L.C. Whitford selling Wellsville bar the contractor bought in 2025
A former Wellsville sports bar is back on the market. Again. L.C. Whitford Co. is selling the building at 166 N. Main St. that the general contractor purchased last September for $135,000, according to Allegany County real property records. At the time, L.C. Whitford said it planned to convert the former Better Days bar and grill into offices for company employees. The popular night spot closed for good on Aug. 31, 2025, leaving a gaping hole in Wellsville's nightlife scene. L.C. Whitford is headquartered at 164 N. Main St., next door to 166 North Main. In announcing the deal for Better Days , L.C. Whitford President Brad Whitford said the company was out of space at 164 N. Main St. The space crunch was even impacting hiring, with hire decisions sometimes based on how much room was available instead of how many workers were needed. The family-owned-and-operated general contractor employs roughly 250 people. Instead, L.C. Whitford has decided to sell the property, with the two-story, 5,000 square-foot building in the heart of downtown Wellsville now available for $175,000 through Homestar Realty . Whitford said the company decided to go in a different direction — literally. “We are in expansion mode

Battle brewing over short-term rentals in Fair Haven
There's a large dispute in a small corner of central New York and the issue is how much tourism is too much. The village of Fair Haven in Cayuga County wraps around Little Sodus Bay, which connects to Lake Ontario. About 1,000 people live in the village, though some leave for warmer and less windblown winters in the south and southwest, while the community swells with activity between Memorial Day and Labor Day as tourists and seasonal residents return to the water's edge.
