About Me

I'm the best city you know nothing about. I'm the other big city in New York State that is closer to Toronto. I'm not what you expect, of course. I'm the cheapest rent for the most beautiful apartment, I'm the nicest house you can afford, I'm the best neighbors you've met and the most comfortable summers on record.

Economic Recovery, Salting Roads, Garden Walking, Bars, the Italian Festival, Allentown Art Festival, Elmwood District, New York Central Terminal, Delaware Park, Beef on Weck, Wings, The Pink, Larkin House, Guarantee Building, Grain Elevators, Rendezvous

There's Love in These Hills

There is, I promise. I've seen it. Come see! (However, take into consideration that these 'hills' are figurative--as anyone who lives in Buffalo knows. But the love is real. DAMN REAL.)
