I know nothing about Buffalo....

Update: I'm coming for a visit! Thanks everyone for your insight, good and bad. Im excited to see for myself.

My head is spinning a little bit. I live in South East Wyoming and applied for a sort of niche job in my area. The company I applied to thinks I would be a good fit for a similar role in Buffalo.

I'm apprehensive about moving, but I'm trying to at least evaluate the possibility of moving. I know nothing about Buffalo. I didn't apply for a job in Buffalo. I've done some cursory searches and I like what I've seen. I feel a little crazy for even thinking about it though, I've never even been there! I'd love to learn more from actual people.

Here are some things about me to help understand what I'm looking for in a community.

I'm a musician and am curious about the diy/local music scene.

My partner and I want to feel safe as members of the LGBT community. Can anyone speak to their experience? (We don't necessarily feel safe where we are now.....)

Public transport is something I really desire and I'm curious what it's like. I've never really had that option.

I love Mexican food. What's the best place? Besides that, I love food in general and wonder about other Buffalo local delicacies.

Winter is bad where I live, but it's the wind that absolutely kills me. What's the wind like in Buffalo?

Lastly, I'd just love to hear from anyone, about anything, regarding Buffalo. Good, bad, or ugly.

Looking forward to chatting about the City of Good Neighbors.

Thanks!
