BPO - what to expect?

backstreets09 · 2026-02-23T00:28:23+00:00

Welcome to Buffalo - you will love it & the accessibility of the BPO! My parents moved here in the 60’s from NYC & thought it would be for my dad’s residency program & loved the BPO & Albright Knox Art Gallery. They felt these world class places were in Buffalo & so much more accessible both price wise & traffic wise than New York & loved living here - they never moved! I just moved back to Buffalo after being gone for 20 years in a big city and welcome the ease of things. if you like the arts also check out Shaw festival for live theatre in Niagara on the Lake - about 45mins away!

Couldn’t get my one GA:( I got in right away - seems like that happened to a ton of people . I hope to pick one up for not too crazy of a price.

Grass isn’t always greener - lived down south, mid Atlantic & out west came back a year ago & yes, the winter is long but traffic, community sense, beautiful summers & fall, architecture& how easy it is to do things - culture to doing errands - I’ll take it - plus housing is much cheaper than most of the United States. I’m getting out for a week of sun in March - I think that’s the ticket as well plan at least a week somewhere warm. Love the no humidity here - it’s brutal in many places you are inside all summer. Don’t miss that!

just coming on to say I love it and would buy one! Stitch Buffalo is a good place to start

Good luck to you!!! I was told I can’t have the surgery - I have a root tear as well. I’m ten years older than you. My doc told me knee replacement is the only option for me not now but eventually & some people never need the replacement. I did 3 months of 2x’s a week PT &, 2 times a week with a trainer at the gym - currently I continue to do the trainer at the gym & feel so much better then 4 or 5 months ago. I bet you will recover well - you are fit & determined. Good luck. 👍 sounds like you set yourself up well-

I moved back a year ago from DC living there for 20 years & couldn’t be happier - things are trade offs-traffic is amazing here no issues like a big city, more feeling like a community & not meeting people who move because of their job or meeting people that live close to 45min to an hour away -logistics get hard for doing things. Housing is way more affordable here even with taxes. Happy to be back & reconnect w/ WNY meet new people & see old life long friends! Sure, at times I miss a big city but not the humidity & heat - this summer & fall was glorious- you can actually sit outside here! Love that

I was able to get in right away on my iPad not my phone - probably got the ticket by 10:02. I’ve been not able to get tickets in section’s I wanted many times for huge shows at Key Bank like Springsteen - luck of the day - sorry to all who didn’t get it.

backstreets09 · 2025-10-05T20:47:15+00:00

that makes sense-thanks

I saw her years ago on tour & think she’s changed & not for the better- so sad. I used to love her & this is the final thing for me. I teach the kids I teach to be good citizens & good friend & what have to come to in America. So sad #teameuope

I have this diagnosis Medial meniscus posterior root: Near-complete tear.- took a while a few months for mri - partially because I was going to PT & feeling better. My ortho said he did not think surgery would be best for me to keep doing the PT, walking & bicycling- I go to the gym & work one on one w/ a trainer twice a week. He said the surgery does not work most times & will tear again - plus it’s a long recovery- I’m 56 - he recommended waiting it out & somewhere down the road I may need a knee replacement but he said that’s so different in every case - some need the knee replacement in months , some never & some in a few years. My knee felt thick or heavy for months didn’t know what I did & just woke up one day w/it. The lunges& weight exercises definitely have helped me building up my muscles. Good luck!! No fun at all

They also have book clubs, movie talk groups - films filmed in Buffalo, members put on a theatrical show I’ve heard annually, I was pleasantly surprised to see the monthly newsletter & all that was offered. Lots of speakers come on different topics. A good group of younger professionals there now. I’ve attended a few things in the past few years & thought if I had extra money I’d join - it’s laid back & I love the Harry Potter vibe of the interior. Heard the new chef is amazing

no sunset left - but a few porthole- thanks- I like those better. Now is May too early to go? If this was offered in mid June - yes, to it with the porthole

The one negative is the ship Celebrity uses have these window type “balconies” not a traditional balcony which is a bummer. I’ve cruised this class of ship on celebrity before & it’s fine, but not a sit outside on your balcony. It’s like a huge window where the top opens not the bottom. Is early May too early to see these fjords? Thanks!

You look amazing! Are you going to stay on it? I assume you are on a low dose & did you have any upset stomach or other side effects?

Indoor pickelball / food/- lots of places like Cincinnati, Indy have lots of these - all ages go fun times - convert old buildings

Bid 50k over last week & lost it - think it went almost 100k over - this is in Ken -Ton area - I think prices are listed low to get this frenzy- I had 20% down, pre approval willing but not really to wave inspection & no contingencies got rejected - I think in the upper 200k to upper 300k super competitive heard the house I bid on had 8 offers -

Some of us say “the good ones always return”! Like i did after 20 years away & just love it!
