Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 2088057, member: 156"] Just to clarify, the village is pronounced Ma-DINE-na, as opposed to the song Funky Cold Ma-DEE-na. It was a financially-thriving community up until 1995 when Mattel shut down its Fisher-Price plant. That event really hurt Medina which has slowly lost population since that happened (not unlike most Upstate New York communities). Despite that, the people here continue to sustain a very picturesque downtown with historic buildings and it's a nice little place to live and raise kids. 35 minute drive from Buffalo, 45 minute drive from Rochester. Roughly 30 miles directly north of Darien Lake.
