Iron Island
                                Lovejoy, New York
The Lovejoy neighborhood in Buffalo was once owned entirely by Milliard Fillmore and was  used exclusively for farming. .  In 1850 it was sold and then parceled off into building lots.  Shortly after this the rail lines moved in and then came the people.  The neighborhood gets its nickname, Iron Island, from the rail lines that completely encircle it.   
Aside from one 'misunderstanding' I had a great experience here. Everyone was nice and the feeling of a tight knit community was pretty striking considering its location
