East Aurora is a quaint little village. It works extremely hard at being quaint. The businesses of the Main Street are barber shops, hair salons, restaurants, banks, drug stores, gas stations (mini marts), dress shops, a tack shop, local insurance agencies, lawyers and the like. The big Main Street retailer is Vidler's 5 and Dime. The claim to fame is it is the headquarters for Fisher Price Toys Division of Mattel, and the home of Elbert Hubbard’s Roycroft artisans.
At 6:30 on this Sunday morning there was more traffic than I anticipated on the quaint newly bricked Main Street. It was hard to get a 30 second exposure off without some vehicular interference.
Although I was a West Falls boy and went to Springville Griffith Institute High School, I still consider East Aurora home. There have been Niemans in this area for about 150 years. So I guess calling it home is ok.
