Buffalo isn’t that bad…there’s actually a lot going on if you look in the right places. I grew up in Minneapolis, which is one of the more well like cities around…and I’ve found that my transition to WNY has been much easier than I thought (3 years ago). Good people here (for the most part), big city feel without the population, plenty of outdoor activities year round, traffic is never THAT bad…
Grass could always be greener somewhere else, but it could be much worse too.
