Tonawanda New York is at the western end of the old Erie Canal that was completed in 1825. A part of the town know as Goose Island was known for its bars and brothels, frequented by the canal boat men, who would often spend the winters there when the canal froze over.
Located North of Buffalo, it is within a few miles of Niagra Falls. Being just upstream this is a popular place for boating and there are marinas and dockside establishments along that stretch of the Niagra River.
Formerly a factory town, the mills have long closed and were a major effort to clean up from environmental pollution.
are you kiddin, tonawanda is not a so called “hippy” haven, its just like every other american town,shitty, just cause you smoke a little with your buddies…
Tonnawanda is definately not a chill place. Vrey very very few chill people there, and high crime. I don’t know where anyone got the idea that Tonnawanda is a haven, if anything, hippies are outcast and persecuted there.
i used to live like a half hour from tonowanda, i do not believe it could be considered as a hippy haven. i would not recommend this stop unless you like high crime , ridiculous politics, and pollution.

The only place in Western Ny that could ever be considered a “hippie haven” would be the Allentown or Elmwood sections in Buffalo. Tonawanda is just an old Suburb home to Baby Joe Mesi and Wolf Blitzer.
Tonawanda is nothing but a bunch a hip-hop, rap lovin kids. If there is a place in the Buffalo area that is accepting (or tolerant) of hippies- its is the Allentown Art district area, or Elmwood strip. Needless to say, the West side is far from Tonawanda, but deffinately the place to be.
Granted it is a little crouded as it is near the city, as opposed to a run down, shitty suburb, but thats the fun in it. Tons of shops along the Strip and cheap rent, many studio/ flats for rent, great night life— sound preferable? You bet!!
It’s been years since i last met the cutiest red head, and i have to say one of the nicest young ladies i have evr met on this planet. It was Boston, there was snow on the ground and a bit chilly. You were visiting family and i was a friend of that family. You and i spent a little time together. I just never ever forgot. I think it was your smile and your beautiful red hair. No im sure it was more than that. Well you have never exited my mind. I do hope all is well with you. Annmarie i believe and it was aprox. Jan. or Feb. 65 GOOD LUCK 2 ALL THAT READ THIS 2007 aka.
