Buffalo has world class museums, theaters, and much much more. You'll find more information about State Parks sixty to a hundred miles away, than you will a museum in Buffalo. A large portion of the city of Buffalo is in need of repair and improvement, much of Niagara Falls is even worse. New buildings and projects go up everyday, while the older, crumbling areas are left to decay and rot. I love Western New York, but there's more than enough room for improvement.
Parks are in a state of neglect, and getting worse everyday.
If you come to Western New York, plan ahead, try and find out the good places to go, and talk to a local if you can. Cities such as, Boston, MA and Toronto, Ontario have a great system of places and things to do, and great ways of getting people to them. Maybe someday Western, New York will learn from their examples. Natural and man made fun. If you want to see more of the nature side of Niagara Falls, the American side is the place you want to go to.
