Many people in surrounding WNY think that Lockport is a hick town. But it defintly is not. It is a booming city. And unfortunely for me, Ive been living here for 16 years and have just begun to see the beauty of it. There are fine restaruants, beautiful parks along the Erie canal, a large library, exquisite houses and historical buildings, fun downtown shops and cafes, amazing opportunities for everyone, quick access to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and not to mention the landmark locks and their museum. I would encourage anyone to come here. Even if its only for a day.
