2005-10-20 19:23:49 so can we start a community with the tagline: Hey, at least we're not Albany? or Cuse? or Victor? —RossHattori
2006-07-24 06:57:22 The main Rochester LiveJournal community used to have a tagline saying: Hey, at least we aren't Buffalo —BenMargolis
2008-11-25 12:15:34 Buffalo has some of the most beautiful architecture in this country, much of it is not preserved, a shame, but you can see the potential, and how great the city must have been at the turn of the 20th century. The metro area has similarities to most small cities in America, including Rochester. On the other side, the people, are some of the simplest, parochial, working class people I have ever met in this country, and they are very proud of this. To each their own, Buffalo was not for me. —MrRochester

2009-01-04 17:12:31 I'm with MrRochester on this one. I went to school at UB and couldn't wait to return to Rochester. Rochester, to me, is more sophisticated and scenic. Buffalo takes pride in it's rapidly deteriorating surroundings and seems to be oblivious to the fact that they are no longer a first rate city. It's a shame, too, because Buffalo could and should be a much nicer place. Instead, it's just a rusting eyesore. Just my opinion... —BatGuano
2009-08-13 16:22:01 Rochester: the only city in the world that has an inferiority complex about Buffalo. —DavidPausch
2009-08-19 11:00:35 Buffalo showed up 77th and Rochester 86th in major job market survey of the Business Journal on September 8, 2008 Hottest Job Markets. We almost made the "Worst 10". —BradMandell
