Your Task
You are a travel agent and just received a phone call from Mayor Byron Brown of the City of Buffalo and he is asked for your help. He noticed that many people when planning their vacations are not choosing the Buffalo as their destination to visit. After talking to his aids, it is clear that people do not know that Buffalo had a lot to offer when it comes to history, music and the arts, food, colleges/universities and famous parks. He wants you to create a pamphlet as well as a one (1) minute TV commercial that let people see why Buffalo is where they should go. The mayor has a couple of guidelines though. Your pamphlet should be broken up into sections that have:
