I don’t live there but visit on occasion. Very quiet town. Ran into a white out blizzard while driving there that a local tells me isn’t unusual.
One minute I could see the road the next I couldn’t tell where the road started or ended.
Town seemed quiet but didn’t seem to have the small town friendly feeling you get from many small towns.

Seemed like only very small towns in area that have long country like roads. I think Syracuse is nearest decent size
