One thing about living in the Snow Belt that you rarely hear about - [View all]

everyone watches out for each other. I went into the ditch once, called Triple A and had ten different cars stop by over the next half hour to make sure I was alright.

I got stuck on a hill last winter, and had to park in the lot of a pizzeria. When I went in to explain why my car was in their lot, a complete stranger gave me a ride home.

I can't tell you how many times in 35 years of driving someone has given me a push.

People carry jumper cables so they can help each other out.

I've had neighbors plow my drive when they knew my husband was out of town.


There's a reason Buffalo is the City of Good Neighbors.
