Thoughts on Olean NY? /uj

This is an un-jerk post - serious question, what are the general thoughts of folks from Buffalo in regards to Olean NY?

I've lived in Buffalo for a decade now, and I moved here because as a rural queer person Olean wasn't exactly the VIBE for me, plus from an economic standpoint there's nothing happening in Olean.

But growing up in the 1990s in Olean all I ever heard about was Buffalo. But it also felt like Olean and Buffalo had a connection. My mom worked at the Buffalo News in the 1970s, she would take the train from Olean to Buffalo. I grew up eating Beef on Weck and drinking Loganberry at the local spot in Olean. Mike Randall did the weather from the Taste of Olean when I was a kid.

I'm trying to figure out where the disconnect happened. Been thinking a lot about WNY region as a whole lately.
