Welcome to Our Community!

Hi! I’m Chris Carosa, author of 50 Hidden Gems of Greater Western New York (you can watch the book trailer at 50HiddenGems.com). Welcome to our site that celebrates all that makes the Greater Western New York Region unique, powerful, and exciting to live in. (They don’t call it “America’s First Frontier” for no reason!) Here, we’ll learn fun facts about our shared cultural heritage, fascinating new ways our region can grow, and maybe even a few comments from outsiders that’ll just turn your face beet red. But we’ll do more than just talk about it. We’ll discuss ways to do something about it. And then we’ll do it.

So, fasten your seatbelts and join on this incredible journey into making us OneCommunity!
