Rock City, that is....
When in Olean, NY, be sure to visit this quite amazing geological formation, the largest quartz conglomerate in the world. Apparently it's a prehistoric ocean floor bed that survived many geological catastrophes. Imagine a huge expanse of rock, cut into pieces, with all manner of crevices, caves and tiny passage ways (one aptly labeled "Fat Man's Squeeze), it's also a great place for a 9-year-old boy to get lost and only mildy freak out his parents.

Rock on!!!
Olean, NY reminded me of the town in Groundhog Day; it has the same open, wholesome feeling, but also a preoccupation with small rodents. Apparently the squirrel is the town symbol, and there were dozens of decorated giant squirrels, sponsored by local businesses.
