Really? No offense, but that comment is ignorant. Obviously there are many high paying professional jobs in the Buffalo area, and I would consider employers like M&T, HSBC and Delaware North big business. We just don't have as many as some other areas and certainly not as many as we would like to have. That's what some of us are trying to correct in whatever way we can. Like others in this thread, I have pride in where I live and your incessant commentary on something you know nothing about is tiresome. There is tangible progress on the waterfront in both the inner and outer harbor areas, and it is not just promises, but actual construction taking place. Now flame away.
