  1. No, just in a farming village that's a bit out of the way.
  2. No, a little town called Appleton just off Lake Ontario, Just checked my mortgage though, I was a bit high on the sq, footage - it's only 2,700 sq, ft. Western New York rocks!
  3. I moved away from WNY in the late '80s and lived in DC, Ohio, Syracuse and Albany. I moved back in the ' 90s and it was the BEST decision I've ever made in my life. I make a great wage here (many people do) and I live like a king because the cost of living is so low. I bought a 3,000 sq, ft. house in rural Niagara County that sits on two acres of land for a shade over $125,000. It came with a pool, fireplace, central air, Anderson Windows, skylights and an upper porch that overlooks my property. Oh yeah, and a 40-ft pole barn complete with heat and welding lines. Sure my taxes are higher than in many states, but considering that I paid nearly a half million less for the house than I would have in most locales, I think I'm ahead of the game. I haven't seen a traffic jam in years, from May-October there isn't better weather to be had in all of America. When I want a great pizza, proper chicken wings, a Friday fish Fry, Chicken Chowder, a peanut doughnut or a Beef on Weck I can jump in my car or pick up the phone and order one and not lament the lack of good food in my area like all the ex-pats do. My family is close (sometimes a good thing, sometimes bad) but I get to see my aging grandma often and won't regret my kids not having access to her or my parents once they're gone. Nowhere else that I lived had as many great festivals (both summer and winter) as I enjoy here on the Niagara Frontier. I don't think nature offers anything as beautiful as the Falls and the lower Niagara River. The Glen in Williamsville is a hidden gem and Allegheny State Park is just a short ride away. Oh, let me also say that I truly love the fact that seeing a Bills or Sabres' game in person is just a matter of buying a (amongst the lowest cost in either league) ticket. So to answer your question, should you leave what the late-great Tim Russert so accurately described as "God's Country?" In one emphatic word, "No!" In this case the grass is greenest on our side of the fence.

  9. Went to a lot of Braves games as a kid - my older cousin had season tix in the Oranges and we'd move down at a lot of the games. F*#K Paul Snyder!

  21. You do realize that Buffalo changed the name of the airport to the "Buffalo Niagara International Airport," the tourism bureau to the "Buffalo Niagara Visitor's Bureau," the convention center to the "Buffalo Niagara Visitor's and Convention Center" and the major money powerhouse to the "Buffalo Niagara Partnership," don't you? The Bills play their games in Orchard park, hold their camp in Rochester and play a home and occasional pre-season game in Toronto. The only thing they DON'T do is have any activities in Buffalo. The Bills belong to the region - plain and simple.
  22. I really loved the white home unis during the SB years.
  23. That's what fans in Detroit used to say.
