Allentown Fixins
"It happed about the week before Saint Patrick's Day. It wasn't even a day of bad weather... the brick and cement just fell. Luckily most of my clients were really good about it. Some people thought that I closed. Now it's going between the preservationists and the City of Buffalo at this point. The scaffolding is up in the meantime to protect people... it's been there since early March. Other than that problem, being in Allentown has been great. The association has been helpful and the neighbors have been wonderful. The daycare has really taken off for the people who work downtown every day... we have up to sixteen dogs a day. That's a lot considering that we never offered doggie daycare when we were on Niagara Street (see original post). People work long hours and their dogs need social stimulation as well as food and water.
Pawprints by Penny is located at 260 Allen (corner of Wadsworth). Phone is 716.883.9360.
Now we'll wait to hear what is going to happen to the former Falcon Building lot. I drove by this morning and snapped a photo of the property... no word yet as to what it will become.

Penny is a doll, and her Pawprints are a really asset to the neighborhood!

Any word on the building next to Steel Crazy? It seemed to be undergoing renovation last year, but looks to be stalled for a few months now.

So, what's the deal with the Preservation board approving the brick rehab on Penny's business- it appears to bee yellow or blond brick. I hope that Penny is getting a hard time about this by the City.

Is that barbed wire fencing in the bottom photo? I thought that wasn't permitted in a residential zone.

Barbed wire fencing is not permitted anywhere within city limits, however one can have it with a zba approval.

Glad to see that the vacant lot has already become a dumping zone.

How about a small dog park? Or a nice pocket park? Anything is better than what is there now. Speaking of Allentown, I just came from the Coffee shop next to Sweet Tooth. I do not know its name but it has great coffee. The girl working there informed me that new ownership has taken over and that it will be open now for the summer until 8pm which I thought was awesome. Everyone should check it out its a cool tiny place to get a good cup of Joe.
