MexicanYentaAnyone here currently living in Buffalo NY? I’m planning on moving there and would love to follow some locals.
Chris Vreeland@MexicanYenta @TheJen is somewhere in the region & just moved from NM.
@Devils_Rancher @TheJen ah, a bonus! Thanks!
TheJen will not comply@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher Howdy! Your handle seems really familiar. Did we follow each other on bird site? I was TheJenNMX there.
@Devils_Rancher @TheJen possibly - I’ve been off that site for many years now. Are you a mefite, by any chance?
@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher Not knowing what that is, I'll have to say no. Haha. Yeah, I've been off birdsite too for a good while. Idk.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher ah, just wondered because that’s where I know @Devils_Rancher from.
Where in NM were you? And Texas? I’m down in Alamogordo, and I lived in Houston and Dallas.
@MexicanYenta @TheJen Y’all’s common trajectories is interesting, and I know you align politically- I could have been boosting your stuff into each other’s timeline.
Anyway, welcome to my sleeper cell, where the first rule is we don’t talk abou… dammit!
@Devils_Rancher @MexicanYenta HAAAAHAHAHA
It's very possible. Anyway, welcome. I am happy to help however I can. Not been up here long, but have learned a few things.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher thanks! I’ve been stalking the Buffalo subreddit for several years now, so I feel like I know a lot about it, but I always have weird questions pop into my head. Like I do wonder about the quality of the Mexican food from the perspective of someone who’s had REAL Mexican food. 😆
@MexicanYenta @TheJen Mexican food is like the #2 question after the cost of rent/real estate. 🙂
@Devils_Rancher @TheJen and the cost of rent/real estate is one of the main reasons people choose Buffalo.
@MexicanYenta @TheJen I had a roommate from there in the early 80’s and he was a refugee from the lake effect snow. But Austin was really cheap and easy to live in back then.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher and the snow now is not as bad as it used to be. Although this year has been pretty intense from what I’ve seen.
I stalk a webcam there mostly to watch the weather. 😁

@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher We're closer to Rochester and I was expecting feet of the stuff. Nope. It's not nearly as bad as I expected. About the same as we got on the mountain.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher oh, Rochester is my backup in case Buffalo doesn’t work out for some reason. I want to visit the farmers market there; it looks really nice!
@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher we haven't been yet but we got here in late summer last year. It's definitely on the itinerary.
@Devils_Rancher @TheJen I stalk a webcam in Rochester too. 😂
@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher But so far we really like it. We're in the country in a tiny little burgh with 1 stop light. It works for us. :)
@TheJen @MexicanYenta That sounds delightful. I have always lived in a big city but I’m aging out of the hustle and bustle.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher I want a country house on a couple of acres, but right outside those two acres I want there to be a walkable neighborhood with coffee shops and music stores and Asian food. 😁
@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher believe it or not, there is some of that here.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher hmmm…I may have to DM you later and ask for details about that. I haven’t seen it in my online browsing.
@MexicanYenta @Devils_Rancher Churchville is like that. So is Brockport.
@TheJen @Devils_Rancher I will check them out, thanks!
