Nice alternative to typical history of the CityBy Mike from BuffRather than give the reader a chronological history of Buffalo this book provides commentary from many sources regarding the good and the not so good about the city. There is some nostalgia included but a lot more recent developments that those of us that left over twenty or thirty years ago might find interesting.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
