5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read...& You Don't Have to Be From Buffalo to Dig It!, April 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Car-Free in Buffalo: A Guide to Buffalo's Neighborhoods, Suburbs and Public Transportation (Paperback)

I latched on to Mr. Lewyn's fine volume while looking up some reference material on Buffalo. For those of who are familar with that material, you know how incredibly sparse the topic is. Car-Free in Buffalo goes beyond its immediate subject, and does a good job of depicting how urban-dwellers in the late 20th and the early 21st Century strive to exist without the dreaded automobile. Mr. Lewyn has done Buffalo and the rest of us a fine service by writing producing this work and I look forward to his companion work on Atlanta!

As the author of this book, I naturally think it is wonderful. This book isn't just about public transportation -- it is a neighborhood by neighborhood guide to Buffalo. I even mention specific stores and restaurants that you might want to try (though on the negative side, this means some of my information might be out of date).

As Mr. Lewyn's former Southern bartender I can attest without having read the book that Michael can suck up more facts and figures than a Hoover Upright! If he has cast his eye on Buffalo then nothing will be missing from this book. The man doesn't miss a thing! Though it will do me little good in Arkansas I will be purchasing this book in the near future to show off to Michael's former friends and associates. Keep up the good work Michael!
