We ain' got us all that many foreshores here in the Finger Lakes. The Finger Lakes are glacier carved bodies of water with steep sides. The only dwellings on the lake shore are upscale summer homes; the access tends to be limited in the winter due to steep driveways getting iced in. When you get up into the flat lands above the lakes you get old (we're talking ~150 years as old; it's relative) farm structures in the areas that tornadoes don't tend to come through leaving the tornado alleys free. This is where the trailer parks go.

Dear Faldage: As a quibble, the Finger Lakes as I understand it were not "carved" by the glaciers' ice, but rather eroded by their meltwater.

And they call *me a pedantic nitpicker (or is that nitpicking pedant?).
