Abstract
leaps and bounds, and some portion of the growth may already be spilling over; most of the immigrants to buffalo in re cent years were canadian. buffalo of fers urban living free of traffic jams and boasts one of the nation’s last under developed stretches of premium wa terfront. During its city of light heyday, when buffalo was the first electrified metropolis, Frank lloyd Wright, Fred erick law olmsted, and other fabled names designed homes and parks. in the lovely Delaware Park area, magnifi cent beaux arts homes sell at exceed ingly low prices compared with homes in elite U.S. cities—or in toronto. So long as the bills keep a foot in the city, they keep alive the dream of a Su per bowl win—a hope that an infusion of loonies (canadian dollars) might sustain. and should the bills win the Super bowl, buffalo will return to na tional prominence. i don’t just think this will happen, i know it will.
