Let's see... Western New York
Best:
1) Four seasons - I love the change of weather, and don't let people mislead you, winter is wonderful.
2) The people - everyone is much friendlier than I've encountered anywhere else, and also much more helpful.
3) Cheap cheap cheap - one good thing about living in a slightly economically depressed area is that everything is cheap. Houses, food, you name it.
4) The restaurants - the food in western NY is fantastic. FANtastic. And there is such a huge variety. LOL - there's a reason most WNYers are overweight.
5) The culture - between the science museums, art galleries, theaters, zoos, history... I could go on and on.
6) The parks - we have such fantastic parklands (even though most of Erie county is closing theirs, lol, come to Niagara county)
7) Canada - such easy access to another country with a wealth of things to do and explore
8) We never have traffic jams
9) Sports - there's so many professional/semi-professional sports teams in the Buffalo area: Bills, Sabres, Bisons (AAA Baseball for the Indians), pro LAX, a wealth of college teams to follow
The least:
1) The taxes in some areas are really high, you need to do your research
2) Niagara Mohawk fucks us on power costs
3) It sucks you in! LOL - once you get in, it's hard to leave.
