    thanks for posting that buffalo video. I've seen it floating around facebook, but have never taken the time to actually watch it. It's a great video... makes buffalo look wonderful.

    I have to admit, I was not psyched to move to Buffalo when I found out I was going. But after five years, I was sad to leave. And now I have some Buffalo pride, and I defend the city when people make fun of it. And I think it's one thing when someone from NYC/Chicago/Boston looks down their nose and goes 'ew, Buffalo'. But when someone from Hartford goes 'ew, Buffalo, bet you were glad to get out of there' I want to say "to come here?!" I mean really.... Hartford kind of reminds me of Buffalo, but with less to do. Not that it's a bad place... I've met great people and am having a good experience. But for hartford to make fun of Buffalo is the pot calling the kettle black.

    And, to be fair, that video says 'when people think of buffalo, they think of snow and rust'. (I would have thought they'd say snow and wings, but that's just me.) And then they went on and showed how great Buffalo is. IN THE SUMMER. And I agree- Buffalo in the summer is glorious. But the winter.... ehhh.... not as glorious. There are no farmer's markets/outdoor festivals/concerts/etc in the winter, which is what the whole video was about. And unfortunately, winter is much longer than summer.
