Buffalo is an old manufacturing based city that once counted amongst its numerous factories the second largest steel works in the world, employing over 25,000 people at its height. It is closed and mothballed now today, but some of the other major manufacturers are General Motors' mammouth car engine plant--the largest automobile engine factory in the world. Ford Motor Company's body stamping plant is also located in Buffalo. Besides manufacturing Buffalo is also noted for its long harsh winters, a losing football team that often gets to the big dance but loses dramatically. The Buffalo Chicken Wing was invented there and Buffalo is also well renowned for having excellent pizza. To many visitors Buffalo paints a bleak picture with its aging factories, long dark winters, dwindling population and brutaly high unemployment rates. Still others find something special about its hardy friendly citizens.
Can you think of a particular British city that would be somewhat equal to Buffalo?
