Described by Acoustic Guitar Magazine as "an exceptional nylon string guitarist" and by NPR as "mesmerizing and hypnotic", Mir Ali has established himself as a leading guitar virtuoso of his generation. He won his first guitar competition at the age of thirteen and has been raising eyebrows of audiences and music critics around the globe ever since.
In the last two concert seasons he has toured Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States and has performed at the opening ceremonies of the Mets baseball series before a crowd of five thousand people at Shea Stadium in New York City.
His last two compact discs have received critical acclaim. David Beck of San Jose Mercury referred to them as "an absolute joy".
Mir has served on the guitar faculty of the University of Akron in…

While looking for some information on Loganberry, one of Buffalo's favorite drinks, I ran across an interesting entry in Wikipedia.
The loganberry's origins are controversial - it might be a red-fruiting form of the common Californian blackberry, Rubus ursinus vitifolius, or it may have been derived from a cross between the Red Antwerp raspberry and the American blackberry Aughinburgh. It may have also been created in 1881 in Logan Heights near Santa Cruz, California by the American lawyer and horticulturist James Harvey Logan (1841-1928). It is believed that while attempting to cross two varieties of blackberries, he accidentally planted them next to an old variety of red raspberry, al…

Impresive from the outside, the Ellicott Square Building leaves vistors speachless upon entering the rotund space.

The City of Buffalo Guerilla Gardeners need some location ideas for planting daffodil bulbs as there's not much more they can do at this time of year...
So let's give 'em some suggestions. Somebody mentioned that Grant Street needed some greens. Where are the corners on Grant that could use a spruce-up? Is there a corner in a certain business district that this group can plant some daffodils? Shout out a street name. I'm sure they have their own planting agenda, but a couple suggestions wouldn't hurt.
Also, if you are interested in helping this group out, leave your email address in the comment section and the group will contact you to help out on one of their midnight runs. And what's the skinny on the cool Buffalo shirt?

A few weeks ago, on one of those perfect summer days, I was walking along Allen St. between Delaware & Franklin. I noticed a strorefront garden square that was so beautiful it made me stop in my tracks. I had my camera with me and took a picture of it so in March, I'd have a little slice of "Nature beauty" to look at.
As I was walking away, I noticed that the door of the store was open so I popped my head in to let them know that I appreciated their beautiful mini garden. To the left of the doorway sat Lonnie Harrell, the proprietor of Allen St Connection, a boutique specializing in Afrocentric clothing, accessories & antiques, holding an acoustical guitar.

When people are asked to describe the Erie Community College building (the old post office), more often than not they describe the exterior. It's high-profile city architecture. The exterior is absolutely stunning. If you have never stepped foot inside this building... do so now. It's an unforgettable experience.
James Knox Taylor, the official architect of the United States Treasury, designed the building, which was constructed in the Flemish Gothic style. The exterior stone is made of granite from Jonesboro, Maine.
