Skins Malone Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 51 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: All places are definitely not the same. There are all kinds of opportunities presented in large cities that are completely lacking in WNY. Having said that, there is certainly stuff to do in WNY, and suggesting that there is "nothing" to do there is wrong. Don't forget Pegula trying to hire Mike Babcock to coach the Sabres. There was much to do about his wife not wanting to leave Detroit... Turns out she was OK moving to TO apparently. What I meant was there are things to do everywhere. When a place is new its exciting there are things to do..but eventually eventually every place is pretty much the same in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I don’t know about her, but Micah Hyde has lived in Fostoria, Oh, Iowa City, and Green Bay, WI. I guarantee orchard park ny is the nicest place he’s ever lived and Buffalo has more to do than any of his previous addresses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who isn’t from Buffalo. I have to say I love visiting up there. I have a second property a little past windham in a small town, and there is truly nothing to do there. That’s where me, and my family hunt. The closest shopping mall is in Albany. I currently live on Long Island 20 minutes from the Hamptons and it’s nothing special.

The question is whether things missing are worth not taking a job which for most players is at most 6 months of a year. If you have an alternate which pays nearly as well then take the job which makes you and your family the happiest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterDude Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Buffalo cannot hold a candle to San Diego in any measure, sorry. She is saying what Buffalonian's want to hear, that's all. He sister is a lot cuter than her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who's left but visits often, has tons of family there and is aware of the progress Buffalo has made, I will defend Buffalo when people s**t on it but there also exists this "look at us, we've arrived, we have a few food trucks, our population is stagnant rather than it plummeting every year, there's so much to do here now, it's just like Brooklyn" mentality in Buffalo that I think some people need to pump the brakes on a little bit. OK, a lot. The truth is most definitely in the middle. Yes, it does not suck, if you can't find anything to do, you need to look in the mirror. But if you are used to living in a bigger city, it's still a little hokey and your options are rather limited.

transient Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Grew up in the south towns, went to college in central New York, lived in Buffalo from my early 20s - early 30s, and have lived in Ann Arbor, Houston, and now New Orleans. People who say there’s nothing to do in Buffalo aren’t looking too hard. I had my share of fun in my 20s and 30s, and there’s more to do now than there was then. The thing that is indisputable, whether you love the place or not, is that 4-6 months out of the year it is gray. I didn’t realize until I moved to Houston just how gray it was and how much sunlight makes a difference to me. Love Buffalo, but cannot see myself ever living there again willingly.

I wouldn’t want to do it full time (for a variety of reasons), but I lived in a place that now has relatively nice and affordable condos. Last weekend I was back, looking around thinking summers and a week or two in the winter? Life could be much worse than a little cherry picking.
