A move to Buffalo called for a walk through the old downtown with a camera. The photos from that day, sent to the newspaper, called for an article to explain them. That article led to interviews with chefs, farmers, surgeons and longtime Buffalonians. Those stories, interviews and NPR radio pieces are gathered here to explain just why people put up with all that snow and cold in Buffalo and love living there. If you've ever received a traffic ticket, moved a few times and had an equal number of garage sales, suffered through piano lessons as well as jury duty, had a good friend and lost a good friend--there's a story here for you.
