, fairs, and other events. The hope is that we can have all of these events happen with the proper COVID-19 protocols in place for the health and safety of everyone.

Many dog owners have trouble going out with friends for drinks and food because they don’t enjoy leaving their dog alone at home for a long period of time.

With a dog bar, you can bring your dog out with you and not have to worry about that situation.

Buffalo Needs More Places Like This

In the past few years, Buffalo has slowly been opening up businesses that people are wishing for. There is a complete revitalization of the Western New York area. So many small and successful businesses are opening the doors for everyone to come in and enjoy. It was a little nerve-racking when the pandemic hit because Buffalo was on the rise and doing well beforehand. We didn’t know how the economy would do when the pandemic hit. Luckily, the area has stayed strong, and now we’re seeing more businesses open.

The Importance of Dog Bars/Dog Parks

Future Plans for the Buffalo Skyway

For so many years, state and local officials have been trying to come up with a solution to the skyway. Too many, it’s an eyesore in the city, and there are some hazards that go along with it. Windy and stormy days it is closed for safety precaution. The biggest question state officials have is what will we replace it with if they decide to tear it down? The governor already has plans moving forward to try and take the skyway down, but there is no further action plan on what will replace it.

Buffalo Skyway coming down

Skyways Ideas Coming to Light

There were some plans of leaving the structure up but making it a raised park for people to walk through, but that hasn’t been a popular idea amongst many. The most popular thought would be to tear it down and develop all of the land underneath with larger parks and clean up some of the industrial sites around the area. This could be a wonderful thing for the canal side area because it could bring new businesses and help the city’s economy flourish.

Alternative Driving Routes

The Buffalo Skyway provides a driving route in and out of the city running north and south. Tearing the skyway down will eliminate this route, which will leave city and state officials with a problem. Obviously, this problem has to be solved before the structure comes down. There will have to be some route that replaces the skyway for those who take it in and out of the city. The 190 will not be enough for the future of growing populations in Western New York.

The Skyway Projects & Plans are Exciting for WNY-ers

This discussion and plan among the state officials should excite the people of Western New York. The Buffalo Skyway can be convenient at times, but in the long run, it will be better for the government to provide a tear-down solution sometime soon.

For many years, Fantasy Island, and amusement park located on Grand Island, provided families an adventurous place to go and spend the day at. Throughout recent years, it has been closed and opened back and forth. Now, as the pandemic devastated so many small businesses across the country, the question now is will Fantasy Island re-open? Nobody really knows.

Fantasy Island on Grand Island in NY

Living in Grand Island, NY

Living in Grand Island, NY is quite unique. It’s a quiet and quaint little town with local shops and restaurants.

We Hope Fantasy Island Opens Again

It’s been a crazy and tragic year for many people. The loss of jobs, taking classes from home, financial issues, and of course sickness has devastated our communities across the country. It seems many local and small businesses are struggling to keep their doors open anymore. It is sad to see because now everyone is focused on the internet for their entertainment and life questions.

If and when Fantasy Island re-opens, we encourage everyone who lives at Town Hall Terrace, as well as the locals and out-of-towners to go and support the local amusement park. There is an extensive history with this park, and it needs to be taken care of for years to come.

How to Make Moving Easier for Yourself

Posted by & filed under Living in Western New York, Moving Tips, Patio Homes, Places to Visit, Renting Apartment, Things to Do Around Town Hall Terrace, Townhouses, Uncategorized, Western New York Townhouses.

Moving into a new place is very exciting. It gives you a fresh start and a new place that you’ll live in for the next year at least. The moving process is always a stressful one, especially if you have a good amount of furniture. Most people do not look forward to the actual moving day because moving large furniture, bedroom sets, and all of your belongings can take hours or even days. It also can be strenuous on your body.

Moving into a new home

However, there are always ways to make the moving process easier on yourself. For one, consider hiring a moving company for the heavier belongings like furniture and bedroom sets. You may also look at getting rid of unnecessary belongings to lighten the load when moving.

Hiring a Local Moving Company

A moving company is worth it. Many companies also provide packing services if you’re unwilling to pack up your things. It’s a good idea to organize everything first if you’re going to take this route. We recommend at least packing and labeling boxes for your own sanity. A moving company will not only help you move all of your furniture, but they’ll make sure everything stays safe.

The Benefits:

  •  Eliminate stress of moving
  • No need for lifting heavy furniture/belongings
  • Quick and easy delivery to new home/apartment
  • Ensure safety of belongings

 Declutter Before Moving

Another way to make moving easier on yourself and your family is to declutter your belongings before you move. Cleaning your current home or apartment and getting rid of useless items can help lighten the load of the move. Also, when decluttering your belongings, moving into a new place will relieve stress and give you a fresh new look with your place. Cleaning and decluttering can immediately relieve stress and anxiety of moving.

The Benefits:

  •  Get rid of unnecessary belongings
  • Relieve stress of moving
  • Organize your necessary belongings
  • Have a cleaner and more organized new home

At Town Hall Terrace, we understand that the moving process can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be if you arrange for movers or try and declutter your belongings. If you’re looking for new apartments, patio homes, or townhouses to lease, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re located in Grand Island, NY.
