When people ask where you are from, and then have a sarcastic response like "oh i'm sorry to hear that" I just laugh. It's all what you are looking for in life. If you want clubs and beaches, you're not living in Buffalo. Jobs? I've never had a problem finding a job in the area, and neither has my wife. The summers are great, full of festivals, concerts, I've got a boat and love the world class bass and walleye fishing on Lake Erie and the world class Salmon and Trout fishing on Lake Ontario. The autumns are beautiful and I love the 50 degree temperatures. In the winter, I ski and snowmobile. I will say March is a pretty terrible month, but that's what vacations are for. There are some great opportunities if you're looking to be a homeowner too. If this area is not what you are looking for, I can live with that. But to say there is nothing to do, you're either a sheep, or just don't apply yourself.
