then why create a thread with this?Originally Posted by Dr Funky
In your opinions, what is the most dangerous, or junkiest looking street in Buffalo?
Due to neglect, gangs, drugs ect.
My friend knew somebody on Fillmore and said that they just walk around the street armed with guns there.
The Fillmore Street Gangsters I believe?

The stereotypical worst street everyone like to pick on is Box Ave. I think half the shock is just in the name of the street.
Myself and some friends once took an evening cruise down that street to relieve our seething curiosities. It was pretty scary but i've seen much worse. I officially vote....
Wilson St.
Now THAT's damn scary. I remember riding down one particular block on Wilson and about like 70% of it was all vacant lots with 10 ft.-high jungle grass. The remaining few houses were all either boarded up or burned out.
French is as bad as Box. Wilson isn't so bad because most of it is gone. Try Detroit, or worse yet Sweet Ave.Originally Posted by Gabe

By the way, what happened to biker? I miss the old coot.
Well I have also heard a lot of stories about Buffalo that had me a bit concerned. It ranged from frequent random shooting from gangs to a high organized crime (mafia) area. I was also told if stay out of areas I don't belong I will be just fine. I haven't been to Buffalo yet; I am coming up for a visit this coming week and will be coming up to attend UB starting in the fall. This thread among others on the site really makes me feel pretty good about my decision to come up. Basically Buffalo sounds like any big city, USA. Now my only concern is surviving the winter. It never snows here. Thanks for all the valuable information.
Winter won't hurt you at all .... some of our buildings even have heat!
UB makes new students shovel coal into the furnaces, ya know.
hehe
And they make you do it barefoot, and you have to walk a mile uphill to get to the furnace with your shovel of coal, and then you walk another mile uphill to get your next shovel of coal... it's a 2-credit course. In the summer, they make the freshmen pick cotton.Originally Posted by Edisonic
Remain calm!! But run for your lives if necessary!
I will keep that in mind and pack a shovel too.
you absolutely need warm, waterproof winter boots, a parka, gloves & hat - winter survival gear -
while you're here, you have to go tubing or sledding!

Truth springs from argument among friends.
Wilson is the next block from Fillmore, and runs from Genessee to William .
That's preferred to Mad Dog?

Thunderbird is for Sundays and holidays.
