I grew up in the region, I think Buffalo is a large US city but rather it just makes the cut. Like any smaller and it would be a medium sized city. I say it’s a large city due to the fact it does have large city amenities including 1) professional sports 2) world class museums (such as AKG and Martin House) and 3) Has the public transit more aligned with big cities - ex: subway system. Compare to say Syracuse NY or Dayton OH which I’d classify as medium sized cities given they don’t have these characteristics described above
To me it sounds like you sit at home all day and like to act like you know things, you don’t Bud sorry there’s so many great places to frequent in Buffalo but I know you clearly don’t know that
Buffalo would have been a much larger city if The Welland Canal had not opened. Nearby Toronto flourished and crushed their economy, leaving Buffalo’s skyline frozen in time.
Yes,this is true...and also the St Lawrence Seaway Canal was opened...so ships just bypassed Buffalo...But the city's port is still doin its thing..not quite as busy of course but we still get freighters and lake cargo shipments...I drive by the waterfront everyday.. You didnt mention the city's railroad importance..It was the third largest railroad center in the country...
@@CityGeekI am from Chicago but I just wanted to know how is it there for the homeless? I was in Boston last year and I didn't have a place to stay it was very cold. I have never been to Upstate NY
@@timothyzakaria7397 Buffalo is very cold and snowy, so there’s not too many homeless people. It’s also relatively affordable compared to most other cities in the country.
@@SeiyaSoiya-un4jjBuffalo is cold and snowy for a couple months each year. You make it sound like the arctic circle 😂 it’s 85 degrees and has been since may 😂
I grew up in WNY (not originally from there) and now that I no longer live in proximity to Buffalo, I actually miss it more than I thought I would. I think the thing about Buffalo that's really difficult to capture is that it really is a city that has something for everyone. For culture, there's Shea's Performing Arts Center, The Irish Classical Theater Company, Kleinhans Music Hall, and the Albright-Knox and Burchfield Penny Art Galleries. If sports are your thing, of course there are the Bills & Sabres, but the Bisons are there too and they play in a stadium that began the downtown baseball specific stadium resurgence. For nature lovers Niagara Falls is absolutely close by, but only an hour outside of Buffalo is Letchworth State Park, "The Grand Canyon of the East". Plus, the Finger Lakes region isn't too far away either. If food is what you're into, Buffalo has more than just the chicken wing (blue cheese, not ranch, not breaded). There's "Beef on Weck", Sahlen's hot dogs, Buffalo style pizza, sponge candy. And there are some fine microbreweries as well, my favorite being Pearl Street Grill & Brewery right in downtown, but check out any of the others like Flying Bison or Ellicottville Brewing. For history loves, you mentioned that it's the Western terminus of the Erie Canal, but that's not all. Forts Erie & Niagara aren't far away and both were in use during the mostly forgotten War of 1812. There really is something for everyone in Buffalo.
Grew up here in Buffalo, I’m 61. All but 7 years have been living here. Everytime I moved away, within 2 years I was back…. It has a draw to it…. The people, the pride, eg; when the nutjob pos that shot up Tops Market in a hateful racist attack on innocent people, we all came together to mourn and grieve these souls… we wept together, we shared our grief, and comforted each other, there was zero racial tension, all races came together….no violence! No riots! Just pure kindness and love for each other….. I wouldn’t trade this Place for anything! I Love my Buffalo Ny! Thank you for this great video! Go Bills!
I love my city. For the first 16 years of my life I live on east Utica Street and wholers ave (the heart of the ghetto) now I live in Williamsville (suburb) I’ve seen the city change so much in the last 5 years and I can’t wait to see the city in 20 years. The place is ripe with opportunity.
I've visited Buffalo a number of times and there are a number of architectural gems downtown. The city hall is absolutely stunning, with some great decorative details.
Most of the original gems are most beautiful from the inside, but most people will never stop foot in them and that’s normal, just sucks that when this city was great it was when it was one of the biggest and best city’s in America
We visited Buffalo during our recent rail tour of the US and loved it. We had lunch at one of the stalls in Ellicot square and visited the naval museum. The only downside was having to get a taxi eight miles to Depew station for our journey to Chicago. Some kind of connection to Exchange Street would be useful!
This was one of the most surprising videos in your growing series. I had no idea how many beautiful buildings were part of Buffalo’s architectural history. It’s hard to be the second city in New York State, but Buffalo seems to hold its own. Great video! I learned a lot.
BRO oh my god, you knocked this one out of the park!!!!! Buffalo is such an amazing city and you highlighted everything beautifully!! I cant thank you enough for taking my comments into consideration and please come to Buffalo again!! You'll love it!! u the goat!!
I was talking with someone just yesterday about how Buffalo is an underrated city. It's not amazing but it definitely gets more hate than it deserves. I'd visit very often and always enjoyed my time there.
Love my city. Thank you for capturing all of the great things. I have lived here all of my life and I never want to leave. My in-laws have moved here too from Long Island and just love it here.
My job took me here in 1981 and 1982. I enjoyed my time with you Buffalo. You have my vote as my second home. Lived, loved and lost in your shadow and I will never forget my time spent with you. 💙
@@CityGeekSyracuse NY has a strong downtown revitalization, eliminating a divisive highway in the city, has many defense industries, has Micron creating 1000s of jobs bcz of the Chips and Science Act, has huge medical complexes, and more •• it's a good "revitalization" account
I love Buffalo, it is always growing and getting better and there is always new infrastructure. New parks are being built and it is progressing, slowly, but surely! the 4 seasons is great, and the people here are usually very accommodating. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it is truly getting better, IMO.
In addition to the Bills and Sabers, Buffalo is also home to the Buffalo Bisons International league team, FC Buffalo USL League Two team, Buffalo Bandits NLL team, and was previously home to the NBA's Buffalo Braves from 1970-1978.
Buffalo bandits are the only team to bring a national championship to the city. it's too bad that nobody pays much attention to lacrosse, i enjoy the games way more than any sabres or bills games
You are always outstanding. Your grasp of history and your artistry are unique, You're right up there with John Reps as two greatest figures in Urban History. I sure wish you were around when I was teaching (20th century). GBU,
The thing that frustrates me so much about Buffalo living there for 10 years is I feel like it is probably the number one Citi when it comes to potential to be great it’s right on the border of Canada so very close to Toronto. It’s only 20 minutes to Niagara Falls State Park and within a 8 Hour Dr. you can get everywhere from Land in Columbus, Ohio to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, New York City, Boston, Washington DC and Maryland, etc. overall probably has the best taste in food across-the-board out of any city I’ve been in sure I’ve been to cities I have better pizza or better burgers steak, etc. but I feel like across-the-board it’s very good it’s relatively affordable it’s very diverse as far as their racial make up, and it definitely has a old World Lee vibe about it with lots of stunningly beautiful areas without being too white collar but that’s also part of its drawback is it feels like all these things that it could take advantage of to be absolutely great to be the fastest growing city in America. it doesn’t take advantage of it always seems like it tries to do something and then it just completely falls short or backtracks on commitments, building out the whole waterfront which the downtown area sits on #2 barely doing anything with it, not having great market to boost up the US side of Niagara Falls, which gets millions upon millions upon millions of visitors. Every year other cities would kill to have that and western New York, just essentially throws it away being able to be up-and-coming Citi for younger professionals and higher income individuals will still have a space to maintain affordability is just a joke. All in all, it’s an enjoyable city. I’m thankful for what it provided for me in my life during a good portion of my life but here is hoping that it can get back to it at least Golden era
I definitely slept on this city. May have to pay a visit now that I've watched this. Would love to see a video on Charleston, South Carolina, and cover the slave history of course.
When I was young I moved there a little while and complained about the weather and it not being as hip or fast as some places but now as a mature older person I can see why people want to stay there.Its a nice place.The winter was brutal but its stilla good city.
There is the Peace Bridge to cross into Canada, and then you get on the QEW, The queen elizabeth way and go west directly to Winsor and cross into Detroit, Michigan. Thats why this region is big in auto making, both usa and canada. Some people called Buffalo- Detroit East!
Grand Island, NY between Buffalo & Niagar Falls is the largest inland island in the world! An inland island is an island completely surrounded by water and the water surrounded by land.
It would be cool as a Mississippian if you did a video on Jackson. It’s not the best of cities but it has some nice art deco architecture such as the standard life building and lamar life building
Not a Buffalo native lol but Go Bills! Been to the city once but unfortunately it was for an exam so I didn’t get to explore much. Definitely need to go up there again and see more of Buffalo and a Bills game
Thank you for the flattering portrait of a beautiful, gracious city. Buffalo gets a bad rap because of it's size......unfortunately, US census doesnt recognize the Niagara Peninsula of Southern Ontario, which would add about 750,000 more souls.
That's a good point. I grew up in St. Catharines in the Biagara Pensinsula, and we often traveled to Buffalo to see theSabres, Bills, shopping, or rock concerts. The Canadian and American sides of the Niagara River really are integrated in a lot of ways, which explains why there's so many Bills fans in the Niagara Region. Before you needed a passport, we'd think nothing of hopping over the border to go for dinner or to bars in Jiagara Falls, NY, abd Buffalo. It never felt "foreign" to us.
Great video!! I would love to see a video on Macon, GA in the future. It’s a city rich in history. The downtown area has has many developments in recent years.
Buffalo has Roswell Park memorial research hospital, the 1st Cancer Hospital in America. The hearing aid was invented at the U. Of Buffalo. The 1st city in America to have electric, it had power, like the Falls!
I think cheap housing attracts so many people, $1 million dollar house in NYC only costs 100 grand in Buffalo and Niagara Falls area and the weather is almost the same
I have an opportunity to relocate here. I'm in Chicago now. Chicago is awesome but it's getting very dangerous here. Last month my sister was mugged on the north side on the Lakefront Trail at 2pm. There's always crime areas here but it's spreading thru the whole city. I know Buffalo has crime but I don't think it's through the whole city.
Having lived there for five years make sure you get an enhanced drivers license because then you can cross over into Ontario and go up to Toronto…. And from Buffalo’s airport it’s only 90 minutes to New York City.
Buffalo is WAY better than Chicago in terms of violent crime. I'm born and raised here, the only bad part is how it's a part of NYS and the Dems are running it into the ground. They take the tax dollars from Buffalo and invest it all into NYC. We get the shaft a lot, and taxes are super high. But you won't meet a more salt of the earth people than in Buffalo, NY. We'll help you shovel your driveway and bring beers for the snowccasion! Love love love my city and it's people.
You do NOT want to be here with all this crime..trust me I’m trying to get out asap and I just got here 5 months ago! Very stressed city with a lot of poverty! These damn thugs make it worse ugh 😑
Thanks for being a longtime fan of the channel! I’ve thought about doing that in the past but decided it was something I couldn’t speak as confidently about since I haven’t used the transit for all of these cities. I’ll consider including something like that in future videos though.
Do google maps street view. The specific areas he talks about is nice just don't like at the normal city area where people tend to live. There are huge pockets of..areas I wouldn't walk down.
These lists of cities are pretty interesting like literally it would be nice visiting some of them and I say for the next city on here is San Diego would be another good one
With all this crime in Cleveland no thank you. Not worth living in but can visit I guess. Stressed city lots of poverty. These damn thugs make it worse. I just moved here 5 months ago and I want to leave asap and planning so within the next month!
I was born in Buffalo. Grew up in South Buffalo and went to Mount Mercy. Work took me to Miami and I miss Buffalo. Miami really is NOTHING compared to Buffalo.
I understand that Buffalo has an amazing but abandoned train station. Hope that it gets redeveloped and/or repurposed like Detroit's did with their historic train station. The connectivity of Buffalo with parks and greenspace is amazing, but much of the city needs more love.
Buffalo is on the rise over the last 10 years after decades of decay following the closure of the massive Bethlehem Steel facility and other manufacturing industries. Go Bills! #716 #buffalove #billsmafia
Western New York lost 80% of its manufacturing jobs due to NAFTA causing a huge loss in population. That's a hard thing to come back from. Add to that the fact that New York is the number one state for people moving out due to insane taxes and overregulation and that makes it worse.
Buffalo is a great city, but it is cold in winter and the snow is deep! How cold is it you ask?? It was so cold in Buffalo one winter, i saw a male dog frozen to fire hydrant!! Think about it, u will get the joke!!! LOL!!!
As a buffalonian, this is how I would describe buffalo. Its not a big city, its our city. Come back when the Bills and Sabres seasons start up again.

Much bigger uptown/downtown area than I thought. They’ve built plenty of Legit skyscrapers
Grand Island, NY between Buffalo & Niagar Falls is the largest inland island in the world! An inland island is an island completely surrounded by water and the water surrounded by land.
When Detroit sneezed, people in Buffalo got a cold!

Seems to be an interesting city. I think I'll find a " walking in" video to see the whole thing from street-level
Do google maps street view. The specific areas he talks about is nice just don't like at the normal city area where people tend to live. There are huge pockets of..areas I wouldn't walk down.
These lists of cities are pretty interesting like literally it would be nice visiting some of them and I say for the next city on here is San Diego would be another good one
what an insane take
Love seeing my city getting its just does
Cool!
Thanks!!
3 hours west down the lake to CLEVELAND PLEASE…
With all this crime in Cleveland no thank you. Not worth living in but can visit I guess. Stressed city lots of poverty. These damn thugs make it worse. I just moved here 5 months ago and I want to leave asap and planning so within the next month!
First city IN THE WORLD with light !
I didn’t realize Buffalo was so close to Toronto lol
I was born in Buffalo. Grew up in South Buffalo and went to Mount Mercy. Work took me to Miami and I miss Buffalo. Miami really is NOTHING compared to Buffalo.
Miami is the NYC of the South - wall to wall people and traffic, excessively rude
I understand that Buffalo has an amazing but abandoned train station. Hope that it gets redeveloped and/or repurposed like Detroit's did with their historic train station. The connectivity of Buffalo with parks and greenspace is amazing, but much of the city needs more love.
Awesome ❤
Buffalo skyline looks cool at night.
Great video ❤️ very informative 👏
Thanks!
Buffalo is on the rise over the last 10 years after decades of decay following the closure of the massive Bethlehem Steel facility and other manufacturing industries. Go Bills! #716 #buffalove #billsmafia
It might take another decades to make progress unfortunately. It so slow.
@@mrbear716 I agree, but the important thing is that progress is happening ✌️
Full of shit
Western New York lost 80% of its manufacturing jobs due to NAFTA causing a huge loss in population. That's a hard thing to come back from. Add to that the fact that New York is the number one state for people moving out due to insane taxes and overregulation and that makes it worse.
Thanks sir!
Can you please do one for Rochester, New York.
Can you do a video of Hartford, CT
Wait, there's an observation deck? At city hall? And I didn't know that? Wow
It's pretty neat. Hopefully they made repairs from last I went because it was pretty scary to go up there and look out. It is a nice view though.
Would you be able to make a video on Boise
Yep, it’s on the list!
@@CityGeek could you also do a video on anchorage
Don't forget your snow blower. You'll need it.
Buffalo is a great city, but it is cold in winter and the snow is deep! How cold is it you ask??
