Buffman

Having reviewed a number of these posts I am appalled/distressed at the degree of bias expressed against Buffalo. I am not allowed to post other publications but I can tell you with confidence that Buffalo is receiving favorable publicity from around the world. You can find articles that have appeared in the Wall street Journal and New York Times recently that speak of the tremendous job Buffalo is doing turning around its image and its prospects. Shedding the steel mills and the baggage associated with heavy manufacturing takes decades. The University of Buffalo is attempting to move all health related programs to the already established medical corridor downtown. Bioinformatics is a growth industry and ground was just broken on a 275 million dollar Cardiovacular Center. I have lived in Cincinnati and think it is a wonderful city. Buffalo however is also poised to become a much improved, vibrant city within the next ten years. Intellectual responses rather than emotional responses would be appreciated. The truth is, Buffalo is a city that has not been impacted nearly as much as most cities in the United States by the current recession. It has lovely neighborhoods as illustrated recently in Better Homes and Gardens. Much can be learned by the great strides being taken in Buffalo because they are on the verge of a new rebirth. Much can also be learned by the cities failures. Nothing can be learned by blind biased and yes ignorant commentary. Just as in the health care debate nothing gets done when we just take shots at each other.
