This is our fourth in a series of posts where we explore top neighborhoods, blogs, and bloggers in cities around the U.S. In previous posts we’ve covered San Francisco, St. Louis, and Boston.
This week we investigate our favorite city named after an animal- Buffalo*. Sorry, Squidtown.
*In actuality, the name Buffalo may derive from the French beau fleuve, “beautiful river” (or so says our Department of Wikipedia Researchiolgy)
