As a Taurean, I got a real chuckle out of your description. However, I only wish the city fathers would have waited just one more week or so to set the paperwork in motion. Stubborn - yes, but with that stubborness comes determination. That's what we need in our city government, not any more lawyers or hearings that rotate on one issue when there are so many others that need to be addressed and if addressed, may open other doors for success. I love Buffalo and am determined to see it succeed. If I'm a bull in the China Shop - so be it - maybe it will cause an awakening for those who need the nudge! Thanks for a terrific conceptual piece that prbably has more weight to it than others give it credit for!

bflorox - you're absolutely right - one would think this would be a year to celebrate - where is the city recognition?

As I said to a friend the other day, "Buffalo is a Taurean city: comfort food and a good parking spot."

eac, I hardly think the author is in a state of extreme poverty......................??????????????????
