I suppose I should post here since I've been absent since, err. march.
I had to ditch North Buffalo, as much as I loved it, because the house I was living in was sold and I got a new Landlord who:
- Sang/played Rock Band loundly (and badly) till 3AM every night.
- Had friends who'd try to plant cigarette bushes in my son's sandbox from their balcony
- Decided that he wouldn't renew our lease. Probably so his cigarette-planting friends could move in.
Not that we weren't already considering moving. I was faced with the reality that as much as I liked living in Buffalo, I had to move closer to my job in the Southtowns because almost two hours of my life every day was robbed from me during my commute.
In a compromise between having to live in Orchard Park ($$$ and boring and closer) and Buffalo (cheap and interesting and far), I've settled on South Buffalo (cheap and boring and close). I'm trying to give it a chance, but right now there's not a lot I can say about South Buffalo other than the rents are cheap and it's closer to work. If you made half of the stores on Hertel vacant, and populated the other half with an alternating series of Pizza shops and Irish pubs, you'd have Seneca St. Vacant store, Pizza & wing shop, Irish pub, rinse, recycle, repeat.
Crap, I should really go to bed. I guess I could catch a Guinness before last call.

Bill Website FrustationCategory: geek

When I spot this string of characters appended to the end of a web address (URL for geeks), it's usually a four letter harbinger of "this site's usability and functionality is gonna be sucktastic". If they appear on a site which is used for paying my bills online, it usually means I shouldn't even bother trying to pay my bills online, 'cause it ain't gonna work.

Pink FlamingosCategory: tasteless
Long time, no update. I should get better about that.
I'm looking for a tasteful gift for a housewarming party. Anyone know where in the Buffalo metropolitan area one can find a classic pink flamingo (WIKIPEDIA - Plastic_flamingo),

I think you're going to have a tough time finding one. Probably try local garden centers or possibly Dave's Christmas Store, but call ahead. The only place I can think of that would definitely have one is out of business.
Home Depot has them but lists them as 'online only.'

SC vs. NCCategory: politics
SC's finally eclipsed us NC folks in some area. The best our former senator could do is some cougar videographer. Meanwhile Sanford goes for Argentinian hotties. Bonus kudos if the whole affair involved an exceptionally well-done tango.

South Buffalo isn't so bad. I met some cool people there when I rotated through the hospital in that part of town.
Well I Hope you like South Buffalo, and that it works out well for you. I know nothing of the area so I have no suggestions on anything really.
Welcome to SB! I know there's no indian food, or wine bars, or the other fun elmwood stuff, but at least we have a coffee shop now, :::link:::
Part of what we like is all the parks and open spaces here, try Cazenovia Park, the Botanical Gardens, Tifft Nature Preserve, Galagher Beach...
Also if you want Restaurant suggestions, try the Blackthorn, and Francesca's on Seneca St. Or Doug's Dive on the waterfront.
Maybe we can meet for coffee sometime... peace
