On the first day God created the land. On the second day He created the lakes and rivers and waterfalls. By the fifth day He lowered the Boom to harness all the water’s energy and hold back the ice.

  • A Kennedy Visits Buffalo

    Story Image Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday.
