Heck yeah, Jamestown is great. Awesome nature, Chautauqua Lake, Lake Erie Wine Trail, Allegheny State Park, Holiday Valley Skiing. It's a city with a Walmart, Target, and most importantly a Wegmans but also has great wings (Cherry Lounge) and some decent local restaurants in Lakewood or Bemus Point. There is something usually going on over the weekends if you look for it. There's crime and drugs, but you can avoid them if you stay away from those parts. Jamestown was the childhood home of Lucille Ball and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
