It's a small town on North Shore of Long Island. If you knew your geography, it's in New York. Specifically east of NYC. It's a really nice area to live in. But if you're just visiting, there really isn't anything special to it; Just a regular town. You'd be surprised how many famous people today, grew up here in the past. Also, it's on the North Shore - the NICER part of Long Island. Schools are among the best on the Island, so that's another thing to look forward to. Yeah, there's inconsiderate people, but it's like that everywhere, and there's no way you can change that. Just deal with it because you're no wizard who can change people, no matter how much you wish to be. Also, you've probably heard this place is domninant Jews. I can answer that question with a simple "yes". That's Long Island for ya. There's also other religions, so if you're not Jewish, you're not left out. I have no idea, though, if this is considered a "rich" area. I only know our taxes are amonst the highest in America. To make it all clear in a short version, think of it as a town that you don't think is all too great, but better than you really think it is.
Plainview, New York - another regular town in Long Island.

Seriousley... Why are all upstate people considered hicks? I do not know. I live in a town called Lake George which is one of the most heavily toured areas in the state. As well as one of the richest in the state. If upstate New York was a bunch of hicks do you really think that Derek Jeter, or DMX, or Jay-Z would buy lake front mansions? I dont think so. Get a grip.
Upstate New York houses some of the richest people in the country, as well as holds some of the most beautiful scenery and lakes in the country.

A town in western N.Y. A once large industrious town that, through poor governmental choices and lay offs, has become a town full of Churches, Doctors offices, Bars and Pharmacies and Welfare.
Those running the fine town think its better to cater to the few people that visit to see the many shrines of the apparent Queen Lucy, (Whom was actually born in Celron, New York and only lived there in Jamestown for a short period of time.) rather then its many residents in need of decent housing and jobs. Thus causing and maintaining the need for its people to either depend on County, State and Federally funded programs or Become Drug dealers to even sustain enough income to keep their children.
Some would figure that it would be easier to move OUT of Jamestown then... however this is mistaken. The surrounding area requires an income of double or more to merely maintain the same quality of life as living in Jamestown. Transportation for example: A 10 trip bus ticket for in town trips is approx. $28. 10 trips in an adjoining town (for same distance trips) is around $40... a cab trip in town is $5.50-$6.50(depending on the cab co.) , a same distance trip in an adjoining town $12-$20...the same goes for utilities and rent.
To the positive, there is an ice rink and a lot of small shops and a Tim Horton.
In short...Jamestown NY is a place to visit, so long as you don't plan to stay
Oh my goodness, your From Jamestown, New York, I feel sorry for you!
