That's like hard core out of town.
Really small community. Barely has a restaurant.
It's also really small town USA. Big activity there is going to the supermarket
But Wegmans is some supermarket, quite an activity.   :D

I honestly never understood it. It's no different than any other supermarket
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Anyone here live in Israel in a city besides for Yerushalayim? Aliyah may not be in my immediate future, but I'm curious to hear more about the communities where you can own a house with a yard, driveway, etc.

I was only in RBS once or twice, but everything I saw was an apartment. Is there an area there with houses?

Yes, interested in American communities.

Didn't want to start a new thread -
My wife and I are planning on going to the OU community fair on Sunday but cannot find a babysitter.  Anyone know how kid friendly this is?
Why not just ask someone with a high post count to babysit?

Is Rochester's Jewish community that small?
They are only around an hour to Buffalo so
you have them as well I guess.

Driving through Baltimore the other day we passed a corner house with a nice backyard. My daughter says "daddy look -a park!"
Guess where I live.
