What the Hay?

What was going on down there? All the streets in front of HSBC arena were blocked with bales of hay.

Clams at Dug's Dive

It was well worth the walk. P.S. the diner in the last journal was an abandoned gas station and not Dug's Dive.

Behind the new, former casino

We walked from out house at Linwood and North to Dug's Dive on the Lake. I really walk anywhere for clams. These pictures are from right behind what was to be the new casino.

I had never really walked this way before but its pretty doable. We had to go on down to Ohio st to go over the Buffalo river. I wish they had a bridge at Michigan St.

The yummy lucky charms smell from the General Mills factory is so overwhelming at this close proximity. You could actually taste it in the air.

I know that I have seen some of the shirts at festivals , now that I think about it I don't think they had that shirt at the fair, I saw the Bret Hull is a cheater, I thought they did have that shirt when they where at Allentown West. To be honest it is tough to keep the Buffalo shirt places stright with there being a few of them.......

paul writes at 10:52:01 08/22/10 - Comment #57967: They are all sold out of that shirt. I asked the last time I was there. Then again that was when the plae was where the oil an vinegar store is now. I wonder if the t-shirt place moved somewhere else or if it closed?

metalpeter writes at 09:48:00 08/22/10 - Comment #57958: I kinda miss sitting at the counter thing, sitting at the bar on a stool isn't the same, two places that come to mind quickly are Your Host and Wolworth's. I wasn't around when there where sit ins there but when I was a kid I did eat at one at least once (Grant St. Location I think) and yes you could buy birds and fish in there (no where near the food), think I also ate at the one downtown.

@ (e:Tinypliny) one of the T-shirt companies that make Buffalo shirts does have a shirt that says something along the lines of "my city smells like Cherios" ........

heidi writes at 09:35:32 08/21/10 - Comment #57950: It's old style - the grill is farther down with the silver hood. You can see the handle of the french fry basket.

tinypliny writes at 09:30:45 08/21/10 - Comment #57947: I dig it when everything smells like cheerios at random times! Can people go on a GE mills tour to see the production process? I would really like to do that. Any idea whom I can contact to ask about this? Has anyone ever heard of GE Mills tours?

And why abandon such a cool kitchen - it was in a gas station??! That is odd. Usually gas stations have uncool crammed corner-snack shops.

Is this from a year ago?

Or is someone just really bad with dates. There is no Friday, August 21, right?

Dear Church of the Ascension 2

Why can't these stupid fucks park like normal people. You cannot expand your driveway into a parking lot without going through the proper channels. Especially when you are using my driveway to make it possible. It just looks looks so trashy with cars parked on the lawn.

The people parking can't even figure out how to maximize the space they have. Like how is the black car going to get out.

Here you get to find out how.

If you really don't think parking on the grass is an issue, why don't you park on your giant parking lot on North Street?

Another one just did the same thing, but even worse. When we had multiple cars we would just move so the other person could get out. Instead, they do this.

Three more windows complete

Finally completed the left three windows. Only twelve more to go. (e:terry) is now talking about hiring someone to do the tops. I am torn between wanting to ride the cherry picker and not wanting to do any more work.

Its really coming around. In one more year I think the outside might be done.

Well, minus a new brick driveway and wall blocking off the church.

chilled watermelon soup

(e:samathon86) got this for lunch at Fiddleheads in Allen yesterday. It consists of chilled pureed watermelon, heavy cream and some sort of frozen fruit ball. He said it was real yummy.
