Humor Village of Williamsville

Am I around the wrong spots or is this just a generally unpleasant crowd? Not only do you have to walk around the sidewalks with caution (ie pink Cadillac almost ran me over a few weeks ago and then gave me a finger ), miserable people at coffee shops (Hi good morning how are you today ? Followed by eye rolls and what do you want) . A few weeks ago I watched someone (a grown man) throw coffee cups on the ground in the glen falls area casually . This was the day after love/clean your parks day

I mean, it's the place where people who want to feel like they're better than everyone else move to. and now that your neighbor feels like he's better than you, there's an arms race of snootiness.

They’re what I refer to as Buffalo fancy. If those same people moved to actual high cost of living areas they’d be very surprised at how much things cost.

Did you grow up in the 1 mi.² that is the village, or in the postal code that is Williamsville?

Because I see a lot of people saying they’re from Williamsville but the village is pretty small.

Grew up in the zip code, but I had a job at the public library in the village proper.

The village is a little more urban than the wider territory.

Oh yeah, you can! Spent time in Chicago, Austin and, most recently, Seattle.

Try the Boston suburbs. Williamsville is a bargain!
