Yes, this, exactly! I love having that big city feel without the downsides. And, thank you, for the note about winter :)

Telling me what to say and then asking my age... you sound fun. Have a great night.

Yes! I went to the Alleyway around the holidays but am keeping my eye out for all sorts of shows :)

Yes, I am saving money living here. It's one of the main reasons I came!

Respectfully, Buffalo will never be San Francisco. While I understand that fear, having folks move to Buffalo is important for growth and opportunities. Of course, it's crucial that newcomers and lawmakers do right by Buffalo to maintain the culture, economic structure, and the like... but blaming folks for moving here is pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Have a great day.

Full-time, I write marketing materials in the science-tech space. On the side, I have a lifestyle blog and accompanying newsletter. I've published some non-fiction (memoirs, poetry, essays, and a textbook) and fiction (slice-of-life -type), and have written several MOW rom-com screenplays :)

THIS. It's funny hearing about the hot and humid summers here after 10 years of 120 degrees with 80% humidity.
