This reminds me of another article about the city: Hello, Buffalo: For Orange fans, a city of many delights |

It looks like the article was written by a 18 year old Missouri college student. He probably never thought that anyone from his "victim city" would read this article. He was probably trying to be funny but he was so totally off the top and unfair that you soon take the side of his victim.

Perhaps it was asking too much, but a little research on his part would have shown that buffalo aka bison were once living in Western New York State. They were essentially wiped out, just like the far larger populations living in Missouri.

Its not completely bad. I got a laugh out of one or two. I guess it ticks me off that media uses negativity to sell product.

I got a kick out of other mayors calling Buffalo for advice. Everyone up here, or from Buffalo gets a good chuckle when southerners shut down for snow.

Maybe he should have visited some inner city neighborhoods in St. Louis or Kansas City and described how wonderful they are in his article - if he lived to write about it

Doesn't bother me too much. He is basically trying to make fun of the typical Buffalo stuff and that is to be expected these days.

He does throw in some stuff people might be unaware of.

I just wish he could have come to town and discovered some of the real positives of the area too, so his writeup wasn't so one sided.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Real tired road. I can tell you that after serving in the military and being stationed in Missouri for a year that they should talk softly. I seem to remember it being nick named 'Misery' and my fellow soldiers and I came to the conclusion that it was the "show me state" because none of them new how to read. 49 states pronounce Missouri with an 'e' sound at the end yet Missourians insist on pronouncing it with the sound of an 'a'. I can remember about 50 more instances of backward, inbred type occurances but I will keep them to myself

I'm with "mike" on this one.

Buffalo has a lot more character, and better people, than St. Louis and "Mizzoura", in general.

'Nuff said.
