  1. Been a lurker for awhile, just moved to Buffalo after moving away for five years. My wife was able to actually get substantial raise to come home and I'm making pretty much the same. It's a great idea to get out of town and build your resume experience and accomplishments then try to get a job or start a business in Buffalo. It worked out for us. Also we laugh at the prospect of a mortgage payment here that can be half of paying $1500/month for a crappy boring Washington DC apartment like we did.

     

    Also, while living in places like South Florida and visiting Vegas and other boomtowns lots of the people, and really the youth, just seems to be off a bit. Quite a statement I know but let me explain. We pursued the move home because we wanted our children to shovel snow at 5AM, live in an underdog town (in so many ways) and appreciate what they have. It's tough when it's 80, sunny everyday and jobs fall from the sky to grow up tough and able to handle adversity. Growing up here just gives you that added chip on your shoulder to take through life.

     

    Just my observations from some of the places that I lived and traveled. I talked to so many former Buffalonians at Bills bars and other places throughout the country who agreed with me. One guy said it kills him that his kids are growing up with southern accents, and don't understand why he gets so wrapped up in the Bills and Sabres, and the outcomes of the games.

     

    Plus, underatted but our airport is great and getting better. It's cheap and can get you anywhere quick and increasingly non-stop. I belive Buffalo is a great home base and I'm glad to be back.
