About Buffalo: I was raised in
a suburb just outside the city of Buffalo, and I can honestly say that I
did not truly appreciate this area until I had lived elsewhere (NYC,
Boston, Houston). Friendly people, reasonable cost-of-living,
professional sports, great restaurants, and many cultural treasures make
this a great place to live.
