The All America City award is given annually to communities that show merit, growth, togetherness and pride. American commonality- in all its glory, irony and splendor. Buffalo and the Western New York region, my birthplace and true home, have earned this title twice in the past 20 years. The award isn't as much as an affirmation as it is a reminder of values. A reinforcement of memory- of home. Buffalo lies elsewhere, not as a destination but as a frame of mind. Beyond any place.
