damn, you people are nice...
I really appreciate the help with the apartment search...the gf and I were looking all over town a couple of weekends ago and decided that we're most interested in the areas relatively close to Delaware Park...gf is jazzed about the Bidwell Parkway area (in part b/c it's close to Caffe Aroma); I'm still strongly considering other parts of Elmwood Village, but we're also thinking about areas north of Delaware Park too... we're trying to find a quiet street, gf gets up early and likes to get her beauty rest. ;-)
Was thinking about bombing on up to B-lo this weekend to look for apts and to check out the Allentown art festival... but I'm getting the sense that I'm a little early for my target move-in date of August 1... most of the folks advertising in AV are looking for 7/1... any thoughts? Would I be wasting time/gas money by making the trip this weekend?
Thanks again, Chico

My husband and i, (e:Uncutsaniflush) are farily new to Buffalo as well. Been about a year and a half now.
The Hertel Street area, between Elmwood and Colvin and maybe even through to Starin, has a lot of rentals down the side streets, i think. Might want to check out that area if you're looking to be above Delaware Park. Most are doubles, as they call them 'round here, or as other places say, duplexes. Our realtor owns a house and rents out the top half.. and the people that used to live in the house my husband and i bought moved to that area. There's a cool movie theatre up there... oh, i think it's called North something. Man, i am bad with names. Sorry. Coupla good places to eat 'round there, too. I recommend Taste Of Thai if you like Thai food.
OK, now that was a ramble. More than i intended it to be.
Oh, but before i forget. Coffee places. I'm not one for hanging out at coffee places in general, but a lot of the (e:peeps) 'round here hang at Spot, which is a block or two south of Aroma. Oddly enough, Armoma was a place my husband and i went to when we were visitors before we moved here...

Bidwell is beautiful (I drove up and down over and over when I was looking for a place, hoping a "for rent" sign would miraculously appear). But there are lots of nice places. I think the guidelines I were given are good- I'd recommend the area bounded by Forest to the North, Allen to the South, Richmond to the West, and Delaware to the East. Or Linwood.
All of that is pretty near Aroma. (though personally I prefer Spot (further down elmwood)).
You might be a little early to find a place for 8/1, but at the same time it might be a good idea to get a feel for the area in advance, so when you ARE seeing places your head is clear on what's where, etc.
