For anyone looking for my area of
the state, Buffalo is the closest large city. Not
having been a city dweller in my life, I prefer the
rural settings that are so abundent in our state.
Still there is always those times when a person
needs to get out and enjoy some Top Notch
entertainment.
Buffalo has been described as a
City with a small town personality. In truth it is a
nice compact city,where 20 minuets drive in any
direction will have you out of the Urban area and
back into more rural settings. That perhaps is one
of the city's charms.
So in the mood for culture? Well a visit to The
Albright-Knox Art Gallery will provide you the
chance to see paintings by the great masters and more
contempory artists such as Andy Warhol. Perhaps an
evening full of great classical music is more your
style? The Buffalo
Philharmonic is a world Class
orchrestra, which also boasts a pops series under the
direction of the one and only "Doc Severinsen" of the
Tonight Show .
Are you more interested in Sports?
Well not only are there hundreds of venues for the
novice of any sport to hone their skills, but Buffalo
is home to the Buffalo
Bills one of the premier Football teams in the
NFL. Also the Buffalo
Sabresprovide some of the Hottest Hockey action
on ice, with olympic Gold Medal winner Dominick
Hasek in the goaltenders spot. Buffalo also has
several indoor professional sports teams including
the Indoor Soccer"Buffalo Blizzard
of the MISL. Is speed more your style? Fast
track action can be found at Holland
Speedway where the summer nights are filled with
the
roar of stock car races.
Is History your
area of interest? Well the Western New York Area is
full of facinating historical sites. From the Theodore Roosevelt
Inagural Site, to the walls of Fort
Niagara
where many a bloody battle was fought during our
stuggle for independence, New york is a place of
history.
Buffalo also has many family
attractions that are sure to be a hit with all ages.
Darien
Lake Campground & amusement park is a fun filled
spot to spend a day or full week riding rides, seeing
concerts and camping. The Nation's 3rd oldest
zoological Gardens are found at the Buffalo Zoo.
Bring the family and a good appitite to Buffalo's
premier outdoor festival, the
Taste of Buffalo, a chance to try some of the
areas
finest culinary treats.So if you are coming for a
visit,
