30 dogs, 2 cats and preacher on bent knee...


Thirty dogs, two cats and a handful of stuffed animals came walking and strolling from every direction at 2pm sharp. There were a number of unexpected turnouts as well, including young children with their stuffed animals and a woman who was completely shaken since she had recently lost her Italian Greyhound named Colby (see below). It was a heartwarming affair - the crowd sang hymns (handed out by Drew) while the dogs barked and sniffed around. After the hymns were sung, Drew blessed each individual animal. It was a real sight to see. Each animal was introduced by name before being given an official blessing. If you’re an animal lover, then this is something that you must attend at leas once in your life.

*Colby also responds to the name Tucker. Colby is black/brown with a white face and white paws. Weighs 15lbs. Last seen 10/3 @ Cleveland and Elmwood. Reward if found. Please call 716-541-5311 or 716-840-2348 or 703-855-2981

Earlier today we took our first walk through the brand new Burchfield-Penney Art Center. By the end of the visit I must say that I was a bit disappointed. Why? Because after walking through the entire complex, I found myself wishing that I had gone to the membership gala the night before. That was when thousands of members/supporters came together to revel in the glory that is The Burchfield-Penney Art Center.
The art center experience certainly lives up to all the hype that has …

Organized by Good Schools for All, a program of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, the goal of the grant and its resultant programs is to achieve a 100 percent literacy rate in the City of Buffalo …
Almost nothing incites a turf war on Buffalo Rising like The City vs. The Burbs talk (unless, of course, the topic happens to be Classic Art vs. Modern, or Casino vs. No Casino, or anything to do with the Peace Bridge and trolls).
Therefore, we enjoyed this little parody from the Onion that pokes fun at the 'burbs, but at the same time takes a look at what might be a haughty attitude held by city dwellers in respect to the suburbs.
This piece pushes stereotype to the max in a to …
