I left Cheektowaga for Florida in 1973 after 20 years in the area and a tour with the Navy in Iceland. I was sick of the cold and snow. I have never lost my love for the Buffalo people, the food (Anchor Bar, John & Mary's Subs, Ted's Hot Dogs etc). Plus, I have never lost my love for the Bills & the Sabres. I return once in a while to visit relatives and attend a Bills & Sabres game. The only thing I have lost my love for in the area is the BS going on with the NFL, the Bills and Toronto (I won't go into that crap).
The Buffalo area will always be my home...Florida is where I live and where I play golf and ride the motorcycle 12 months a year (with some exceptions).
Buffalo natives always know a transplant because we always wear our BILLS hats, shirts and have genuine Buffalo Wings at poker games.
I'll be in the stands when the Bills come to Jacksonvile on Sept. 14th.
