Beacon

A City in Southern Dutchess County in which is know to be pot-infested drug addict wasteland full of mostly Catholics that unanimously approve of the usage of Marijuana and named their city "Tree City". They send their kids to public schools that are ranked lowest in Dutchess County. Really religious people send their kids to *Private Catholic Schools* Beaconites are known to be racist to many groups of people they don't prefer. Two being Gays (not Lesbians) and Autistics.

Beacon is often stereotyped to be a picture-perfect Hudson Valley suburb of NYC.

The mayor of Beacon as of June 27th 2010 is hated even by Beaconites, in fact, Beaconites don't know what to say about them. He wanted to close down their on the spot and very helpful Fire Department Engine One, while residents easily signed a petition, and he's done other questionable actions to make life harder for Beacon residents.

Beacon has a grudge held towards it by the Poughkeepsie Journal newspaper. One can see this when articles about Beaconites are written like this fake obituary "Joe Smith, who was from Beacon a lifelong Beaconite, has died in his home in Beacon. He was from Beacon, and went to Beacon schools, and regularly attended games in Dutchess County and Beacon. He was a Beacon wrestler for his JV Beacon Bulldogs team in Beacon High School which is located in Beacon, New York."
*Poughkeepsie resident walks to his car after meeting several Beaconites and having a very rough time at lunch being criticized he's from Poughkeepsie.*

Lifelong Beacon Resident: Where are you from?

Poughkeepsie Resident: Poughkeepsie.

Lifelong Beacon Resident: Lol, dang you guys got lots of problems... wow! I don't like Poughkeepsie.

Poughkeepsie Resident: What's the problem? Every area has good and bad to it--

Lifelong Beacon Resident: Lol, that's *coughs up flem from yesterday night's Friday Night Main Street party and spits while Poughkeepsie resident flinches* ta-- *ahem* that's mad funny, I'm dying *cough*!!! Hahaha, whatever *walks away, socially backs off and coughs a bit more flem up*

*Poughkeepsie resident walks away in disbelief*

Erie County

A county in New York. Arguably the best county in New York State, Erie County (which, no contest IS the best county in WNY) has Buffalo and several other towns such as Hamburg, West Seneca, Orchard Park, Aurora, Lancaster, Tonawanda, Amherst, Cheektowaga, etc.

No matter what food may urge someone to claim Erie County and Western New York is the land of the bland, once one tries Buffalo's chicken wings, the delicious perfection of this Buffalo area specialty will make one regret any past grudges and dislikes on the area's food.

Erie County has several towns, and exploring each one will surely have one wanting to move to their desired town to call their hometown for as long as they want to live in Western New York or Erie County.

Erie County is simply the heart and soul of Western New York, and the spirit of Buffalonians or Hamburgers or Orchard Park residents or West Senicans, etc. shows how much an Erie County resident / Western New Yorker values his or her hometown.
I checked out Erie County and was drawn to Hamburg and want to call it my hometown. Some think Hamburg's just a town, but I think it's my second home. It can't be just me though, I saw an old lady in her 70s / 80s that said she's a lifetime Orchard Park resident, indubitably the desire to move to the town of one's choice and to call one's desired town his or her hometown is only understand by people who like those specific towns.
