A boring,beleagured and depressing retreat for old, rich folks in Central New York that is definitely not a "Panama City".....a place that the merchants are so paranoid that most of them will refuse out of state licenses for beer purchases for younger customers!
I walk into the store visiting Canandaigua with my out of state DL to buy a six pack....

A town in the suburbs of upstate, NY where the majority of rednecks, middle class families and old veterans live. Though for kids it is a great place to grow up in. In the summer, the kids would boat on the lake pretty much everyday. During the winter, they would go skiing/snowboarding at Bristol. In school the kids participle in sports and/or music. During the spring a lady with bags in her hands with gel on her face walks around the streets of canandaigua and is called "The Vaseline Lady". If you see her walking around then you know it's spring already. Canandaigua is mainly big for its lake, hunting, horseback riding, etc.

A city southeast of Rochester. Rivals with Victor. Known for lacrosse, Canandaigua Lake, Bristol Mountain, CMAC, and home of Wegmans, to name a few. Kids in the summer play in the lake or sit home. If you're an adult, you either take work off to go in the lake or bar hop. In the winter people go to Bristol Mountain or play hockey on the frozen lake, or sled anywhere you can find a good hill. It's a fun place to mess with tourists, and enjoy your life.

According to Native American legend, Canandaigua is the chosen spot/place. At present, the city is undergoing an amazing transformation. There is a Veteran's hospital which is gathering all wounded souls from war and violence. There is St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, who just lost a primary force to the "Pagans". There is the historical Pickering treaty with the Haudenosaunee, which is not followed by the federal government. Angels from throughout human history and geography are gathering to transform Canandaigua into the city of God/Angels from a Redneck Racist hell hole.

A small town of about 18,000 (including town and city)in western upstate New York. Known for its lake south of the town, which holds some of the most expensive lake real estate in the country (basically affluent people from Rochester/out of state that buy summer houses). Although most people are year round residents (I am one of them) many do not own property on the lake. Despite what most people/visitors believe, the town is far from rich or snobby (compared to the wealthy suburbs of Rochester like Pittsford) with most people fitting into the middle/upper middle class category. During the summer many people visit the hyped up Rosland Water Park, only to find that it's a waste of time and money. During the winter however, one can ski at Bristol Mountain which is about a 15 minute drive from the town. Most kids living in Canandaigua attend Canandaigua Academy (the public high school) and participate in sports or art/drama.
