i agree with everything except 13 and 14, and we do have 4 here. also i miss jims steak out and ETS and playing hockey. i also miss my old job and obviously my girl.

22

Yeah thats what I would miss the most about Buffalo is the food/friends…but especially the food, cuz you can always email friends.

23

i miss dennis in his boxers

24

I live in buffalo(burbs)
the one thing i miss about Buffalo
Bubble tea.

25

ok - more things I miss -

  1. Pumice
  2. Pumice’s near unnatural attraction to young girls
  3. The size of Katie’s skirts
  4. Canadian Ballet
  5. Bar hopping Lundy’s Lane
  6. How anal Tom Klemman is with his car
  7. How anal Ralph was with his Orange SS
  8. Rick tha ruler
  9. Dominic The Blue Power Ranger (RIP)
  10. The blowoff valve Howie had in his A4 that sounded like the brakes of a bus
  11. the cheep liquor and smokes at the duty free
  12. the cheep smokes and gas at the res
  13. proximity to niagara falls and toronto
  14. Gin Gin’s and 99 (those are merely for nostalgic reasons - the food out here is actually much better)

And for those of you who think the roads in Buffalo are bad - wait till you see them in the rest of the country. SF probably 2x as many potholes / broken roads as WNY does - and with the natural hills and such, its hard to imagine how ricers with 2+ inch drops get around…

Oh - and there is no Super Walmart in the Bay Area - there’s a regular walmart by the oakland airport but its in a scary neighborhood - like way worse than the East Side scary.

And b/c space is limited in SF itself, there is no room for drive thru anythings.

ah god man

<— moving to NC in a bit

fuck this place… and SF, not too into it from what you’re saying so far :slight_smile:

Things I miss about Buffalo:

  1. Timmy Hos

I think that is about it.

28

Tim Hortons will expand now that it’s its own entity.

29

where do you live now?

30

My fiance and I are seriously considering moving to Raleigh or Fayetteville in a year after we get married. I’d miss things like the food (wings/beef on weck), snow during the Christmas season, friends/famly, and that’s about it.

I want to go someplace where you can’t get snow tires and nobody knows what seasonal depression is. I want to trade the Jetta for RWD vert (MR2 Spyder, stook, SN95 Cobra vert), grill comfortably all year long, and pay $1000/year in property tax. (Right now I have relatively “low” property tax and it’s around $3000/year. 8-12k/year is not uncommon here for a nice house in a nice community.)

We’ll come back to Buffalo eventually to have kids near our families, but for a few years I want to live someplace where they average more than 155 sunny days per year.

Boston, MA.

So it seems that I will not be missing Timmy Hos for much longer :slight_smile: They actually have them in RI which is about 30 min away :slight_smile:

If I waited to get my car, I would have saved almost $1200 in taxes.

32

watch out for the smug :stuck_out_tongue:

33

Ohh snap, I am going to san fran on the 17th of April for 10 days.

34

SF is more than I could ever ask for / dream of for a an international city. SF is absolutely the only place that I would ever want to live. I just wanted to start a thread about some of the things I missed about the place i called home for 13 years.

One of these days I’ll start a thread about the things I love about SF, but most people will probably not find it terribly interesting. One thing that really blows my mind about this place is the fact that nearly 25% of the population is Chinese. As a demographic, Chinese-Americans actually hold significant politicial and financial power.

35

hahaha and thanks for not missing me asshole! :-p

36
