Here are the ABC's of Fairport, NY:

1.Abbotts

Based out of Rochester NY, Abbotts has the best frozen custard, and is a fan favorite in Fairport.

Sorry Long Islanders, we have better bagels here.

3. Canal Days

The best time of the year. From henna tattoos, to live music, you go no matter rain or shine.

4. Deer

You'll see them in your backyard, when you're driving, and sometimes, when you're in gym class at the high school.

Fairport wouldn't exist without it. If you haven't been on the Colonial Belle at least once, did you really grow up here?

The elusive glass house. You've heard of it, but it's harder to find than it seems.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
