Everything you need to know about Tonawanda in two sentences: It's a polluted shithole located on the Niagara River in close proximity to Buffalo, it is a former sundown town who took down their last "Sundowners Neighborhood Watch" sign in 2020. There is a cult following for the Buffalo Bills, potholes the size of baby elephants, and several rails to trails paths.
It's been several years since I've been there and do not anticipate returning at any point.
Upvoting for the "rails to trails paths." I like when cities make those.
Ah I had always wondered, I lived across the river from it. In all my years in the Niagara area I don't think I actually went to NF, USA or its surrounding towns. Then again I've heard stories about NF, USA and it didn't spark in me an interest to go there. Buffalo was always nice though
