Any book clubs?

So I've grown up loving to read, I'm 20 years old and have recently dived more into my kindle. I never had much luck with friends, and I just really want like minded friends, I really want to connect with people. I love art, reading, video games, I'm queer, and exploring myself away from being raised Christian. I'm just lonely and wanting to make friends.

Squirrel statues

Why is there so many squirrel statues in the olean/ jamestown area? Especially in the DT area next to JCC, there's a bunch of squirrel statues scattered around the town. What's the significance?

New to the area

Howdy folks! I will be moving to the Olean area next month to be closer to my family and I’m moving from a decent sized city in south Texas, and while excited for the change I’m worried I’ll have trouble finding a job, will be bored on my days off, or have a hard time meeting new people. Any tips for the move or suggestions of things to do would be amazing. I’m 26F and single, I like being social, love nature (the main thing I’m excited for). I’m very open to trying new things/ driving outside of town to check things out. Thanks in advance!!!

Anyone remember the name of the road between Bowlean and Perkins?

I remember that there was a road from West State going to the strip off of Independence in between Bowlean and Perkins. But I can’t remember the name of it.

Safest place to stay in Olean?

Hi. I am contemplating to move in Olean. Which part of Olean is considered safest? As an alternative, I am looking in other places like Allegany, Portville, Salamac, Hornell, and Bradford. I tried to search for any place to stay in Olean and noticed that some of open listing places are sketchy. Any suggestion(s) is most appreciated.

If you drive Uber or Lyft in Olean, please DM me

I operate a wedding/event venue on the outskirts of Olean. I'm looking to get in touch with a couple folks who drive rideshare in the Olean area to see if I might be able to text you when we're having an event to see if you're driving that night, or even let you know if we'll have people looking for rides. Please DM me if you might be interested in being an Uber DD for our guests.

Fresh local farmer's produce in Olean?

Hi, I'm in town occasionally staying at a family cabin near Olean. Where can I pick up some fresh produce from local farms? I stopped at a couple places on 417 that were called farm markets but seemed to mostly be nurseries (bought some nice plants). But their produce selection was just a few items on a couple tables. Bought a pint of cherry tomatoes and after trying them they were clearly not local produce at all. Crunchy and flavorless. Was really disappointed. Are there any actual farmer's markets that sell local produce?

What was the name of the restaurant on top of a mountain that may have had a western theme?

I’m trying to think of a restaurant that has been closed for years where my family went to eat in the early 80s late 70s

Planning to move to Olean

Hi I am planning to move to Olean NY. I just want to know how is it like to live in Olean. Why are so many houses for sale? Is Olean a dying city or is it somehow surviving? how's job opportunities and safety. I checked, and many houses are just sold, so it must be a good place. I've never been in Olean. Your answer will be appreciated. Thank you.
