Buffalutheran (
talk·contribs) I've lived in WNY all my life, and have been editing the encyclopedia since 2009. I've edited a great many TV and radio station articles in the past, but I'm willing to do just about anything.

Rochester native who studied in
Cleveland, Ohio before returning home. Realized how much I missed Upstate New York when I left it, which reignited my passion for the Bills and Sabres. Also interested in architecture, buildings, infrastructure, and history, but will occasionally geek out with games and pop culture. 05:16, 16 November 2016 (UTC)reply
