Buffalo, The City of Good Neighbors

For anyone wondering what could possibly be so great about Buffalo, I will gladly tell you.

Yes the city is located on a beautiful great lake, borders another country and is rich in culture... all of which is amazing. That said, the best thing about Buffalo is the people. Recently, I was stranded in the city with a flat tire, trying not to cry from the stress all while also thinking I am getting AAA ASAP... when this man and his son appeared out of nowhere!




Not only did the man remove the flat, he also patched it too! Yes, he patched the tire on the spot... then put it back on my wounded ride... and even put all the junk I removed from the trunk to get to the spare... back in its place. When the man was done... I offered him 60 bucks (all I had in my wallet, which is 60 bucks more than usual). He refused to take the money and I told him, "you HAVE to take it!" lol - I was finally able to convince the kind samaritan to take $40 against his will. I will forever be grateful to this nameless man and his son. THIS is the city of good neighbors. This is Buffalo, NY.


Sidenote: Piggie sat in the driver's seat the entire time, totally unfazed... and I still have to sign up for Triple-A!
