Buffalo, New York: The Best Maligned Place

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Buffalo has always been part of the vocabulary in my family as my Dad was born there in 1913. His father worked for the railroad. My Dad was the last of the six boys and my Dad loved Buffalo. It has quite a history - the head of the Iroquois Nation was a woman who lived down the street from my Dad. Their schools must have taught well as 3 of the boys went on to college. Yes, I grew up hearing about the snow from my Dad "you don't want to walk to school in a foot of snow? I walked in 4 feet of snow"...LOL. I finally got to see Buffalo in 1989 with my husband - but like you said we needed a local/native to really see Buffalo.
