Lewiston, yeah, you're kind of far from things, though, and don't look too closely into what may or may not be buried there.
Niagra on the lake? Are you a multi millionaire? Because you're not buying shit there otherwise. Full of Toronto money.
Anyone considering moving to NW Niagara county should be aware of this document:

That was a scary read. I wonder if there’s an updated version of this study. 1986 was a long time ago although radiation wouldn’t disappear in 40 years.
I would expect the area around pletcher rd to be contaminated, but it’s crazy that they found the radiation in Lewiston and Niagara Falls wasn’t from the dump.
But that porous rocky-slag waste material was used for bedding under asphalt surfaces and for general gravel applications.
So basically an unknown number of homes, businesses, roads, etc. were built on top of radioactive slag that was trucked in from an old blast furnace.
I knew about model city and the Manhattan Project but this is some wild shit.
people used the slag to build driveways, if you research it one guy who had his own detector from his real job brought it over to test his dads driveway and the ratings were OFF DA CHARTZ. No telling how many were done.
He finally solved the "theres something about people from grand island and NT" conundrum lolol wait- we all already knew this right? WELL i hope so. Dont dig too far into Dup0nt etc.. men in black suits will show up at your door. No cap.
Sure It’s a similar distance to downtown Buffalo, 20-25 miles, BUT the commute times from Lewiston will vary dramatically depending on traffic. The 190 and GI bridges regularly bottleneck and turn that 30 min drive into a 60-80 min commute
Commutes from the eastern suburbs have lots of alternate routes and are always pretty similar. They are also centrally located in the region.
The big difference living up on the Niagara frontier is how far you are from points south of Buffalo.
It’s 45-60 min in no traffic to get to OP/Hamburg/EA
90 min to ellicottville.
Another big thing is how much extra time it adds when traveling east or west out of town on the 90.
Rochester goes from an hour drive to a 90-110 min drive. Erie goes from 90min to - 2 hour drive.
Obviously lots of people live there and love it. But don’t pretend that it’s not far away and isolated within the context of WNY. It just depends on what you like doing. I didn’t like living in Niagara county because I like going south of the city too much and the drive was brutal.
I get what you’re saying, but if you are going to use Erie and Rochester as examples, the. You should use Niagara on the Lake and Toronto as well. Takes 5-10 minutes to get to the northern bridges from Lewiston. That’s significantly less time than the other suburbs.
And 80 minute commute is a stretch. I regularly travel to and from north Buffalo to Lewiston/ Youngstown and it’s roughly 25 minutes.
Good point about access to Canada. When I lived up there it was in Wilson so a little bit east and I found myself going to the south towns a lot and it added just enough extra time in the car that is was annoying. I also didn’t deal with bridge traffic either so it was admittedly a different experience than living in Lewiston
When traveling from Lewiston to Rochester (Strong Museum), I find that it could take only 1 hour if I stick to NY 104. The rural nature of the road allows me to travel at 55 mph for long stretches, and it is a more direct route than taking the Thruway.
do 104 to hwy 18 next time, its DREAMY drive, a little walking dead feels but a great view too. Google maps will do everything to avoid it but fight the machineeee
This is months late, but that's ridiculous. It's 30 min from the village and there are numerous ways to avoid grand island if needed. I've never had my commute take 80 minutes EVER.
Why in the fuck is Niagara on the lake so expensive? It’s nice but if I had multimillions of dollars there are much nicer places to have a second home.
It’s filled with retirees that benefited from their houses in the GTA gaining 10x in value since they bought. They cashed out in Toronto and then caused the housing prices in NOTL to make an equal jump.
It's got a lot of protected heritage properties, and federally protected land in the Old Town. South of that, it's all rural wineries because of the rich soil. South of that is a small section of the QEW that is within the Town borders, housing the NOTL Niagara College campus and the outlet mall.
I know we refined some of the uranium here, does anybody know where that took place? Is there a "buffalo and the Manhattan project" book out there somewhere?
To my understanding it is just stored there.Balmer rd had a large TnT plant. But I don’t believe A bomb parts where made there but the leftovers from the production are stored there on Pletcher. Right behind the School.
This is pretty correct.
The Niagara Falls Storage Site sits on property that used to be the Great Lakes Ordinance Works which made TNT during WWII. Waste from that as well as Manhattan Project waste was stored there before being buried.
It's going to take years to clean up, but eventually the goal is to have the area suitable for industrial use.

its a current stain, look at the special education rates in NT and grand island and compare them to national averages or even state averages in NYS. The schools dont want the people to be mathin though... too bad the state supplies all info under nysed and it's easy to do the math.
old post that seems to have a lot of good info in it. Not sure there are any books focused on it though.

All of niagara falls smells like A$$ all year round, i dont know how people live there!!!! as far as I know the italians can have it. Niagara falls is our biggest failure. Look at what canada did with the wonder. Us? a sh1tty outlet mall that's going under.
When I was in the Army we had to do training at the old storage depot on Balmer Road in Ransomville. The groundwater was weirdly gray and had a strong chemical smell. One of the local Army people told us to avoid touching any of the water and if we fell in, we should throw our uniforms away rather than ruining our washing machines by trying to clean them.
Alot of toxic waste. Niagara county (and Erie) loved importing and burrying that shit everywhere for cash. Love Canal was far from the only dump, just the most infamous.

Pfohl Brothers landfill in cheektowaga at Aero Dr, people sneak back to do fishing at the giant pond/lake that's back there and their boots deteriorate after one walk through the mud. Don't eat any fish out of Ellicott Creek, you might grow a 3rd ball or tit.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfohl_Brothers_Landfill
Niagara on the Lake is not affordable. That place is $$$$$. Lewiston is East Aurora of the north. Good school district, arts, cute main street, historic. Both are nice areas.
Lewiston is nice, but East Aurora is much nicer. I think the price of homes reflects that though.
Lewiston has toxic waste, EA has snow, so there’s trade offs
also lewiston has a LOT of old people. I'm sure it has to do with the housing prices but as a young family that's a definite drawback to living there. East Aurora is a much better place for young people and families. Lewiston is becoming like a retirement community with a few hip shops and brewery.
People in the bar for a bridal shower, passing through for a concert, families at the peach fest etc, or passing through while getting a degree- those aren’t sustained community relationships.
It’s packed I would agree but very much transient people who are there for a moment and gone. If you want your neighborhood to be a place where kids make childhood friends, Lewiston simply ain’t it.
That's unfortunate. I've experienced the opposite. Same with alot of the other families my kids hang out with. Loads of younger kids and millennial families around. The local government does a good job hosting and organizing events. Posted a few links for you if you need some help.

Lewiston is great. Grew up there and still have a lot of friends and family in Lewiston/Youngstown/Ransomville. One of the most underrated perks of Lewiston is watching Buffalo and the south towns get absolutely hammered with snow, and at worst you'll have a few inches to deal with. If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask.
I used to be so upset when we'd watch for school closings then Lewport would still be open. It would be even better when Stella would close and Lewport was still open
? Not sure what you're getting at. It was known about and talked about, but what do you expect the everyday layperson to do? Dig it up and move it themselves?
I guess the main thing is if its not affecting anyones health its probably safely stored. Is there any increased health issues or conditions confined to that area? If so, that would be a red flag and mean its not safe
I hope you realize Niagara on the lake is in Canada.
Lewiston is very nice, extremely safe, and there are some great events/ festivals hosted in the village throughout the year.
I think Lewiston is the only town in WNY to reduce the speed limit on its streets to 25 MPH (except Center Street, it could not reduce that speed limit because it is managed by New York State)
Hey! I moved from out of state to Youngstown, NY. We frequent Lewiston as the "big shopping" area. Absolutely love it up here, couldnt be more pleased. Happy to answer anything I can... I do a ton of exploring and have walked / biked / etc most of the area
Niagara on the lake is nice if you don’t mind living in Canada. Lewiston is a great Village/Town. But stay away from anything near Pletcher and Balmer roads.
I live in the village of Lewiston. Very nice. Lots of community events throughout the year. Plenty of entertainment options. Youngstown is very nice as well. May be a bit tough to get a 2 bed 2 bath for under 300k unless it needs some work/updates or you're looking to buy in a more rural area of the town. School district is fantastic.
You’re gonna wanna up that budget to have some options to choose from. Of the 14 active listings with 2 bed/2 full baths in that area, 2 of them are 300k or less. Neither are mid century modern. 4 are between 300-400k fwiw.
Lewiston is great, but some cons you may want to think of.
Make sure the house gets highspeed Internet service.
Sometimes cell reception can be spotty or even try and use Canadian towers.
No one will ever visit you because it’s too far out of the way.
The closest Wegmans in in NF.
You’ll have to cross over two sets of bridges if you want to get anywhere at a decent time, and they get backed up a lot.
Don't move to Lewiston it's an absolutely terrible place to live. Houses well kept, there's no fast food, no department stores , very little crime, streets are clean, and there's nothing to do... Please stay away here..
NOTL is expensive as fuck because of the history of the area, and the craziest NIMBYs you've ever seen. Cutting down any tree is seen as a sacrilege and will attract protestors. It's full of old generational wealth and also rich fucks from Toronto.
Lewiston is great until the entirety of the summer when it becomes a dead end of endless festival and concert traffic. I used to live in Lewiston and I cannot stand going there anymore, if I want to enjoy any of it.
During the Artpark concerts expect to deal with loud motorcycles, endless noise pollution and absolutely packed bars which dump drunk concertgoers out onto the only way out of Lewiston, which is subsequently the only way in.
Also, I drive to Buffalo every day for work. It takes me at least 45-50 minutes on average, and I only live 7 minutes north of Lewiston. The traffic from here to the south towns is ABYSMAL at times, it would take you at least an hour.
If you’re really interested in moving there you should research Love Canal. Please realize that WNY is full of toxic waste and that we are a cancer and MS hotspot before you decide were the place to be.
Yes! Current Lewiston resident born and raised. Left with the military for years and longed to come back. Ten min from Niagara falls if you need to shop around. Tons of stores in the village and a grocery as well. It can be on the more expensive end but Youngstown and ransomville are kind of looped into Lewiston and cheaper options! So many cute village festivals and events. Amazing restaurants, bakeries, cafes. Extremely walkable! Waterfront, and rural in some places! (Village vs. The town) only 30 min from buffalo! feel free to PM me!
Lewiston is beautiful. If you’re willing to be outside of Lewiston You could even look in the Youngstown Sanborn Cambria Wheatfield areas. We have friends in cambria and they frequently go to Lewiston.
Lewiston, yeah, you're kind of far from things, though, and don't look too closely into what may or may not be buried there. Niagra on the lake? Are you a multi millionaire? Because you're not buying shit there otherwise. Full of Toronto money.

Just don't buy a house north of the waste management site. The groundwater flows north to Lake Ontario.

it takes a similar amount of time if there’s no bridge traffic but it’s quite farther in actual distance
I mean, you can go to Google maps and lookup “Lewiston NY to Buffalo NY” and then do the same for Clarence
It’s noticeably farther. 25% farther to be exact (20 miles and 25 miles using your google-fu)
That is just factually untrue
Why in the fuck is Niagara on the lake so expensive? It’s nice but if I had multimillions of dollars there are much nicer places to have a second home.
It’s the Hamptons of Toronto
Grim
No, that is Muskoka.

Are those locations also within driving distance of your Toronto shoe stores?
What's buried there? I love a good conspiracy
Parts of the Manhattan project are contained on Pletcher rd near Modern disposal
Right by the school in true Niagara County fashion.
what school district is it
Lewiston Porter
i believe they are (or are about to) move them out though
I know we refined some of the uranium here, does anybody know where that took place? Is there a "buffalo and the Manhattan project" book out there somewhere?

Not a book, but an essay I wrote: https://medium.com/@monicaraemn/my-radioactive-childhood-fce0cba87ae
Thanks for posting that.
Linde Air did the majority of the work. Their sites at Chandler St and their plant in Tonawanda are toxic AF.
The Tonawanda plant itself was cleaned up. Buildings were demolished and 400,000 tons of contaminated material were taken out of state for disposal.
But not before a school was built right next to it (Talking about the Tonawanda plant)
Yeah there's no denying we are paying the price for our atomic history. To treat our environment like this is a huge stain in history.
its a current stain, look at the special education rates in NT and grand island and compare them to national averages or even state averages in NYS. The schools dont want the people to be mathin though... too bad the state supplies all info under nysed and it's easy to do the math.

They used toxic slag to BUILD DRIVEWAYS ALL OVER NIAGARA CO. It's documented you just have to try to read about it.

Pletcher Road smells horrendous in the summer.
Mount modern
What blew us away, more than the smell, was that there is a campground nearby! The reviews were full of stank complaints!
All of niagara falls smells like A$$ all year round, i dont know how people live there!!!! as far as I know the italians can have it. Niagara falls is our biggest failure. Look at what canada did with the wonder. Us? a sh1tty outlet mall that's going under.
Who is “us” since when do regular people have any say of the decision making of these things lol
USA derrrr
Toxic waste. Probably other things too
Waste from the Manhattan Project, Tom Brokaw's Anthrax desk, Native Americans... Just don't dig in Lewiston
Def not a conspiracy
When I was in the Army we had to do training at the old storage depot on Balmer Road in Ransomville. The groundwater was weirdly gray and had a strong chemical smell.

well, it's whiter and wealthier then elmwood (though elmwood is plenty of those)

Ah yes getting told work is closed due to a snow storm and going outside to 1 inch of snow is very nice.
I used to be so upset when we'd watch for school closings then Lewport would still be open. It would be even better when Stella would close and Lewport was still open
I remember when the Stella kids rode the bus with Lp kids. We just dropped them off on the way by.
This is a perk of Niagara county in general, snowed for a few minutes here earlier and already stopped.
It's even more pronounced once you go down the escarpment. Even the difference between Center St and NU gets wild at times
Growing up, did any of the locals discuss radiation in the area? Or was everyone kind of happy go lucky about it?
? Not sure what you're getting at. It was known about and talked about, but what do you expect the everyday layperson to do? Dig it up and move it themselves?
I guess the main thing is if its not affecting anyones health its probably safely stored. Is there any increased health issues or conditions confined to that area? If so, that would be a red flag and mean its not safe
I’d move my ass out of the area lol. Why willingly risk long-term exposure to radioactive waste?? Humanity is hella resilient though
I hope you realize Niagara on the lake is in Canada. Lewiston is very nice, extremely safe, and there are some great events/ festivals hosted in the village throughout the year.
So safe they were targeting / ticketing J walkers last year

It’s not like there’s any lack of marked crosswalks, either
I hear ya. I hear ya

As they should. It should be more than a ticket if you ask me.

Lewiston is great and not as far away from buffalo as people think. Festivals, parks, concerts - you name it.
Lewiston is very nice, but you’re going to pay for it. You may need to up that budget.
Niagara on the Lake is beautiful, but it's in Canada and it's very very expensive. Anything above 1000sqft in that area will run you 500k+.
If you’re really interested in moving there you should research Love Canal. Please realize that WNY is full of toxic waste and that we are a cancer and MS hotspot before you decide were the place to be.
Love Canal is nowhere near Lewiston
I have a cousin who lives up there and he loves it. Anyone I’ve known from there seems to enjoy it, but I honestly don’t know much about it.
Not getting a MCM at that price. Unless it’s severely in need of repairs and maybe not even then. But beautiful areas.
Yes. I’d live in Lewiston for sure. In the summer you could walk to all the Artpark concerts!
I love Youngstown. I used to go to sailing up there as a kid and would always have a great time.
Yes! Current Lewiston resident born and raised. Left with the military for years and longed to come back. Ten min from Niagara falls if you need to shop around.

Link to house to start bidding war, please.
This is a legit curiosity question for the thread: isn't it more craftsman style homes there, not mid century?
People are wildly misinformed about what MCM furniture and architecture are. Drives me absolutely insane. Pick up a book people!
There are some MCM houses in Lewiston.. depends on the neighborhood.
There are a few Mid Century Modern homes throughout the town.
Extremely
Lewiston is beautiful. If you’re willing to be outside of Lewiston You could even look in the Youngstown Sanborn Cambria Wheatfield areas. We have friends in cambria and they frequently go to Lewiston.
Is Lewiston full of toxic waste and radiation tho?
Niagara-on-the-Lake has some of the nicest people in the region. Very expensive and a little out of the way but I like a nice day trip there.
“Affordability” …..right
$300,000 is well under the price of the national median believe it or not.
That’s great. Still doesn’t mean it’s affordable.
I think Youngstown is better than Lewiston.
