Buffalo makes the Fortune 500

ByDerek

In case you were getting depressed by statistics about Buffalo, like population loss, tax rates, and politician approval ratings, here’s one to rejoice: Buffalo now has it’s first Fortune 500 company. M&T Bank moved it’s way up into slot number 496 of the Fortune 500, moving up from 519th place in 2006’s more expansive Fortune 1000. New York state claims more Fortune 500 companies than any other – 57 in total – but M&T is Buffalo’s first company to make the list.

I like to think it’s because Amanda started working there last year, but regardless of the reason, it’s a good thing for Buffalo. Congrats to M&T!

This is a cool app that I just ran across today. The Niagara International Transportation Technology Coalition (NITTEC) overlays traffic data, camera feeds, and message board messages on top of Google maps for the Buffalo area. Comes in handy on days like today, and presumably tomorrow morning!
