10 Signs You Grew Up in Buffalo, NY

You can take the kid out of Buffalo, but you can never take Buffalo out of the kid.

1. Tim Hortons is your drug of choice

You'll always be willing to be late to school or work because Dunkin Donuts is just not an option.

2. You'll never eat certain foods when you're away

Eating a hot dog that isn't Sahlen's or wings that aren't from Duff's or Anchor Bar? That's pretty much sacrilegious.

3. You never give up hope:

No mater how many times the Sabres or Bills let us down, you will go to your grave a die hard fan.

4. You hate Canada for no reason:

Sure they seem nice, but you know they're actually the worst.

5. But when you turn 19 you head straight to the border:

We still hate Canada, but we can take a night off to enjoy the lower drinking age.

6. Being used to people's reactions when you tell them where you're from

"You're from New York? I love the city!" "No I'm from Buffalo" "Ohhhh... don't you guys get like, a ton of snow?"

7. Laughing as the rest of the country freaks out over a few inches of snow

Snowvember? The October Storm? Anything less than 3 feet is nothing to complain about.

8. Having to explain what Loganberry is

So it's sold in the pop section (and yes it's pop, not soda here) but it's kinda like a juice and no it's not an actual berry.

9. You love the incredible art scene

Whether you're at an art show, down in the theater district, going to one of the many concerts that take place, or just walking down the street, you're never too far from something amazing.

10. You have an extreme amount of pride for your home

No matter how much you complain about the snow or how much you hate it, you know that Buffalo is one of the greatest places to be. You wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

After turning 16, our parents start to push us to get a job and take on some responsibility. We start to make our own money in order to fund the fun we intend on having throughout the year.
