Buffalo is a totally different atmosphere both regarding weather and cost of
living and population, noise, etc. Prices are horribly expensive for
apartments in the city. Sorry, but you couldn’t pay me enough to live in the
city. And, yeah, in Buffalo you have huge snowfalls from Lake Erie. I did
visit the Buffalo area when I competed in Ski for Light’s International meet.
There was great snow for cross country skiing and the resort we stayed at was
pretty nice. I think it was Schenectady we were at. It’s all a fog to me now.
Sorry, it’s a long story and one I’d rather forget. But it is an emotional
thing, not relative to the weather, or the friendliness or anything like that.
Everyone was helpful.

Amen Gary. The only thing that would hold me backfrom living there's the
weather. My sister-in-law's from Buffalo.

I would live in New York if someone offered me a job there. Horrible
tragedies could happen anywhere.

Hi, Vicky,
I don't blame you for not wanting to live in New York--especially after what
happened on that terrible day. I never wanted to live in New York--and now I
have a good reason not to live there.

I'm sure it was awful for you guys in New York, especially
Manhattan. Cool that you were able to hear the chatter on the ham radio
though. I remember someone told me to turn on the TV at work and I shouted
to everyone that there was an attack on the Trade Center. Everyone went to
the conference room where the TV was turned on. The State Governor
immediately ordered all the State buildings, including ours, to be locked
down. Our building housed state employees, but it wasn't really a state
owned building. We were, however, within a block of the state capitol
building. There was a security guard, who usually worked in the afternoons.
But from that day on, security was present at all times. It was horrifying
even for us, and we weren't close by. So I can well imagine how terrified
you must have been. New York is still very vulnerable to such heinous
crimes though. I've never considered New York a place I wanted to go visit
for many reasons and that day I was glad no one in my family was there. God
bless America.

Hi, Kathleen,
I remember exactly where I was when it happened 15 years ago. I was
at
my parents' house. At 6 that morning, my brother called to tell Mom
that
we had been attacked by terrorists. Mom woke me up to tell me the
news
and I could hardly believe what I was hearing. I was in such shock
and
disbelieff. I thought "how could something so terrible happen on
American soil".
