Buffalo Rising Online

Premier has a Buffalo postal address, but is well outside of city limits, located near the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Sheridan Drive on the Tonawanda/Kenmore line. Kenton Rising.

OMG Pundit- you got them!!!!! Well done!

It is a violation of BRO's sworn hatred, disgust, and pledge never, ever to acknowledge the existence of any municipalities outside of Buffalo city limits.

I didn't make that rule, and I think this underscores just how back-ass-wards and economically/socially retarded it is.

Good point Pundit. I like how they promote O'Connells & Torches too. Also located in the village of Kenmore. I don't have a problem with it - I wish they would branch outside the city lines a bit more. But you're right - it is their "rule".

I picked up the Eggplant Spread at Globe Market. I put it out with some pieces of fresh baguette for guests at the holidays and everyone loved it! It has less of an eggplant flavor and more of a caper flavor - it was excellent!

According to QE's latest posting looking for new or old not known places, maybe now is the time to consider extending the boundaries of coverage in seeking new material to comment on. If for nothing other than self interest, the places featured, their friends and other possibly interested parties would become visitors to this blog. Think of all the new people that could be attacked or the expansion of dissent.

How could he do that now with a straight face?

This whole site was built on a promote-the-city-ignore-everything-outside-it platform. I thought it was stupid then, and I think it's stupid now, and I expressed that opinion to all and sundry, to their faces. Actually, I think it's beyond stupid. I think it's divisive, elitist, arrogant, and counterproductive for anyone to perpetuate a pointless, imbecilic city/suburb divide.

It would be like a Boston blog ignoring neat things to do in Cambridge or Brookline. It's not just silly, it's an outdated parochialism that helps keep the region down. We all know from listening to Sandy Beach that many suburbanites avoid the city like the plague. I think that's idiotic. I didn't know until this site popped up that many urbanites avoid leaving the city like the plague.

That's too bad for them, because I can't imagine not educating a company or person who wants to locate in this area about East Aurora, Chestnut Ridge Park, Old Fort Niagara, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Williamsville, where the malls are, where the best public schools are, the county park in Akron, the four corners in Orchard Park, the village of Hamburg's little downtown, the beaches along Lake Erie on both sides of the border, the Chautauqua Institution, the antique shops in Clarence or Westfield, the proximity to Hamilton, Burlington, and Toronto, a sunset dinner in Wilson, the locks in Lockport, summertime concerts in North Tonawanda, the Niawanda park along River Road, Fantasy Island, Zooz, skiing in the southern tier, Ellicottville, the balloons & quaint downtown of Wellsville, Batavia's rejuvenated Main Street, Greycliff, Darien Lake, Alabama swamps, the Arcade-Attica railway, pancake breakfasts in the spring, the Strong Museum, etc., etc. ad infinitum.

In addition to the city's great attractions, all of these things contribute to what makes living in Buffaloland worth the political headaches and economic hassles. Buffalo Rising has chosen to ignore and disregard countless places, people, and events that make WNY a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

I think it's a shame, in every sense of the word.

Well, Buffalopundit, you seem to have a lot of free time and ideas. So why don't you start a site such as you describe and cover everything but the City or the City plus whatever areas you think the site should cover?

I don't have to. It exists & it's called "Block Club".

Will the Amherst Bee, Hamburg Sun and Niagara Gazette be dissolved under your big picture thinking? Shall me have one regional source of information? Let me guess- WNYMedia.net! BuffaloRising = BUFFALO. Get it?

We don't need one regional source of information. All of the papers you mention are news dailies, and none of them play some bizarre game of make-believe that other municipalities don't exist. So, we're comparing apples and oranges. Furthermore, this has nothing whatsoever to do with WNYMedia.net, (but thanks for bringing it up), so I don't know why you're changing the subject.
