[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...it's definitely not the Midwest. WTF? I went to Purdue, an actual Midwestern school, and lived and worked in Buffalo for 7 years. It's a polite East Coast town, almost Canadian in its friendliness.

I also roll my eyes at what people think New York culture is. New York is a diverse state, and the city itself holds many cultures within it. Buffalo is rusty industrial New York. You don't need a coarse Brooklyn accent and a fake-hostile attitude to be a "New Yorker".[/quote]

East Coast?![/quote]

Yes? East Coast is a geographic distinction not a qualitative one. There are plenty of shitholes throughout the east coast.[/quote]

Of course there are shitholes on the East Coast. Buffalo is not on the East Coast. It's over a 7 hour drive from the coast.

NY State may touch the coast. Most of its people may live an hour or less from the coast. But just being in NY State does not make a municipality an East Coast municipality.

I believe I posted on page 1 that Western NY is its own thing. Nobody wants to own it. [/quote]

Hoosier here who went to Indiana University, not Purdue.  Yes, it's East Coast.  I'd never heard of 'mid-Atlantic' until I moved to DC-land. You can't get further east in the US than the East Coast and New York is one of those states.  It doesn't matter how far Buffalo is from the actual coast.  [/quote]
