Budweiser Clydesdales on Elmwood Tonight!
The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales will be making a grand sweep down Elmwood Avenue tonight. I called Elmwood Village Association President, Christine Pyne, to ask her what the details were. "The beer distributor contacted us and they were interested in bringing the horses to Elmwood. The staging point is at the Albright-Knox, while the event will run from 6pm - 8pm. It's a promotion for Budweiser. As far as I know it will be one big sweep down the street. The staging area will be at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This is also being put on by Try-It Distribution. Also, there are supposedly going to be some sort of ‘spokesmodels’ from Budweiser at the staging area."
I asked Christine if the event had anything to do with Elmwood Avenue's recent award naming it one of the ten best neighborhoods in the country. She replied, "I think that everything that is happening now has something to do with the award that Elmwood won. We're getting a lot of phone calls from organizations and businesses that want to partner up."

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:55am

The NFTA Santa Ride
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time … - Dec 17th 2008, 4:34pm

Stop horsing around. Hardly anyone will say ,"Neigh." My bud said that they are a shoe-in to be a big hit. They will be the mane attraction!

Don't you saddle me with some glass-eyed budweiser spokesperson. I would prefer to hoof it down to my local watering hole and grab myself a flying bison.

You can lead a clydesdale to a brooke, but you can't make him drink, while waiting for a "za" or not.
