Guffalo Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I just read an article in today's WSJ about Buffalo's old home week, I don't have a login, but if anyone has one, please post the article. Base of the artiicle talks about trying to lure ex-Buffalonians to return and using next week as a designated week to show off the city. They claimed ex-Buffalonians were culled from many lists including Bills Backers lists. Funny, I am listed a few times on Bills backers, I feel shamed that I wasnt invited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hmmm, that's odd. They're asking Buffalonians to return. They asked me to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What good is a 10-minute commute if there's no job to commute to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 "You can't go home again! You can't recover the past!"-Thomas Wolfe Do the organizers think people can support themselves on good memories and nostalgia? It's all about good jobs, safe streets and reasonable taxes and unless the politicians make some moves in that direction they could call it Old Broken Home Week!

Lurker Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Tammy Bialek-Lehrer, 34, left Buffalo in 1994, and has been a Las Vegas-style showgirl overseas. Now a chiropractor in Evanston, Ill., she vows to move back to Buffalo next year and hopes attending Old Home Week will inspire her. "I feel a void no other city can fill," she says.

mcjeff215 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Wow. Read through that and go homesick in a minute. They make it sound like the problems are over and it's safe to go back, though. After reading that, I was tempted to try and talk my wife into it again. Then I remembered I'd like 32k a year at a job that would be 96k here in Atlanta.
