The family I was adopted by, on my father's side, are all originally from Bradford, PA. I spent some time there as a kid but all I really remember is all of the local pride surrounding the Zippo factory. I've also spent a considerable amount of time at the NY State Thruway I-90 rest stop in Webster driving to/from NYC over the years.
