6 Things Buffalonians Like

We are 90% inspiration, 10% precipitation.

1. Our Neighbors

Facebook: events / Via facebook.com

There's a reason we're called "The City of Good Neighbors." All over town, people are organizing shoveling "mobs" to help remove the snow and bring food to the people that are stranded in this storm. There are stories of strangers helping to deliver babies, people digging tunnels to help check in on their elderly neighbors, and many more instances that show the hearts of the people in our city.

2. Reminiscing About Where We Were During a Big Storm

Blizzard of ’77. November 2000. The October storm. Snowvember. Discuss (as if you haven't already).

3. Making National News

Via twitter.com

Even if it is for ridiculous amounts of snowfall-we love it. Mostly because that means that the rest of the country gets to hear stories of our beautiful people (see number 1) and because it gives us an excuse to open up the Bison dip while we watch, which brings us to our next lovable thing...

4. Local Condiments

Chiavetta's, Weber's, Frank's....pick your fave and wash it down with some Loganberry.

5. Educating the World about Where We Are in NY

Repeat after me: Buffalo is Western New York. NOT Upstate.

Ok, now we can be friends. Upgrade to besties if you save me a parking spot at Wegmans.

6. Snow Days!

Ah-the excitement of finding out if your school/work/road is closed when you are safe and warm in your home....and knowing that someone is there to help if you aren't.
