My Time in Buffalo
-
9/7/2012
I was born in Buffalo and most of my Mom's family and a few of my sisters still live there, while I do not. As a kid buffalo was great! The pizza was the best in the world! But as a I got older I began to feel uneasy there. Im not sure if the city changed or I did. However I do come home for visits often and throughly enjoy summer. Not a fan of the winters. Buffalo has it's own charm if really like being in a populated place but that also means being in a crowded place. The houses for the most part are very close together. But then there are always the suburbs where there is more space.
My family always jokes that there are only two seasons in Buffalo, Winter and road work. Truthfully the roads are awful, but on a pluss side if you like history there are still little pieces of road done in brick. There was one in my Grandmother's neighborhood when I was growing up. However the roads being older in the city means they're very narrow and so in some parts traffic is kinda a pain. But then again now I live in Tn and it's still a pain.
The people are varied in Buffalo as well. Some of them are amazingly helpfull espeacial when you're 17 and get your car stuck in a snow bank. However like everywhere there are the ones that drive you crazy! To me though they seemed to be in a higher density in Buffalo some days and others they all disapeared lol. I was never a fan of school in Buffalo either espeacial after going to school in ID after we moved. However my sister Tabitha much prefered it!
As a kid though espeacially in the summer there is no where else that I would have rather been. There are parks everywhere! As well as mister frosty who I greatly missed when we moved away. Six Flags was always fun!
All in all it's not for me but that's me. I would not say it isn't a good place to live, because it is. It's unique and full of history, excitement and amazing food, but not very hippy-chrunchy friendly. lol (lots of meat based foods.)
