Buffalo is Lacking Enjoyment!

My personal view on entertainment and mass media in Buffalo.

 I’ve moved to the area of Buffalo and Niagara Falls a while ago from a very big city abroad. My first impression was “GOOD” but didn’t last long. 

    Let me first explain what I think about the so-called ‘media heart of the city’. In many people’s perception it’s supposed to be a TOP-rated thick newspaper with 2/3 of politics and the rest- whatever will be found, sport scores primarily. And it goes on and on, and on, and on… Politics and whatever, politics and whatever…

    It seems that people stopped thinking about cultural entertainment, personal precious luxury of not reading about the same people over and over again; fantastic events that take place in downtown and are not announced about anywhere close. 

    I am 24 years old and have seen a lot in my life, but politics and sports is not what I want to read from issue to issue. And I’m not the only one with the same approach. I want to learn more about great events, people coming to Buffalo and the area and many other things, except politics. There is no such a thing in Buffalo like Local-about-great-things-but-politics-paper. Or even a colorful magazine, that will excite your eyes every time you open it.

   Where is the local Time Out+ Vogue+ Men’s Health+ People etc…? It seems to me that everyone is so depressed in this area because they forgot about normal life and arts that happened to be here from time to time. Why was it even so hard to find out about the performances of the great world-famous DJs like Markus Schultz and Tiesto? thousands of cities in the World are dying to see them at least once in a life time, but here they come and people don’t know. Where is the information that should help me living a great life?

   Like the list of healthy food stores or new opened boutique with great discounts? The list of Art exhibitions and psychology in different aspects of our life with opinion polls? Where are the stories of success by great people that come to our area to inspire youth?

     People might think that I’m too young and not serious at all- it’s not true. I’m just too positive-thinking! Sometimes I run into an idea that politics are too up above from earth that you can’t even do anything about it. Politicians basically live their own lives and fight with each other and that, for instance, doesn’t inspire me in any possible ways.

   Where is the positive-thinking media concentrated on the variety of aspects of our life to fulfill this gap? I wish it will change in the nearest future and people will stop being depressed!
