I was born in Buffalo, grew up in the town of Eden, and lived in Hamburg for the first 5 years of my married life. Our family now lives in the Raleigh North Carolina area, having left Buffalo in 1985 for all the usual reasons--- taxes, job market, weather, etc.
It's amazing how many people from Western NY I meet down here everyday. Even my hairdresser is from Buffalo!
We go to Hurricanes games, where you don't need to inherit the ticket, but go up to the ticket window the day of the game and buy what you need, if the Hurricanes are not in the playoffs of course!
When the Hurricanes play the Sabres, there's more people in the audience wearing Sabres jerseys than are wearing Hurricanes jerseys. Even the usher we met was from Buffalo! At any given time you can find a car with a Buffalo Bills or Buffalo Sabres license plate holder in the Target parking lot!
That being said, if anyone is looking to move to North Carolina, who better to help them than a former Western NY'er? I know where they came from, what kind of home they're used to, and best of all, how life in Western NY compares to life here in North Carolina.

Realtors, I'd love to help your clients who are moving down here, Plus, I have a lot of family still up in the area that may need to buy or sell a house someday. Let's keep in touch!
