Just got back from spending a few months in NYC.
All I can say is....damn! Buffalo's streets are dead--Even the supposodly most happening areas like Elmwood and Allentown. I drove around there the other day and there were barely any people walking around.
I know it's futile to compare the two cities, but even in the a**-end of brooklyn or queens, there are at least 15x as many people walking down the streets.
So here I present........ a discussion on how to make Buffalo's streets more populated and happening!
