Which is common really. A rich and massive East Buffalo suburb full of rich and massive people. This is the little village within the large town. It basically contains the village centre areas.

If you get junk mail from this Village, then it's the Village Of Spamcaster.

This all changed on the 22nd of December because they hosted an incredible market there that day. The name of it escapes me, but it was a creepy Christmas extravaganza! Right up my alley. I had so much fun talking to and buying from the vendors and spent way too much on presents for loved ones. It was two floors, but the elevator was easily accessible, which is a nice touch for us disabled folks. The upstairs was just as lovely. The staff was incredibly helpful and didn't appear to hate their jobs, which counts for something.
