This is from another forum and I'm not sure if it will be allowed, but what you guys/girls think of these current neighborhood and town descriptions?: https://m.reddit.com/r/Buffalo/wiki/neighborhoods/
A few remarks on Downtown Buffalo where I live and work.
From the Reddit link:
"Safety: A-B Beside some panhandlers and junkies, crime is not exactly prevalent downtown"
I would make a few exceptions. The eastern end of downtown, including the blocks surrounding the NFTA bus terminal, is a bit dodgy after dark. It doesn't feel much safer than the University district (which got a D rating for safety) at night. Also, the Chippewa strip can get rowdy and violent in the early-morning hours.
The map on UB's website includes Harborcenter as part of the eastside. That is obviously silly. I would draw Downtown Buffalo's current boundaries as follows: http://i68.tinypic.com/ivlitz.png
On second thought, I would make Tupper the northern boundary of Downtown Buffalo and would also include the renovated Creamery Building north of the casino.
