Your love for Buffalo is infectious ❤ I was born in Buffalo and I hope to return and spend the rest of my days there, I just have to convince my wife. So far she’s agreed to move there when my daughters finish school. It’s a start but I’ll keep chipping away little by little to move that date closer. Thanks for this video. It made my day 🙌🏻
City with a heart! From here but have lived other places and I can truly say no other place is like this. It’s hard to explain to people who never lived in the area.
thanks for doing this, was born there & moved away young, lived in many other places but none of them ever felt like home..hoping some day I'll find a way home 🦬
@@jbethjs I was only there a couple of hours and my sister and I went to Trader Joes, Cheesecake Factory, Hobby Lobby and a mall. What I loved about Buffalo most is that it’s a city that’s not over populated, hardly any traffic and so easy to get around. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK TO BUFFALO😀❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
@ YAYY!! You make amazing points - it is VERY easy to get around with a car and very little traffic. The lack of traffic is one of the best things because it really adds to the ability to ENJOY your days!
Hi, just found your channel and subbed, your smile and energy is contagious. I grew up here, moved to Texas 2 yrs than to Arizona for almost 20. Never felt at home. I moved back 14 yes ago. There's no place like home. I have friends here since kindergarten, 50 yrs. ❤
@@jbethjs ❤ I shared on my tiny page. I made it to share my tarantulas, but I only posted a few videos. I have too many (40) , I need to give some away, but few are into the hobby. Thanks again
TH-cam recommended vid...I moved here in 2005...from Long Island also (Mastic is where I graduated HS) . This winter, having a Very hard time with freezing temperatures (also, i live in a suburb, fortunately been WFH since pandemic)
Just came over from your other why you love Buffalo video…I visit a few times a year, but I can’t deal with the lack of bright sunshine. I find I miss the Florida sun after about a week.
how was it adjusting to the winters? i've lived in Reno and seattle and had to deal with snow more so in reno than in the latter, but I know upstate NY has it beat. Hows all the seasons? do you guys get 4 seasons? i'm considering buffalo or philly for my next adventure -- just returned from the PNW back to the bay area I actually found your channel while looking at videos from vloggers living in buffalo and philly -- just wanted to say you have such a contagious positive energy and i'm glad I found your channel!
Ahhh I’m soo happy you found my channel! Your comment just made my day 🫶🥰 it definitely was hard to adjust to the winters but the summer makes up for it! We definitely get all 4 seasons! You should totally come visit in the spring!!
Why I love living in Buffalo, NY...You are always drunk? So you know: Canalside it an open sewer when it rains, those aren't Snickers bars. (Born and Raised, got out).
Ah Lady, love downtown and the waterfront but explore our city and present the rich panorama of its art, architecture, history, culinary, breweries, retail, affordable living and etc, etc. Welcome to our city. I came from Europe at age 10 and I have treasured its great history for 72 years.
YES ! “Buffalo’s got a spirit … Talkin’ PROUD ! Talkin’ PROUD ! “ An old, vintage jingle from the early 1970s. More than that though; it was … that sense of Pride that you feel as a Buffalonian, too ! You totally get it, & you embody it, Julia ! Woo hoo ! There were Talkin’ Proud buttons, too. Probably bumper stickers, the whole nine. Can find the old jingles here on y’tube. And yes I am obsessed with our architecture !! Especially Gold Dome …. Or …. Buffalo Savings Bank as it was once called. Thanks for making this wonderful video. Right with ya, Girl !
Buffalo LOVES having you here, Julia ! Your infectious smile, unstoppable work ethic, poz vibes, awesome & inspirational style, highly relevant business ideas … & on & on make you a huge asset to B’lo & WNY ! Welcome Home !
@@jbethjs just make sure if you do do something that has an effect here. To make it a positive one. This is where all the costs of American living come to roost. All the factories, pollution, dump sites, chemical dumps, radiation waste containment wells. They are all the remnants of the costs this city paid to help keep America on top. From WW1 weapon manufacturing, to the first atom bombs, to the first jets to break the sound barrier. You can thank Buffalo. The steel inside many of the buildings that make many skylines came from Bethelhem steel. This city was responsible for feeding most of America west of Lake Erie with all the grain elevators. Now we have a cesspool of dilapidated infrastructure and a bunch of beurocrats and their embrogilo they profess while they figure out the margins in between and how to capitalize on them.
I will be honest, if they had completed the entire subway system citywide instead of just Main Street this city would be a baby NYC. I will log off now because I will be attacked for this***
You’re not wrong. But I guess it’s part of Buffalo’s “Underdog Charm” that the subway wreaked so much havoc on Main St businesses for so many years, & only had a lil five mile subway to show for it in the end ! Itz SO Buffalo tho, isn’t it? ! That said, I use the subway. It’s still useful.
No you wouldn't because I said this when they did it. It was my first year of college and saw right before my eyes Buffalo's downtown disappear! To build a trolly that went know where! SMH
As a former New Yorker that went to Buffalo State University in the 1980s and have returned to visit in 2021 and 2022 I have to say I was delighted with the changes. We did the U2 Reunion Tour there and the water front. I'm a casino guy and loved the casino downtown. Elmwood Village which for me was Elmwood Ave closer to the college. Love the expansion of places like Panos (the original was so tiny). Great microbreweries around and much more restaurants. I will say that Buffalo always had great bars and food even 35+ years ago. Still has that warm feeling to it for wine and dine or beer. Yes.
I grew up in Buffalo. Another thing you can add. The overall quality of the Public Schools. New York State consistently rates in the top 10 overall for school quality. The New York Regents systems is amazing. I teach and live in Michigan and we have nothing comparable. (Michigan ranks in the bottom 1/2 of public education). I went to Cheektowaga and Williamsville Public Schools and received a 1st class education.
I literally have been to buffalo 4 times… I literally live in Albany… let’s face it all upstate cities are hurting…. Albany and Buffalo Rochester Syracuse etc etc were all beautiful thriving functioning cities at one point… now?? Not so much…. The death of the American city is probably the saddest thing to happen to this nation over the past 50-150 years. Agree the architecture is top notch….Albany has so beautiful street scapes.. parks etc…. But for a variety of reasons they are essentially dead places and likely never coming back….i just watched a TH-cam story about Hiroshima…. Mind boggling the differences… ps… there wasn’t one active human being in any of your street scenes… not one….Albany no different
Buffalo, where 10% of the streets have striping, the bridges are deteriorated, the leadership is corrupt and the segregation is striking. For many outsiders, especially those who have already f'd up the places that used to be affordable and cool, buffalo seems like an oasis of cheap housing and great art. The artists are what makes the town special,,the dime a dozen mediocre hipster/yupsters are as ordinary as any strip mall in the US, you can and them drinking beer at any of the usual spot for that kind of crowd. Ask black people on the Eastside what they love about Buffalo, the community that a gunman traveled several hours to target the most "black" and segregated zip code to murder people while shopping.. We have a sound pro-Palestine movement, lots of great Yemeni bodegas, Halal supermarkets and these are the true entrepreneurs keeping Buffalo going block by block. It's a great place for artisanal gentrifiers to start a shop that wouldn't d very well in a more developed city. Buffalo is desperate.
Probably one of the hundred+ people that walk their apartment dogs on Seneca st,,I always feel bad for the Apartment Dogs that have to do there thing in a tiny chainlink cage outside or on the sidewalk and spend too much time in a cage 😔@@jbethjs
There are buses and uber, lyft. You can get around, many disabled people who can not drive enjoy the PAL system also that takes them places and picks them up at their door.
Thank you for sharing a great video about Buffalo. 🦬! We love to travel, but every time we touch back down in Buffalo, we breathe a sigh of relief. It’s more laid back, less expensive, great food, friendly people. We help each other thru the blizzards and then really enjoy our summers! Thanks again for sharing your enthusiasm about our home. 😀
