An All America City
Have you ever, all of a sudden, realized that you are in love with someone?
And then have you ever been cerebrally pissed off at your feelings, but couldn't change anyways?
Naw me neither.
But I did realize this weekend that I really like (NO, NOT LOVE!) Buffalo.
Once I realized this, I recoiled, but I think the damage has allready been done.
Fuck you Buffalo, I think I love you.
I mean, Buffalo has its problems. We all are aware of this.
The city proper is beat. Its been decayed, decaying at least as long most of the people on (e:strip) have been alive. (Roughly)
Get out of your happy place and just drive down Main St or Broadway, William, etc, ad infinitum. A fucking shell. Shit-town.
Contrast that shell to the throbbing mass that is the hulk of the suburb mass in the Greater Area.
You can almost look at it like a star swelling before it goes SuperNova, or a heart, balooning as as the patient suffers from congestive heart failure.
Well, nothing as dramatic as that.
Similar difference though.
Plus many other items, but the decay is what consistantly gets me.
But I still like this place. I compare every other city I vist to Buffalo. Fuck, thats twisted.
The music, the food, the streets, even the crappy lake.
Maybe if i was more articulate, I could help explain it, but it seems like most of the people here allready understand what Good about Buffalo anyhow.
(I changed roots to and from work. Instead of taking the thru-way to Dunkirk each day, I've been taking Rt 5. Much better) (screw parentheses)
Taking Route 5 is fucking awesome. The city really looks like a sexy bitch from like Woodlawn.
But my favorite is the skyway. The SKYWAY!!! The way to the future!
Actually its a pretty obsolete future. Some decades ago, the skyway was the shit. Cars in the sky!
I get vertigo thinking about the difference in decades, from when the skyway was awesome, and where we are today.
But that view of the city, coming up over the skyway, gets me every time.
Continue that drive up along 190 by the water, and under the Bridge, and I'm in love.
Reluctantly in Love.
Fucker.
