You could literally move somewhere else, make 3x of what you could in Buffalo, save up, then move back rich; retire a king. The Low income residents in Buffalo live better than the middle class in Mexico! As far as what generation ruin Buffalo?Not any particular generation,more so a particular mindset. That mindset would be Liberal,Progressive and the Democratic party! 1 minute ago, Buffaloflash said: I view Blue Collar as a positive!

stony Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 23 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said: Definitely. I made less money coming back to Buffalo after a promotion and 4 years experience than I did as a fresh grad of 3 weeks in Seattle. I effectively capped the salary range for my profession in Buffalo at age 25. I immediately doubled my salary upon moving to Austin. Have been twice in past few months for work. Loved it.

I have been trying to convince my Pats*** bride to move back since the day we were married to no avail. I haven't given up ? Wife and I decided to move back. We move back in October. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your tone and and lack of respect is uncalled and frankly unfounded. I see that you were triggered (not my intent), but you need to get a grip. Take a deep breath and think before you react. Kk Have A Great Day. You are special and important!!! Don’t ever forget that. That's a response from someone who realizes they are in over their head and wants to save face.

Sorry your Buffalo vibe is dead but you can stay the hell away and STFU. On 8/30/2018 at 6:29 PM, BuffaloButt said: I'm a life long Bills fan from So. California who went to a Bills game in Buffalo for the first time last year (I've to some of their games in CA, not fun rooting for the road team)! Anyway, my experience was so awesome it's hard to describe to non-Bills fans. The unity of a community who has had to deal with some tough emotional decades both highs and too many lows! The difference with being there at the game with 60K Bill's fans all wanting the same thing that we have been hoping for someday, a Championship! I was left impressed with the community (craziness with tailgating and all) that we are one and can support each other daily through this forum. Keep being supportive of fellow Bills fans (especially in this forum), we are one! I love Buffalo and the community! Go Bills!! that's what it's all about! welcome!
