I can only hope that people realize that Cleveland, and Philly have been the punch line of bad city jokes in the past ten years also. They were able to turn things around. I keep an eye as to whats happening in Buffalo and I think it's safe to say these are the worst of the worst of times yet their seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. In the year 2007 their are key construction projects downtown and waterfront that could change a lot for Buffalo. They are Pro Bass, ECC, casino, and about 4 million a year for 50 years for waterfront projects that Higgins got from Niagara power which is the best news in a long time. I know I'm pessimistic like most of you but things MIGHT change. Let's see.
