" Once just a punch line"

The city of Buffalo has been doing some amazing things in the past 5 years and it seems the national media is finally starting to take notice. There is well over a $1 billion(yes with a B) dollars in major projects being built or proposed and that's not including smaller projects personal projects such as homes and small businesses.
Here are some recent articles about what is happening in Buffalo:

It's nice to get recognition outside of our geographic area and hopefully draw people to come visit. Maybe they'll start showing more then chicken wings and Niagara falls for every nationally televised game for the Bills and the Sabres. The city is like a ship without a rudder that, day by day, is slowly regaining control.
