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.

 

Hey Toledo Bill. I too graduated from Clarence in 1974. Does your last name start with a M?

Born in Buffalo, 1958

Lived on West Side Side until age 10, then Town of Tonawanda

Graduated from Kenmore East in 1976

Graduated from RIT in 1981

 

In 1981 moved to St. Louis, Mo; Visalia Ca; Baden-Baden W. Germany; Los Angeles, Ca; St. Louis again, Batlimore MD, Ridgecrest, CA; and currently St. Louis (again) ~ all this time working for McDonnell Douglas (which is now Boeing).

 

All I can say is may God help you dealing with the unbearable heat and humidity of the summer in STL and the temperatures that never cool at night(many times Saint Louis is the hottest place in the country in the summer around midnight). I remember all the times we used to go out tot he clubs around 11pm or midnight and just how freaking hot and humid it was. Felt like a hand coming to suffocate you when you walked outside...would be around 90 still and the low was supposed to get down to 75---yeah right...temps never got below 80 at night...never understood why the place never seems to cool down

 

 

My memories of St. Louis ended just like they started---way too hot...arrived for college freshman year at the end of August, campus was undergoing construction, all pavement, no shade, seemed like a death march to the bursar's office, registration, etc in 99 degree heat with a heat index approaching 115-120. Spent the most uncomfortable night of my life the first night in the dorms on the 8th floor with no air conditioning and no fans...was so hot I sat up all night in a chair dripping sweat because I couldn't lay down, it was too hot. Next day, Cardinals were playing a game at old Busch stadium. It was so hot on the field the players were burning their feet from the metal in the spikes because the on-field temperature was 130+, nobody was able to sit in the metal bleachers because they were too hot, and they ended up coming out every half inning and hosing the players down to cool them off. Never felt anything like it in the summer, and hope I never do again...

I was born and raised down in Alabama

On a farm way back up in the woods

I was so ragged that folks used to call me Patches.

 

I have a lot of family there - B'ham area, some around Montgomery.

Lived there until I graduated from Williamsville East HS in '05.

Moved to NYC for school, and am now working and living there as a consultant.

Born and raised in Seneca Indian territory in Salamanca. Graduated from Salamanca in 1980. Joined the Navy at 20 and retired 20 years later and stayed in Chespeake, Virginia. Seems like next to WNY, the most common place of residency on this board is Virginia, no wonder you see vehicles with Bills stuff on them all the time down here. My first Bills game, O.J. got his 10,000 yard against the Falcons and the Bills won 3-0. Still go home every summer and have went to Camp at St. John Fisher every year since it moved there.

Went to Jim Kelly's first game in 1986, moved to Arizona the next day.

 

I've seen the Bills play in San Diego (2x), LA Coliseum, Denver, Arizona (2x). I also was at the first Dallas Superbowl in the Rose Bowl. Sat in an all Cowboy section. 28-10 at half and they were still nervous because the comeback game was just a few weeks before.

Born in Pittsburgh

Moved to Buffalo in 1960 at the age of 3

Graduated Sweet Home High 1975.

College in Washington DC graduated 79' and have remained in the DC and VA area.

Many Bills fans in the area.

DC area is a solid sports area. VA is not very sports minded...the further into VA you go,

the more Nascar becomes the national sport.

The only time I can get a decent pizza is when I come back to visit Buffalo.
