The ghettoist trash

Just when you think it is the worst it can be, our ghetto trash tenants can top it.

You have no idea how much I resent social welfare. I was always such a liberal pay your taxes, help out your neighbor kind of guy until we started actually dealing with the fucking trash that lives off the system.

When the last tenant left the upstairs ones asked to move downstairs. We let them figuring upstairs is easier to rent out. We told them to have it clean. That was April 1. At the beginning of the month we got the half of their rent that comes form social services. To this day they still haven't paid their half. Some lame ass story about how some other social welfare had her address mixed up so they didn't get their money. How about you get a job you fucking lazy ass. So we called and called no response. I can't really deal with it during the week because I am working and then today we go there and no one is home.

We go to check out upstairs where they used to live and it is disgusting. Also , they heat is at 80 degrees. That means it has been at 80 degress for 17 days. Serioulsy, but who cares they probably aren't paying for it - your taxes are. Not only that but you can here in their apartment that the TV is on, the radio is on. The basements light are all on, the back hall light is on.

Then the kicker - the new upstairs appliances are missing. Yes the appliances we just spent a $1000 on are gone. They decided to move them downstairs. Great! The old appliance from downstairs are in the back hall blocking the door. This is definitely not okay to with fire code or with me as I would never let such careless people move our new appliance around. I don't want to have to move huge appliances between floor and hook stuff up.

The room used to look like this with a brand new refrigerator and stove (e:paul,45020) now it looks like this.

Then they broke the front screen door.

And added this totally ghetto trash couch to the porch.

Now we have to evict them too before it gets worse. I am going to start over with a property manager.

The Great American Outlet Mall Myth

What is the Great American Outlet Mall. There is not, nor was there ever a Great American Outlet Mall at Deleware and North. Was it planned at some point? It shows up on the whole area inside of North, Franklin, Allen and Irving place.

Looks like someone already reported it back in dec of 2008 and its still there

Not as delicious as cap'n and shrimp

I found what I think is the face of a squirrel or rabbit in that fateful parking lot behind HSBC where all the little city animals go to die - remember (e:paul,45553). It makes me wonder what kind of giant super predator lives there that can rip ship apart like that. There was nothing left of this thing but the middle of its face, in the middle of the parking lot.

Beerology - Science On Tap

I saw this beerology advertisment in the Artvoice and thought some might be interested in going.

Not really sure about the details but it looks like you get a glimpse into the science of beer brewing. It's at the buffalo science museum on Friday, April 24th from 6-9PM and costs $25.

Wegman's is all price rited

Just about everything I would normally eat in the meat section has
been replaced by giant family packs of cheap meat with bright yellow
stickers. It actually made me not hungry seeing it all.

I guess wegman's is trying to compete with Price Rite.

The thing I liked about wegman's is that it didn't look like this.

Tabu night club is closed, right?


I was under the impression that Tabu night club on main syteet closed
months and months ago.

Either they have re-oppened or no one informed Artvoice. Maybe if you
prepay Artvoice they print even after you closed.

It's kind of misleading to the readers. If it was any other bar I
would say -how would Artvoice know. In this case the bar is
practically across the street from the Artvoice offices. Then again,
maybe they reopened, who knows?

Nice Messages Are Rare But Awesome

Easter
Wow, what a day of non-stop eating. I have never had so many desserts. I seriously ate until I thought I was going to die and then came the dessert and snack plates.

image

On the easter basket front, things have really changed. Instead of the shredded plastic, earth disaster basket - this year my mother filled an eco-friendly, re-usable shopping tote with candy minus any filler. It was great!

I can't wait until tomorrow night - Dyngus Day. As Mr Mike said Easter is really just Dyngus Day eve. Its so awesome that Buffalo has so many different ethnic groups that each have their own holidays. If I lived in some homo-ethnic or western American town I wouldn't have a different ethnic holiday to celebrate each month. Who else is going out?

Site messages
Usually the messages I get are either hate mail, sexual inuendo or advertisers trying to get their product reviewed. Mostly advertisers.

Then I got this nice message today.


I happened across your blog today.

I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how nice it was to read something that was interesting, had a variety of topics and great images. The art of the blog seems to be a lost art these days and has been replaced by dull, trite and tedious "I'm at the grocery store! Yay me!" Facebook/Twitter updates.

It was a welcome break to read the past 4 years of your blog and to see that you have posted an update in the past 2 days, so it's current.

And you made me miss Buffalo. That's no small feat!

Thanks!

David



All I have to say is, no - thank you David for making me feel better about not being a twit or whatever they are called. You should start a journal, we have a lot of Buffalo expats here. A lot of time s I feel like I am some internet throw back because I don't facebook or twitter my every moment.

Curly's in Lackawanna



Last night we went Curly's in Lackawanna for dinner.

The food is amazing. They also can make all their pasta dishes gluten
free which is awesome for (e:matthew) a d anyone else with celiac.

They even made gluten free dinner rolls for matt brought to the table.

I had the seafood pomodori. It was totally delicious. Their
specialty is actually carribean food.

It's totally worth the trip, just take route 5 and go left on ridge
road. It's right by the botanical gardens.

BFF - Coke and Red Cross?

What about marlboro reds?

I just walked an hour in the cold wind on the way to a chiropractic appointment to treat a cold wind injury. I think it was a net gain of zero as my neck is spazin out on the way home after a particularly strong freezing gust.

I Hate walking to and in the village. Its a death trap for pedestrians.

I just want muscle relaxants.

Is this for real? Time Warner you suck.

I just want my FIOS account at my house now. Supposedly time warner is starting bandwidth limiting. With overage fees of $1/GB. That is seriously going to change the internet as I know it. It makes you think about doing things like listening to internet radio while playing a game or download all the different Linux ISOs for fun.

I guess Time Warner just wants to accelerate themselves going out of business as soon as there is any other choice.
