scribo Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The only time they attempted to show the city, they portrayed the streets as all run by gangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 THey actually had a line that said, "Buffalo is a big gang town." I'm sure the good folks at the CVB loved that one. They also had a scene at a Theme Park with a ferris wheel that was at least 30 years old. (Fantasy Isalnd?) Overall, a pretty lousy episode.

Actually I thought the portrayal or scenes of Buffalo were not negative. Clearly not a chamber of commerce commercial but not all that bad.

Really? The guest star is walking down a street in broad daylight when he is held up at knife point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching "Gangland" on the History channel last week and they did a show on the biker gang "The Sons of Silence" and they portrayed Lily-white, conservative Colorado Springs as: "A city at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains that is ruled by a one-percenter motorcycle gang called The Sons of Silence. Nothing happens in Colorado Springs unless the Sons want it to happen." BTW, I sent my mother your book about inspirational Buffalo stories and she really liked it. Thanks for helping make her 64th a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yes, not only is Buffalo a 'big gang town' but, apparently, also murder capital of the world... link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ferris wheel wasn't at a amusement park on Genesee st.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Really? The guest star is walking down a street in broad daylight when he is held up at knife point. That scene was pretty stupid - however it happens - here in dallas it has been happening at one of the high end malls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 700 murders in a year? I would get the heck out of here if it were that high. They go through the trouble of duplicating the Buffalo Police car and using actually street names, although they put an amusement park in Kenmore, but then they have to make it a gang run city. Which actaully had very little to do with the plot of the show. Oh well, at least it wasn't snowing! I still enjoy the show though and will continue to watch...
