Used to live in Buffalo - now live in Raleigh. Each have their ups and downs and neither is perfect. When I bleed it's snow, taxes, Bills and Sabres. Never will I root for the Canes, Panthers or Bobcats. That being said I love it here. I've not once been downsized out of a job. (3x in last 2 years in Buffalo) My electric bills (no gas) even at the peak of summer don't come anywhere near the gas bills I was paying in a house 3/4 the size in Buffalo. Houses cost more but the property tax is lower. (I'd rather pay for a house than a politician) Politics down here in Carolina are just as corrupt as they are up there. Our former Governor will probably be in jail within the next year. A top legislator and several others are already there keeping the soap wet so to speak. Down here you will not find anything that resembles the fine heritage celebrations that occur sprinkled through out the year. They wouldn't know a Dingus from their St. Patrick amongst others
Walking out of the stadium Sunday was awesome. Buffalo fans were so loud and high fiving each other on the way out you would have thought we'd won the freakin Superbowl. The folks on talk radio are absolutely beside themselves. How could you lose the f****** Bills. Fox must go!!!
Anyway, you folks should worry less about which place is better and celebrate the victory that we share with the team we love. We're not likely to have too many to cheer about.
