I never felt warm and fuzzy toward the Buffalo and never felt the parades were a "lure" to buy here, but if everyone was the same, they would only sell vanilla ice cream.

And you can go to the meeting and get all mad and put upon and it will not change the outcome. Before you buy here know this is NOT a democratic form of governance and things are what they are.

I am a person who for the most part feels that the developers have tried to make this a beautiful and safe place with many, MANY, opportunities to enjoy life. And they seem to try to give us a lot of nice stuff to do.

I can't see why not having the parade would save the developers money or time, or anything, but I am sure someone will explain it to me. I would like to know the stated reason for their stopping the parades and really would like to know if they are a draw for a lot of seasoned residents. Like many, I think of myself as typical, but maybe I am not on this issue.
Well said, gg
