Ant errywhere. They were swarming this dead slug, it was really gross.

This parking lot next to Globe is on it's way out, woop. Beyonce even visited to tag her name on the barriers.

Bike or Bar had a redonk light show going on

Mode finally has a new place opening up in it. After 5 years. The sign says Saigon Cafe - is it related to Saigon Bangkok?

Starin Train Station
Category: buffalo
After the Italian fest we continued our bike ride through Parkside and the Park before heading home. The Starin Parkside neighborhood is so ridiculous and I always forget about it. Not only are the houses huge but the roads and lawns too.

One of my favorites that is not so big but so cool is the old belt line train station at Starin and Amherst. It's sunk below the street next to the tracks and has this old cobblestone driveway down to it. You can rent it on airbnb for $300 a night.

We had a pretty shitty experience at the park (ask (e:paul)) but Hoyt lake was especially bad that day. I assume it was the rain.

Everybody loves an Italian boy
Category: buffalo
(e:paul), (e:terry) and I went on a bike ride after getting our hair did. Terry wanted a cannoli so we stopped at the Italian festival for a bit. For once the stands were a little less fair and a little more Italian food.

The cannoli were so amazing. We also got an eggplant roll up and free cheese samples. Yum.
image
Making it rain on them ho's.

image
The crowd was not very Italian but is North Buffalo even Italian anymore?
image
Jewel of India served lasagna and pasta. I wonder if they were forced to have an Italian menu.
image

The city of Buffalo would like you to recycle the crap they are handing out.

You know I always thought cannolis could be 100X better with whipped cream. It's such a pity that's not whipped cream in there - it is some flour-y sugary thicker concoction. I am not sure I am big fan of that.

I love the recycle box ready, recycling information.

Category: fashion

After getting back from camlping, (e:Paul) cut his beard, (e:terry) shaved his golden locks and I trimmed back to a small fauxhawk. Woof.

Valle de Mexico
Category: food

On Friday before Brushwood, (e:Paul), (e:Terry) and I went with Vanessa to go get lunch at Valle de Mexico on South Park.

There were so many choices but I didn't really know what most of them were. I wanted to get the soggy chips in sauce that Terry talked about, but the menu was limited since it was the greased pole festival. Instead I got the veggie burrito. The food was slow to come out but it was because they made it fresh.

The burrito was not that good although the poblano peppers in it were. I think Paul just ate his kryptonite because he was dying after.

The best part was the horchata. The waitress described it as rice pudding in a drink and that's what it tasted like.
