I recently just got back from my “Stay-cation.” 9 days off in a row in the Queen City. 

What would you do?

Well for me everyday was an adventure in my own backyard. Between visiting almost all of the Buffalo Olmsted Parks via bicycle, hiking through sculptures in Ashford Hollow, enjoying the developing waterfront, and kayaking the cities old grain mills. And this was just the first 3 days.

I’ve got to say I’ve come away with a new found love for my city. Buffalo.

This is not the first time someone has compared domestic and international magazine covers, but it’s worth pointing out as it appears to be a trend. Especially with Time Magazine, which has once again dumbed down, as some are putting it, the cover story for their American readers while printing more serious, inarguably more relevant stories about the world for international readers. Kudos to any blogger or journalist bringing this to life, as I can’t assume most would ever be in the position to notice such blatant discrepancies. What do you make of these sanitized American covers? Are we dumber than the rest of the world, or is corporate media money shielding us from actual news? Or both? -Ben
