Nice write up, Turk.
But enough already with the ‘small town atmosphere’. It’s way past time for Buffalo to really step up its game. Get more and better dining options. Another pro sport franchise - basketball/Baseball. More theater/concert options and venues. There’s finally REAL $$ coming in nationally to improve infrastructure and ground transportation (light rail,etc) to safely get eskimos out of their igloos and out for a weekend foray downtown. New sports complex coming.
Shed the ‘nobody comes here anyway’ excuse. Get with the times and really revitalize the city while the irons are hot!
