Driving in the suburbsConcerned about the chaos of driving in the city ??? Erie County Sheriff's deputies had a busy weekend rounding up drunk drivers in the suburbs:
Here's another read:
Best wishes for a quicky recovery for the involved individual, but do you notice how the focus on this young suburban woman is the injury and not the criminal act that caused the injury? This article would look a whole lot different if this was an urban youth!

Suburban Crime BlogI wanted to write a thought provoking entry explaining the purpose and thought behind the suburbancrime blog, but the reason is pretty simple. Irritation.
I feel irritated when people tell me they love visiting the city, but, goodness…. they could never LIVE in the city. Or my co-workers who are convinced that I, as a city resident, have my house and car broken into routinely and that I have danger lurking for me around every corner. These individuals smugly believe that they and their children are safe from crime in their suburbs.
We can explore that assumption here. I’ll try to focus on Buffalo, but I’ll branch out to other suburban areas too. If you have any news on crime in the suburbs to share…please e-mail me!
Here’s a few interesting links to start with:
Boston man with intoxication levels three times the legal limit found slumped over in his vehicle:
Illegal immigrants working in Cheektowaga Mexican restaurant:
Drugs in Clarence
Union Leaders recently arrested for racketeering. The racketeering and bullying of these individuals harm the City of Buffalo and at least one of the twelve (probably more) lives in the suburbs of Buffalo. The article doesn't provide their home locations, but one of my coworkers in the suburbs is a neighbor to one of the individuals who was arrested.

many, many, many years ago i dated a guy who was in the business. you wouldn't believe how many suburbanites he had as customers and he didn't even deal the "white" drug, but rather, crack and still so many of the customers were white suburbanites driving saabs. i can only imagine what the demographic profile of a Buffalo coke dealer's clientèle looks like.

That place was so good it really was. The odd thing is not this time but the time previous I voted for it as the Best Mexican place in the artvoice awards. I think the place has been open for a couple years but not sure.
Before I bash the burbs there have been some great movies and shows about them and there dark side: American Beauty, The Burbs, Desperate Housewives, and WEEDS come to mind quickly.
I like the idea of the blog. The burbanites to make some good points about crime. Let me clarify that by saying the ones who used to live here and then when the you know who started moving into there hood they decided to move out. But that doesn't mean there is more crime that is more of a culture thing. As an example as I'm walking down the street there is some asshole sitting on his porch and he has his car radio blaring. Now I can't even sit outside if I want to cause I don't want to hear his crappy music. I felt like reaching into the car and turning the radio down, it is not to tough to make it loud enough so only you can hear it, it is called sitting in your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See people who aren't from the city don't understand that there are good and bad parts and sometimes it is block by block and not by the part of town you are in. As an example if you know anyone who lives in riverside tell them you like there house in blackrock. If they are a stable family they will Correct you cause black rock is where the ghetto and white trash people live. I used to have this debate with a friend of mine. He lived in Willimsville about maybe 5 minutes form UB. I never said he lived in Buffalo but said he lived in the city and he did and he would get very upset.

I saw the link to the Mexican restaurant in Cheektowaga and figured for sure it was 5 de Mayo! Half the time I'm in there the servers barely speak English, and the other half... they don't at all. But still, the food is the best thing going since Don Pablo's waved farewell.

If we find news stories detailing the scum of that Gomorrah which are the suburbs should we email you?

Seems like when you drive so frequently you become careless about it. I like to avoid suburban highways. I like the convenience of not having to bring my car wherever I go. Now that it's summer I'm riding my bike more often.
Not only are there drunk drivers in the suburbs, it is also outrageously expensive to drive in the suburbs.
