Buffalo's Gold Diggers

Over the last few weeks I have been noticing an increased amount of activity taking place at Front Park. Yes, there have been tractors, digger and trailers reforming the original Olmsted landscape, but upon closer observation I have witnessed a troop of people following the activity with metal detectors in hand. It was obvious to me that these guys must be finding piece…

A little over a week ago, BuffaloPlace revealed a set of video renderings of what downtownis Main St. will look like after cars are reintroduced to share the road bed with the Metro Rail. The slideshow, above, captures many of the images that illustrate exactly what the street may look like after construction.

Those were the words I heard over and over again as I walked around CROZOO with my 2 boys (Alexander 13 and Austin 7). Crozoo is a recently opened pet store on Amherst Street, just down from Wegmans, in Buffalo. It's not one of those large we carry everything pet stores, but more like a mini version of the reptile house at the Buffalo Zoo, with a mammal or 2…

RoBear just sent along a shot of Main Street that he captured a couple of days ago. Do you notice anything unusual? Clear lanes maybe?

How cool is this? The Central Terminal is hosting a train show. What better place could there be to spend a day with your kids than at the terminal checking out operational model trains. The terminal itself is worth the trip... but to see train setups inside will be a real trip. When I was a kid you couldn't peel me away from a train set. These days I am…
