Pete Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I love Buffalo because I grew up there, I had awesome neighbors and friends, and I love how friendly, down to earth, and helpful Buffalo natives are, and I thank them very much for helping shape me into the man I am today!

EasternOHBillsFan Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) No other city offers the perfect storm of sports, food, and Canada right next door!!!!! What is Detroit famous for anyways food wise, what you find in a trash can? Edited June 28, 2012 by BmoreBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree. Moved away from WNY in 1989. Now I work and live in Miami, but still proud to be from the Buffalo area. My daughter was a Cheerleader for the Bills too, now she a successful doctor in Buffalo. Lots of good friends and memories !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I love Buffalo because... I was born in Buffalo, at Childrens Hospital.. My mom was one of 10 siblings, and the only one who left Buffalo and moved me down to Northern Virginia when I was 1..... Yet every summer I got to spend in Buffalo, with my aunts, uncles and cousins, in the Langfield Housing Projects, and although my family was poor, those were the absolute greatest summers of my life.... Because I always come home every year for a Bills game... And because my trip isn't complete until I've had wings from LaNova's, a steak sandwich from Rick's, and a couple tacos from Mighty Taco...and some pizza from Bocce's....

OUTSIDE OF THE OF COURSE FAMILY, FRIENDS, GREAT PEOPLE, AND A WORKING CLASS (EVEN IF WHITE COLLAR) ATTITUDE YOU JUST DON'T HAVE IN OTHER PLACES.

BuffaloWest Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I love Buffalo because it is STILL home...even though I have been gone since 1990. My best friends and coolest people I have known are Buffalonians. If you are from Buffalo, you are part of a fraternity for life. Everytime I return I feel "plugged in" to my roots, maybe it is because part of my heart is still in Buffalo, when I return I feel whole again-complete.I miss it there-a lot. Beyond That... * Bills games at Rich Stadium * 97 Rock * Anchor Bar and Big Tree Inn Wings * Chesnut Ridge & Gaslit Falls * Holiday Valley and Kissing Bridge * Orchard Park * Sabres Games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 . . . of the people. It's funny...I haven't lived in Buffalo since 1993, and yet every time I meet someone down here who is also from WNY there is an almost instant kinship. EVERYBODY from Buffalo wants to talk about the Bills and Sabres, and it's a bond you just can't break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I love Buffalo because I was born there, and grew up in S Buffalo. Have not lived there since '70, but it's home. Just drove 70+ miles, each way, to get to Wegans in Fredericksburg VA., for my; Sahlens hot dogs, Webers, Bison Dip, etc. I do that every 4-5 weeks on the not so scenic, but thus far Toll free, I-95. I miss it BUT, not enough to move back to the NY taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I love Buffalo because... I was born in Buffalo, at Childrens Hospital.. My mom was one of 10 siblings, and the only one who left Buffalo and moved me down to Northern Virginia when I was 1.....

Because I always come home every year for a Bills game... And because my trip isn't complete until I've had wings from LaNova's, a steak sandwich from Rick's, and a couple tacos from Mighty Taco...and some pizza from Bocce's.... I was born at Sister's Hospital. My parents moved me down to DC when I was 6. Like you, I spent every summer in BLo up through my High School years. We'd return for Thanksgiving. Then come back for Christmas. Then in the Spring. So even though I wasn't living there year around I still felt like it was home. I still go online and read the Buff News. I used to go to Training Camp and scrimmages and pre-season with my Uncles and Cousins. Since Grad School I return for one regular season game a year with my father and cousins. Buffalo means family. Love it. The beautiful summer and fall. The first snow fall. The Looooooooooooooooooong Winter and Spring. LoL. And it was always home, even after we moved away. Bocce's, Ted's, GiGi's, Parkside Candies and a bunch of other great mom and pop food spots that have long since closed. And a special shout out to Mighty Taco who sponsored my first little league team in Shoshone Park. No place is perfect, but there is a lot to love about Buffalo. I think the thing about Buffalonians, even those that have moved away for various reasons, we all never lose that affection for the city. And I CANNOT STAND people talking slick about the city and have never even been there to know how wrong they are. I love the neighborly atmosphere. The family atmosphere. Even though times change and Buffalo needs new industries to carry it into the future, I LOVE the blue collar roots of the city. My grandfather's worked for Amtrak and General Motors. My father and uncles spent time working at Bethlehem Steel in the summers during school. Buffalo is a city of workers and nothing lasting happens without work. I'm a Western New Yorker til the day I die. Edited June 28, 2012 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
