Q: Best Buffalo Hidden Gem.

A: The people! We truly are living in the City of Good Neighbors who come together for our favorite pastimes, and it is such a blessing.
Q: What are you doing differently post-pandemic that you didn't do before.
A: Since the pandemic I’m being more purposeful about spending time with friends and family. Instead of a passive approach, I’m more intentional with how I’m spending my free time.
