Buffalo's Decline

As a very nice follow up to the post about my visit to Buffalo, Forbes magazine in the US has just published a list of the top ten declining cities in the US over the past decade. And one of those cities in the list... yes, Buffalo. It appears the new millenium has been treating Buffalo even worse than I had first thought, and at the moment, it appears there is nothing the city can, or is willing to, do about it.
The picture on the report below, is the cross-roads at the heart of Buffalo's "Entertainment District", and I'm afraid that is about as lively as it gets there. A sad case of a once important and powerful city, now very much declining and showing no sign of slowing.

See the Buffalo report here.
