Pilsner Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I've never lived in Buffalo or even been there. I live in Cali. My brother who is a Pats fan keeps asking me to go to a Bills-Pats game at Ralph Wilson stadium. One day we will make that trip and it will be glorious. Ever since becoming a Bills fan around 87, I had not met one other Bills fan for about 18 years. I was the only one in HS wearing my Bills hat proudly. In college i found no other fans either. I'm really thankful to have found his board. I finally met a Bills fan, a friend of a friend, about 4 or 5 years ago around the same time I found all of you on here. The nearest Bills backers bar/club is about 4 hours drive from me. So this is what i have. I wish i had known about this board a decade before! I know we all come form different backgrounds, but it's the Bills that keeps most of us together as a group. I think for the most part, you are a swell group. Go Bills!!

Toledo Bill Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Born in Lockport in 1956. Raised in Clarence and graduated in 1974. Went away to college and left Buffalo area after graduation (due to employment). I have never been able to move back to Buffalo but my heart will always remain there. I have never (lived in Bradford, PA. Cleveland, Detroit and Toledo, OH) been able to find subs, pizza or wings that compare to Buffalo. Will go to my grave as a proud Buffalonian that supports the city and its sports teams.
notwoz Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Nice to meet you. My wife and I were both born and raised in Buffalo area and now live in Northern VA! We like going to Jimmy's Old Town Tavern in Herndon, VA for fish fry's. I still buy my Molson Canadian's at Wegmans here in Ashburn, VA, and DirecTV has me locked down for the Bills and Sabres. But you are so right....pizza is not the same. I haven't been to Jimmy's in years -- ever since I sold my soul to DirecTV. Even though Jimmy's is only a few miles from my house. I do recall going there one Saturday night about 10 years ago -- during that sweet spot when the Sabres and Bills are playing. I went there to watch the Sabres. There was a group of people sitting at a table near the front door and they were all totally s**t-faced. I showed up the next day about 12:45 p.m. to watch the Bills. What do you know, there's that same group of people sitting at the same table -- and they were well on their way to getting totally s**t-faced. And then there was the guy sitting next to me at the bar telling me how he couldn't get to work in downtown DC anymore because of his multiple DWIs. I guess that's when I decided that Jimmy's wasn't the place for me.
