Chef Jim Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Why...... you can just hire your illegal migrant Mexican workforce to shovel you out Thanks...that a plus in my column. See here if I get buried in my home I just call Manuel Labor to dig me out. When I visit WNY in the winter I only see all the white locals digging themselves out. In the dark at 6:00am just to they can get the car out of the garage to get to work on time. The only thing I need to get out of my driveway at 6:00am in the middle of January is the paper. And I'm usually wearing shorts when I get it. But that's really only when my Mexican maid is on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 You're kidding right? And when I do visit in the summer I come back one big mosquito bite. I do agree however that a beautiful summer day there is fantastic because you're not sure how many you're going to get; spring is wonderful because the snow if finally gone; and the fall is outstanding because you have to take in the last bit of temps above zero. Seriously I do agree that the summers, spring and fall can be great. I thought Buffalo was humid until i moved to north florida, not near the coast.

Chef Jim Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I thought Buffalo was humid until i moved to north florida, not near the coast. South Florida was the first place I lived outside of NY. Yes it's more humid but at least there's palm trees and sand at the beach instead of rocks and dead fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 South Florida was the first place I lived outside of NY. Yes it's more humid but at least there's palm trees and beautiful woman and sand at the beach instead of rocks and dead fish. And the woman, dont forget the woman.

A good 30 miles inland makes summer tallahassee a sweatbox. But its worth it for the FSU girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I thought Buffalo was humid until i moved to north florida, not near the coast. Agree 100%. which ones? st george - ok for both girls and beach quality panama city - decent for both destin - good for both pensacola - great for both I never made it to Panama city or Pensacola but really loved Destin's emerald waters and white beaches. St. George wasn't bad, and it was nice to get to a beach pretty quickly from Tally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Boy, this guy dropped like a rock: http://www.buffalonews.com/businesstoday/l...ory/418050.html Sad part is that I started reading this thread, forgetting that it began in 2006. Also reminded me of an op-ed in WSJ by a Buffalonian last year that criticized the project as yet another hope for salvation for the city from an outsider, who didn't have a long track record of success and the city's prediliction to fall for snake charmers. Jake Halpern: The danger is that Buffalo's optimism regarding Mr. Issa will become a kind of clinging, desperate hope. This hard-luck city is always looking for redemption: redemption from poverty, from four straight Super Bowl losses, from the loss of the steel mills, from the bad stereotypes about the weather, and from the opportunists who, like myself, move away from the city in its hour of need. This need makes someone like Mr. Issa more appealing because it casts him as a hero in the classic American storyline. He's the sheriff sauntering into town who, in John-Wayne-like fashion, will restore justice, dignity and prosperity. The problem is that waiting for a John Wayne figure can create complacency and obscure the reality that redemption will not come easily or at once in the form of deus ex machina. The best thing the mayor could do now is forget about Mr. Issa and focus on the daily grind of improving schools, creating tax incentives for businesses and even filling potholes -- the unglamorous minutiae of city life that will truly pave the road to redemption. The city fathers obviously penned an angry response letter: One developer's investment interest is hardly the story of what's currently taking place in Buffalo. Over the past two years, development investment in Buffalo has climbed to $4.3 billion, with more than $428 million worth of projects completed and more than $1 billion currently under construction. The story that Mr. Halpern missed is that, for the five years preceding 2006, the average annual amount of development activity in Buffalo was $50 million. That's $50 million American dollars in one year folks - for a city of Buffalo's size. Or, roughly equivalent to a price paid for one waterfront mansion in Florida or the Hamptons.

Instead of looking inside and realizing what needs to be fixed, Buffalo is always trying for the "win the lottery" type approach to fixing the city, as if a casino, or a bridge, or a bass pro is going to turn it into a boom town. You can put all the new siding on the house you want, but if the foundation is cracked, you're going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time people try to tell me that Buffalo is "turning around", they point to a bunch of projects that are too small to even be noticed in cities that are larger or just growing faster.

They have to find a way to pay the salaries of Uncle Billy and Cousin Sal at the DPW, and all the endlessly duplicated services at the County, city, town, and village levels. They could save millions tomorrow by merging and consolidating them, but it's political suicide to eliminate all those patronage jobs. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
