T minus two months till the big move...
HERE WE COME BUFFALO!!! are you ready for us?
or, more appropriately, are we ready for you?
not really... i need a job and i need an apartment.... its rather nervewracking to be so close to the move and yet so far from being ready... i have no idea what my life will be like in two months. All i know is that I'll be with my lady. I'm just going to go with it.
rock on.
anyone have a job or an apartment that you want to offer me?

i don't think i know how to use this website... but at any rate - thanks for all the replies that i didn't see that i had till now...
move date is scheduled for july 1 or so - everything is quite crazy for now - i still don't have a job OR apartment!
my girlfriend is attending UB... so here we come... we are moving from New Paltz, NY. I guess that since I'm moving from such a liberal town to elsewhere i'm wondering if i'm going to be in for a shock with buffalo... i'm excited for it yet still cautious... i guess time will tell, eh?

welcome.
It's hard to say if you would like Buffalo without knowing what you like.
Buffalo is a city with character. It reminds me of an aging movie star down on her luck hoping to make a comeback.
There's lots of good restaurants in the Buffalo area. And, if (e:peeps) are to be believed, there are plenty of opportunities for partying.
Buffalo has a very good art museum and a symphony orchestra. It also has a couple of professional sport teams.
One day, my wife, (e:leetee) and I were driving through Buffalo on the way to Hamilton, ON (which incidentially is the Buffalo of Ontario) and she said "ha ha ha we could always move to Buffalo" in a sarcastic way. And much to her surprise and mine, we moved here a couple of years later after doing lots of research.
We really like living in Buffalo but it's not a city for everyone. But then, no city is.

I hope you like it! It would totally suck to move to a new city and find out you think it blows. I reckon it depends on your standards.
Where you moving from?
If you don't mind a bit of cold.. and i don't mean (e:lilho)'s attitude towards her hometown, then i think you will do just fine.

I think like a lot of cities there will be things that (based on your personality and political outlook) you will like and dislike about Buffalo. Welcome to the site I hope you enjoy it and that you interact with other (e:peeps) in a positive way.

prime time! wow that was a blast from the past... i've had some... er... interesting moments at that place!
yes i'll be sorry leave these beautiful mountains behind, but alas, we must move on right?
I'm not sure where we are moving to in buffalo - whereever is cheap.. my lady will be attending grad school at UB so i think we will try to stay near the north campus - but we may venture down to elmwood if we find something perfect!
craiglist does, indeed, rule... i've been checking daily... perhaps hourly!?
Oh, and I see you are moving from New Paltz.
I am from Putnam County origonaly and I have dated a few people in New Paltz. Once upon a time, I partied at club Prime Time before they closed.
Buffalo is a lot of fun. I just hope you don't miss the catskills.
www.buffalo.craigslist.com is your new best friend.
Job listings? You got it.
Apartments? Up the wazzo.
And while it is on topic, is wazzo another name for anus?
No, that is off topic.
Welcome to Buffalo. It is a grand ol' burg.
Do you know what area you'll be in, or are you still not sure?
foraging is the way of life.... sounds perfect!
I think you'll be ready for us - we are a simple people that rely on foraging and trading with other like-minded tribes to survive.
Ok, I'm only kidding... but welcome anyway!
