Once while driving to Boston from Detroit (I cut through Canada), I got stuck in Buffalo traffic for an insanely long amount of time. I think there was construction. It was cold and gray, and I was very tired. I remember Cher's Do You Believe in Life after Love? playing on the radio.

At that moment I became irrationally hateful towards Buffalo, and swore to avoid it at all costs.

Coming from Detroit, that was probably very unfair. But damn, sometimes the rust belt can get to you.
