Note: Title is misspelled, I meant "Places to look into in Tioga County" Sorry about that.
Hello,
I previously asked on Broome County and the Southern Tier, and now out of curiosity, I am asking about Tioga.
I seem more interested in Waverley than Owego. I don't know, Owego doesn't seem to appeal to me, I think I'd rather hit JC or Vestal in Broome than Owego, but that's just me and what I've looked about, but leave Broome County out of this unless it compares.
As always, feel free to thrown in information about the whole county, your favorite town in it, your hometown in it, etc.
Thanks!

The village of Waverly seems a lot like Owego to me, Big victorian homes, simillar size in square mileage and population, but Waverlys general area outside of the village seems a lot more rural to me. The neighboring town of Barton, NY, not to offend anyone, seems pretty gross to me, very rednecky, country feel, there the only place I know that has a strip club run out of a double wide, the world famous Bare Facts. If you dont like rural I probably wouldn't recomend Waverly, although the village has a somewhat urban feel you still have quite a ways to commute to a city, which would probably be Elmira, NY.

Thanks, yeah I felt a bit weird about Waverley. How's Owego, can you get into more detail about that?
I have to ask. What about Ithaca do you despise? Not picking on you. I've been there a couple of times and besides being a very liberal college town, it didn't turn me off that much.
If you count Waverly as an economic unit with the mutually adjacent Boroughs (equivalent to a NY State Village) of South Waverly, Sayre, and Athens in Bradford County, PA, it adds up to a bigger place than Owego called "The Valley," with stores typically on the PA side (likely having to do with the 6% sales tax not on clothing or food). The border is fuzzy enough that roughly a mile of NY 17 expressway is actually in PA. Sayre has a destination hospital which seems to be the main economic engine of The Valley, and a daily newspaper http://morning-times.com/ that circulates in western Tioga County, NY as well as in PA.
But if you want the next level up for shopping, you're either that much further from Vestal, or you go the other way to the Horseheads/Big Flats area between Corning and Elmira.
