❤❤❤ I grew up on Moselle 3 streets over. Thank you Benny for giving back and keep shining! I always comeback and named my real estate company Moselle Realty. Of course off the strength on the block that produced me! I’ll be back to get replenished and replenish, my hood. 💪🏽👍🏽👊🏽

Buffalo is a special city. lived many places but came back for the people. 716 isn't like most cities. there's a lot of love out here. Thanks, Dion. Go Bills!

[@xPHILBOBAGGINZx]

Big facts. I lived everywhere from buff, to Miami, to la, to Louisville and now NC, buffalo is a special place. I'm moving back eventually. I haven't been to a city like the 716 ever, Louisville was close ngl

GO BILL'S !!!!

[@mduttinger]

Love this and what they’re promoting. Just want to say as a nobody from North Buffalo, the a**hole from the Tops shooting does not represent the masses. Buffalo is filled with great people and a lot of passion. There’s always room for improvement but there’s a whole lot of good as well and I don’t want that to be overlooked. This is one of the best communities I have ever lived in and I am proud to have been apart of it. Go Bills!!

I lived in South Buffalo as a kid back in the early 90’s so I know his Benny feels like it’s home it’s where we played football, hockey baseball at the parks during summer time pretending to be like Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, James Lofton. Ahh man video is what makes me love this city so much.

I grew up in the West Side 3 blocks from La Nova's. Buffalo is crazy segregated East Side (African American), West Side (Hispanic) mostly. Love my city and I'll be back for the Super Bowl parade. Go BILLS!!

[@CODPRO716]

I don't think segregated is the right word man it don't matter cause I'm white and I go to the east side and west side no problems at all man

[@mattyvio1985]

Such a great representation of our city, I grew up on East Amherst, Bennet '97. Bringing Buffalo Back, such a hard working town.

Whole lotta money in bills players, coaches, and especially owners. Would love the bills to give back when the fans give so much

[@KA-te7nd]

They just want to walk around and do photo ops like politicians then go home to their mansion. Same thing over and over and nothing changes

[@KA-te7nd]

It's been going on for years. Politicians and people with $ go on camera and talk up the east side then open a business downtown or Elmwood or a completely different city before actually investing there. Nothing changes

[@dinodoode2479]

I used to live on east ferry street as a white dude and i always saw the community come out for one another. great food in the east side too, but don't take this as there isn't a food desert in a lot of the east side. Buffalo is the 8th most segregated city in the country, and growing up in buffalo there was a difference. "The East Side" was another world to white kids. City leadership ignored the east side for GENERATIONS. Time to correct this awful crime. Glad to see Dion do this with Benny.

[@andrewzy]

Doesnt matter where in the city your reside.. in all honesty all of the city is diverse in all sections now, yes North and south are still more white owned but there is still alot of mix which is good. Riff Raff is everywhere u go around the city sk it is what it is. But now it is time for the east side to start blooming and more money being put into it. Yes it is still high crime, but it is time that money gets invested out that way from downtown. Downtown is good parts if thr west side are revamped .. its time for the east side to rise now. #Buffalokids.
