Some handsome Main Streets still exist in New York though rarely are they more then a block or more before replaced with parking lots and suburban style buildings.

Canastota Castle π°
One of these days I'll have to find out more about this unique building. Is it a church? A home built by an exotic individual or a rich man?

The Old Erie Canal has long been bypassed by the Barge Canal which runs into Oneida Lake about 10 miles to the north, but it still is a prominent feature in Canastota.
Black Dirt Country North of Canastota
Canastota also is home to some back country and was at one time famous for onion growing but a lot of the black dirt country up here either was used up or converted to other crops.
