In this episode Travel Man Dan travels back to the United States to his hometown, then travels just east to Batavia, New York to the famous chocolate store Oliver's Candies!!
This video was shot on site at the Oliver's Candies store in Batavia, New York-It is locally famous because of the amazing people on staff and the delicious chocolate and candies they make!
As a guy who grew up in Buffalo Im quite familiar with the wonderful chocolate sponge candy this store makes. But this was my first actual visit to the store, and although they no longer make the chocolate and candy inside the store, the taste is always the same recipe and it is a one of a kind flavor!
So often in life the candy we grew up with brings back that nostalgic feeling when we eat it- Oliver's is very famous throughout western New York not only for the fantastic chocolate but they are also very well know for the Ribbon candy that they make.
In this episode you will see me showcase a variety of items within the store, things like orange flavored sponge candy, chucks of peanut and white chocolate, real New York State maple syrup, disgusting jelly beans, old fashion candy sticks, liquor flavored chocolate and even if your in a pinch during the holidays you'll see Oliver's has prepackaged boxes of all variety of chocolates they make.
This was a great place to get some sweets and I took full advantage of the tasty treats as I went on a full frenzy of scrafing down almost everything in the store. This was such an extraordinary experience and if your ever near Batavia, New York be sure to stop by and say hello to the amazing staff working at Oliver's and stock up on their sponge candy!
Although my video shows my trip during the Christmas holiday Oliver's Candies is open year round and the ice cream parlor in the summertime looks epic!.

BATAVIA/Local activists would like to see Batavia become a sanctuary city
About 15-20 local activists stood on the corner of West Main street and Holland avenue on Saturday to express their dislike of the NYS Reproductive Health Act.
Some activists were pushing the thought of Batavia as a sanctuary city.
We would all love to see Batavia as the first sanctuary city nationwide, says activist/organizer Ann Maria Scalia.
We would love to shine a light on our little city as a community that defends life.
Others who stood outside the Planned Parenthood location, which was closed for the day, said they were there to let women know there are other options out there.
Mona Doyon of All Babies Cherished in Batavia says that women are not alone when they become pregnant.
Maybe they are homeless, we help them with housing, maybe they need help signing up with WIC or food stamps, we help them advocate for themselves, they take parenting classes, maybe they want to go back to school, they get encouraged when they come in, they have their own mentor, its a great program, says Doyon.
A representative from the Light House Station Maternity Home, located in Warsaw, was across the street from the activists and wanted to let women know there is a place for women and their babies to stay for up to 9 weeks following the birth of their baby.
Light House Station opened in November of 2018 and was 5 years in the making. The Maternity Home is a one of a kind in the GLOW region, with similar homes located in Buffalo and Syracuse.
We feel its one thing to say to a woman, don't have an abortion, and its another thing to say to her let us walk with you and that's what we do, we stand alongside the moms. I'm not here to be political, I'm not here to have an angry voice, I'm here to say let us stand with you, I know its hard, there is nothing harder, so let us support you, says Sarah Sutay of Light House Station.
In response to the activist statements outside of Planned Parenthood, Debora McDell-Hernandez, Senior Director of Public and Community Affairs at Planned Parenthood released this statement in regards to the NYS Reproductive Health Act:
On January 22, 2019, New York State scored a victory for women by safeguarding women’s access to safe and legal abortion with the Reproductive Health Act (RHA). This was necessary since the federal administration continues to attack reproductive health care. RHA accomplishes three important things. RHA recognizes that abortion is health care, not a crime, by moving abortion law from criminal law to public health law where it belongs. RHA brings the protection of Roe v. Wade into state law by ensuring that New Yorkers can access needed care throughout pregnancy when their health or life is endangered, or their pregnancy is not viable.
Finally, RHA clarifies that trained health care providers acting within their scope of practice can provide abortion care. This ensures that more New Yorkers have access to early and safe abortion care.
It is not surprising that those opposed to abortion have chosen to spread misinformation. There is no such thing as abortion during labor and delivery. Any suggestion otherwise is false and downright offensive to women who face pregnancy complications and the medical providers who care for them. It is appalling that in 2019, anti-choice extremists are still trying to shame women about their reproductive health care.

Words at War: Lifeline / Lend Lease Weapon for Victory / The Navy Hunts the CGR 3070
The United States Merchant Marine is the fleet of U.S. civilian-owned merchant vessels, operated by either the government or the private sector, that engage in commerce or transportation of goods and services in and out of the navigable waters of the United States. The Merchant Marine is responsible for transporting cargo and passengers during peace time. In time of war, the Merchant Marine is an auxiliary to the Navy, and can be called upon to deliver troops and supplies for the military.
Merchant mariners move cargo and passengers between nations and within the United States, operate and maintain deep-sea merchant ships, tugboats, towboats, ferries, dredges, excursion vessels, and other waterborne craft on the oceans, the Great Lakes, rivers, canals, harbors, and other waterways.
As of 2006, the United States merchant fleet numbered 465 ships[2] and approximately 100,000 members. Seven hundred ships owned by American interests but registered, or flagged, in other countries are not included in this number.
The federal government maintains fleets of merchant ships via organizations such as Military Sealift Command and the National Defense Reserve Fleet. In 2004, the federal government employed approximately 5% of all American water transportation workers.[3]
In the 19th and 20th centuries, various laws fundamentally changed the course of American merchant shipping. These laws put an end to common practices such as flogging and shanghaiing, and increased shipboard safety and living standards. The United States Merchant Marine is also governed by several international conventions to promote safety and prevent pollution.
The merchant marine is a civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Navy, but not a uniformed service, except in times of war when, in accordance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, mariners are considered military personnel. In a time of national emergency, the President can permanently seize any merchant marine vessel in return for fair compensation, or commandeer it for temporary use with no compensation if returned in reasonable condition.
Mariners are well represented in the visual arts. Merchant seaman Johnny Craig was already a working comic book artist before he joined up, but Ernie Schroeder would not start drawing comics until after returning home from World War II. Seaman Haskell Wexler won two Academy Awards, the latter for a biography of his shipmate Woody Guthrie.
Merchant sailors have also made a splash in the world of sport. Drew Bundini Brown was Muhammad Ali's assistant trainer and cornerman, and Joe Gold went made his fortune as the bodybuilding and fitness guru of Gold's Gym. In football, Dan Devine and Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sinkwich excelled. Seamen Jim Bagby, Jr. and Charlie Keller played in Major League Baseball. In track and field, seamen Cornelius Johnson and Jim Thorpe both won Olympic medals, though Thorpe did not get his until thirty years after his death.
Writers Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Ralph Ellison, Herman Melville, and Jack Vance and were merchant mariners, as were prominent members of the Beat movement: Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke, Bob Kaufman, Jack Kerouac, and Dave Van Ronk. Peter Baynham, the coauthor of the film Borat, and Donn Pearce, who wrote the movie Cool Hand Luke, were formerly merchant mariners. Filmmaker Oliver Stone won multiple Academy Awards.
WWII-era merchant mariners played well-known television characters. The list includes Raymond Bailey (who played Milburn Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies); Peter Falk (who played the title character on Columbo); James Garner (who played Jim Rockford on The Rockford Files); Jack Lord (who played Steve McGarrett on the original Hawaii Five-0); Carroll O'Connor (who played Archie Bunker on All in the Family); Denver Pyle (who played Uncle Jesse Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard); and Clint Walker (who played Cheyenne Bodie on Cheyenne).
Songwriter and lyricist Jack Lawrence was a mariner during World War II and wrote the official United States Merchant Marine song, Heave Ho! My Lads, Heave Ho! while a young lieutenant stationed at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, in 1943.
Writer/businessman Robert Kiyosaki claimed to have been a mariner.
Paul Teutul, Sr., the founder of Orange County Choppers and Orange County Ironworks, was a merchant mariner during the Vietnam War.
