Anyone from Salamanca or Jamestown, or maybe Chautauqua itself?
Grew up in Cleveland, family had lake property inside Chautauqua Institution. Actually, our heritage goes back to the founders and if my history holds right it started as a Mehodist Sunday School Teachers Education area. Family lives there and Jamestown still, I haven't been back there in years but spent every summer there till I was out of college. There's even a park inside named after a relative. Only place I know where BMW's and such are parked next to half a million dollar shacks. Tiny homes all packed together with no yards at all inside the gates. There's parks of course but limited yards for the homes.

Sha-Ta-Kwa is I guess how I'd pronounce it.

A great place, opera houses, learning courses, libraries, philosphy halls, programs every night at the amp and during the day, courses offered in a variety of things from music to computers to everything else.

When the airline announced I just about fell over with the name. Now that CO announced their partnership or whatever with them I fell off my chair again.
