Any one else sick of this repat stuff? How about celebrating those of us that didn't desert the fair city of Buffalo, when times got tough? Those of us that have ridden through all the messes together and are continuing to work. The ones that didn't leave! and the ones that don't demand a party for finally coming to their senses and coming back!Ohh Repats.. aren't you great for coming back to a city on it's way back. You aren't pioneers.. you're bandwagon hoppers!
- Buffalonian.. that never left
Even though the comment was a tad on the harsh side, the sentiment rings true in a recent comment from a 'Buffalonian that never left'. Not to say that anyone should be 'sick' of the red carpet that groups like BR rolls out for ex-pats, rather we should give credit where credit is due. And we owe a lot of credit and thanks to those Buffalonians that, "Have ridden through all the messes". When I think of that comment I think of the people that are featured in today's header (top of the page), walking back to work after announcing Buffalo Boom Days’ five-year anniversary. We should continue to welcome our ex-pats with open arms, and those who 'hauled the sand bags while the dam was breaking' should not (and do not) go unnoticed.
