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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Great video! Buffalo definitely punches above its weight! Would recommend a visit to all

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!

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.

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.

There are billboards all over Buffalo that tout the city as a “best kept secret!” It’s a remarkably beautiful city with so much to offer!

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.

Very well done!!! Thank you for doing a city overview of Buffalo, I am a native to western NY and have been so hopeful for this video.

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.

I'm from Buffalo and I learned something from this. Plus you have up to date photos of the new Albright Knox Gallery, pretty cool.

I moved to Buffalo and the people on this town and around the suburbs are very friendly and warm.

Damn, I wish I had seen your video sooner. I just went through Buffalo a couple of weeks ago and now I'm kicking myself for not exploring

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.

Tulsa OK also has a large collection of Art- Deco buildings.

Great information amazing work👍👍👍👍👍

Yes please do Raleigh North Carolina

I'd love visiting this city. Thanks for presenting it to me. That city hall just seems to preside over the city

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.

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,

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.

The quality of your videos is always amazing 🔥

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. 💙

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.

Amazing place 👍🏻

Fun to watch and educational!! Good job!!

Anchorage soon! 🙏 great vids

As a Buffalo native, i appreciate this video a lot.

Love seeing my city getting its just does

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.

All the architecture looks so much more impressive on video than seeing it every day for some reason

Buffalo city hall is my fav historic structure.

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

Great video 👍👍👍 Nice sharing....

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

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.

i'll be visiting.

Loved this video, I hope to see New Orleans video soon

Thanks for the Buffalove! ❤

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!

I love Buffalo I use to live there. You should do a city overview of Houston!

Outstanding overview.... very thorough. I have subscribed.

I have a long distance friend who lives there, I really can't wait to visit her.

awesome video! :] im a buffalo local and its such a nice little city i feel

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.

Great video! Proud to be living in Buffalo! 🥰

I love Buffalo and I hope to come and live there

As a Washingtonian I’m remembering the late Tim Russert who loved Buffalo & promoted his beloved city whenever he could. RIP Tim, we miss you 💕

Love this video. I will be in Buffalo this fall and now I know what I should see (besides Niagara Falls). Can you do a video on Honolulu?

Great video!!!! Now I’m dying to go back to Niagara 🤩

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

We also have several sand beaches along the lake, which are vibrant in the summertime.

Awesome ❤

Much bigger uptown/downtown area than I thought. They’ve built plenty of Legit skyscrapers

When Detroit sneezed, people in Buffalo got a cold!

Video was amazing! Should do Newark

Detroit next please

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!

Love Buffalo! Great video. Sticking with upstate, NY, I think Syracuse has a unique history and culture you could do a video on!

Thanks sir!

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.

Buffalo skyline looks cool at night.

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.

Love your content so much

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

Damn this makes me homesick.

You have to view downtown Buffalo from the north looking south. A great vantage point is The Lenox Hotel. The skyline looks incredible from the hotel.

Named after the wings of course.

As a future architect and artist I want to visit the city

I'd honestly love a Duluth Vid

Cool!

Are you taking requests? If so, can you do Jacksonville in Florida?

Hello my friend; i have been a long time fan of the channel and was wondering if you could do a spotlight on transit in the videos as well?

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.

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

Please do Cleveland Ohio one day.

First city IN THE WORLD with light !

3 hours west down the lake to CLEVELAND PLEASE…

Great video ❤️ very informative 👏

Seems to be an interesting city. I think I'll find a " walking in" video to see the whole thing from street-level

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.

Hi from Buffalo (suburbs)!

what an insane take

i miss buffalo

❤

Can you do Florida cities Orlando and ft Lauderdale

Wait, there's an observation deck? At city hall? And I didn't know that? Wow

Meet Louisville, Ky! The best small big city!

Can we get Jacksonville Florida??

Lake effect snow is why Buffalo is not where I want to be in the winter months.

I didn’t realize Buffalo was so close to Toronto lol

Don't forget your snow blower. You'll need it.

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

Thank you for doing a video about buffalo. If you ever do another video, please shine a light on the amazon food that buffalo has to offer

2:21 Curious question.. which is the other college founded by US president?

Any redlight district, mmassage parlors?

Would you be able to make a video on Boise
