Hereis a cool new concept coming to BuffaloOe a curbside dry-cleaning valet service. The idea is simple. Pull your car up, roll down your window, hand the attendant your dry-cleaning and let him or her know whether you will be back to pick up the load or if they should drop it off at you house. Now thatis convenience.

The idea was hatched a long time ago by Christine Pyne (photo: owner of Urban Valet), who told me that her current location was not conducive to the idea due to parking restrictions. It has been a dream of hers to offer this unique service, which she feels will be readily accepted by the community.

Christineis current business location at Elmwood and Bryant is an immaculate and colorful full service dry-cleaner. Her new space at 620 Elmwood Avenue will be an exciting transition and will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood. She is already busy painting the faAade and coming up with ingenious ways to hide the garbage bins that sat on the corner for so many years. She is also planning to add green-space and flower containers this spring. Look for her to open mid-February kitty corner to the Crane Library. In the meantime, the previous Urban Valet is still open for business. Give Christine a call at 716-885-4351.

    Story Image 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?

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 …

This piece pushes stereotype to the max in a to …
