It was HOT last night! The last place I wanted to be was in a stuffy, hotter, little black box theater with no A/C and very little ventilation watching some high-school kids perform. But my wife, in her infinite wisdom, coerced me by promising ice cream afterwards. So I went. And I am so glad that I did!
The events that this show documents were among the most heinous of tragedies that the chaotic times of the early 60's bred. Four little girls were killed in a church bombing on a Sunday. It was a racially motivated crime. It went unanswered and unresolved until the early 2000's.

Buffalo booster Michael Farrell, along with Erie Community College and its students, has been working hard on beautification efforts on a long-abandoned park in downtown Buffalo. Once the site of a functioning water feature, Fireman's Park eventually suffered from lack of care, and became a symbol of much of the disinvestment in the surrounding area. Today Downtown Buffalo is shaping up, and thanks to the efforts of a dedicated group of students, the park is being transformed into a place where the business community, residents and visitors to

The Erie County Industrial Development Agency (ECIDA) on Monday gave unanimous support for Ellicott Development's plan to overhaul the long-vacant Fairmont Creamery Co. building at 199 Scott Street.

Easily seen from the I-190, the building still has the "Coffee Rich" logo painted on one side. The 5277 Group, a subsidiary of Ellicott Development, plans a
