You can get anywhere you ever need to go, in less then 10 minutes. Even at $10.00 per gallon, Buffalo is WAY ahead of the Atlanta's' of this nation. Buffalo has something like no other place, Buffalo has a SOUL. Buffalo is a piece of Heaven on earth. Buffalo has MILD winters, when compared to Chicago! Buffalo has one of the finest Universities in the WORLD! With a med school, engineering school, you name it, all as good as the best. Power to the People of Buffalo! There is no place like home!

Buffalo is coming back though.

Really? There's a Tops in the heart of the east side with produce.

I luv Buffalo!!! This video is only showing the bad side of the city (every city has one). They aren't showing the Theatre District, the Entertainment District, Hertel Ave. , Conneticut St. & Grant Street Revival, expanding Medial Campus, Main Street re-development (brining two way and traffic back to the pedestrian mall). The music scene, the ART scene (Buffalo has been voted the #1 Arts Destination by American Style Magazine two years in a row).

This is sad, I've never lived in the city itself, I'm from the suburbs (East Amherst) but I love where I'm from, and I wish we could turn Buffalo around. I go to college down at UVA and really want to work back in Buffalo but it's hard to find jobs. I'd like to start my own company and bring it back to Buffalo. Hopefully it could provide some jobs.

The mayer said we are in a boom He is a flat out lier he wants to make himself look good he is geting us further and further in debt all this new stuff they are puting up in the city is empty

If I had money and didn't have to work, I would love to move back to one of the old northern industrial cities just to get away from the overcrowded cesspool that is Florida.

to many taxes and Guv drive business away from buffalo, that is the main reason why we havent seen it develop

Elmwood isn't the only area thriving. There's also Hertel, Allentown, Chippewa. There's neighborhoods in the Delaware corridor of Buffalo that have seen their value double in the last 10 years.

There IS major construction downtown: waterfront condos, New Era, the new Federal Courthouse. The Aud is finally torn down, the Canal Slip has opened.

Every city has its warts. For every Hollywood, there's a South Central. For every Riverdale, Bed-Stuy. Atlanta & Miami are dangerous too.
