Nice to see something positive written about the city where I spent my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's definitely coming back. I've been going back since I left in 1995 and honestly, since about 2011, things have completely taken off. Now it's still behind the times, but constantly re-defining itself and going to be semi-unique. So happy to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved away in 1989 and really hadn't spent much time in Buffalo since then. I drove through the city last fall on the way to a weekend in OP (unfortunately it was for the Pats* game) and was amazed how much activity there was. My buddy gave me a tour of the city, complete with a stop at Big Ditch. I'll be back this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Buffalo has been on PEDs for last 5 years. With all the growth, it's embarrassing how slow it was to develop in my life before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Buffalo is getting an incredible amount of positive press these days. I'm looking forward to getting back after about 5 years since my last visit. There is a great website called Buffalo Rising that chronicles the projects going on and articles from all over that pop up. I saw another positive article on there just today.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Spent last week in Buffalo and, as always, loved it. The weather was great, restauraants were wonderful, Elmwood arts event soared, Premier had my wine, and above all, the city is truly coming back. There are more hotels downtown, including some outstanding new ones, than I can ever remember. And where going downtown became a gamble, now you can. It's evidence that something positive is happening. If the Bills and Sabres would only get on board, that would cinch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Really good article. I thought so, and a lot of it surprised me, like this: “It’s almost natural, as an architect, that Buffalo is one of the cities to visit, but I was surprised when we did some digging on its demographics and [discovered] it’s the third-largest destination for millennials to move to on the East Coast, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out here is San Francisco, a 1 bedroom starts at about $3800 a month and the median price to buy is approaching 1.5 million. They say that young people coming here now have zero chance of ever buying here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
