3rdand12 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Philadelphia is an amazingly historical with so much American history rolled up with in the Olde city. I mean sure its all dicked up now. But wow is it rich in history. A couple hundred plus years ago Philly was where it was happening. Seriously! But Cheese Wiz. Not me not now not ever. Layer that grilled roll with peppers onions and beef with Mozz please. Cheese wiz is not even in a food group I hear the champagne there will knock you out.

And old town is nice, but outside of like that 5 block radius and it really is a crappy downtown. Add in there the ridiculous city wage taxes and the crime that nucci mentioned and weather that is pretty much the same as Buffalo, and I am not sure they have the right to say anything. It's not like they are San Diego or something. Re cheesesteaks, you are right. I have never had a decent one in philly. Better cheesesteaks in WNY and Pittsburgh, in my view. Edit. For what it's worth, right around the year 1900, buffalo was objectively the greatest, most important city in the world. (And I say this as a Rochesterian!)

George Eastman Frank Lloyd Wright Harriet Tubman Frederick Douglass Susan B Anthony Son House and Wendy O Williams have rolled over in their graves and are suredly frowning upon you right now. Get a grip man ! Philly has the freaking Liberty Bell I means its got a crack problem, but they still have it don't they?

One disagreement...weather is much better...it does get hot in summer but mostly very mild...average 10 degrees warmer than Buffalo...of course some may not think that's better.......but I do.

Tu-Toned Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Why any reporter just takes a shot at a city and doesn't even know what he's talking about. I haven't lived in Buffalo for 25 years, and i do live in a nice city in Tampa, FL, but I love Buffalo. He doesn't get it. He glazed over one of the best parts of this city in it's people. My wife often tells me how there is a comradre among Buffalo people. She's watched me for years meet strangers from Buffalo, and we almost immediately hit it off. She says to me she doesn't know people from any other city like it. Buffalo will always be my home. Cheesesteak? Cheap crappy meat with cheese whiz on it. I'll take a Mighty Taco, or Blasdell Pizza any day of the week. Go Bills! Funny, my wife tells me the same exact thing every time we visit, about the people of Buffalo!I was born and raised there, and she is from Pittsburgh!

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Dogging another city is simply cheap, classless writing. He could have written a decent article about why the players came to Philly to play in Schwartz's defense, the succes they've had together and why. But, no, he plays the Philly-is-way-cooler-than-crappy-Buffalo card. Stellar job. That he thinks Lake Erie is 35 minutes from Buffalo shows you exactly how informed he is. And that he thinks Anchor Bar has "tremendous" wings shows you his level of taste. and level of exploration, maybe if he did more than cheap thrills he would find Buffalo has more to offer Snore.... In other enlightening news today we turned the clocks forward and amazingly there was a sunrise... which reminds me need to start a rally to eliminate day light savings and just stay on summer hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Who cares. Why do people get sensitive over this. it's not sensitive, it's called pride in were your from and we can say all the bad we want about it but when outsiders talk trash then you defend it. beef on weck >>>> cheesesteak depends on were you get it, I've had really good cheese steaks ... but not in Philly tho I grew up in Capital District, went to college in Rochester, one year grad school at UB; stayed for five years before moving to Portland, OR fifteen years ago. I loved Buffalo, and it would be my first choice if I ever moved back to upstate. But all of upstate is economically depressed and just not happening. No good paying jobs. I agree Buffalo gets short shrift from outsiders/press and the positives often get ignored. I've never run into people so sensitive about their city than Buffalonians. I also discovered that a significant slice of the population has never been outside of Erie County. Forty per cent of the population lives in poverty. People are still leaving Buffalo in droves. No new highrises downtown in at least thirty years. Twenty thousand burned out dilapidated houses. Go any major city and there are more people watching the Bills than any bar in Buffalo. What I do object to is the attitude that there aren't better places to live than Buffalo. There are. Plenty. We have no empty storefronts. More people are moving here than any other West Coast city. No blight. No run down areas at all. Very few poor people. More jobs than people to fill them. Jaw-dropping city and scenery. I agree with the reporter that no lake is "good enough" after one lives with the ocean nearby. Buffalo is great, but not the greatest place. Buffalo, Cleveland, and Philly are the dirtiest cities I've seen. But I like the "grit." I would appreciate constructive responses, rather than the typical "go to hell" responses. The reporter was actually pretty gentle on Buffalo compared to other stories I've read. Buffalo is great, but there must be a reason why one-half of the population moved out. One -half for Pete's sake! NFTA and soon to be TPP. soon we all be leaving America for China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) this guy is a joke. Clearly knows nothing about Buffalo if he thinks the Anchor Bar has the best wings. Sounds like the guy had a bad experience at the falls. Actually the entire article is quite pathetic, like he seemingly implies that it's Buffalo's fault he needs a passport to get into another country (and that getting a passport isn't a big deal). Perhaps he thinks Canada is part of the US? Edited March 14, 2016 by RyanC883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
