Buffalo Area Dart League
When I was younger we used to head to the Shebeen on Delaware Avenue to play darts. There were a bunch of dartboards in the back (real cork dartboards), which meant that there were always some good throwers hanging around. It was a very sad day when the Shebeen closed up (to make room for another club) and was remodeled. That's about the time that I stopped playing darts. And since that time I have run into a lot of bars and clubs that have switched to the electronic dartboards. I know that they can be fun and a lot of people enjoy them, the machines make money for the bars, but at the same time many of the bars and pubs opted for quarters over atmosphere.
While looking for some information on why Buffalo has so many crows that assemble in the treetops on certain nights (if anyone has any info, please share), I came across a site dedicated to WNY darts. The Buffalo Area Dart League appears to be healthy and strong by the looks of the House Listing, which names all of the different establishments that partake in the 'sport'. Some of the clubs found in the city are Charlie O'Brien's, Blarney Castle, Checkers, Gabel's, Gecko's Pokey Joes, Swan Lounge, and Talty's. So if you're looking to get involved with the dart scene in Buffalo, check out Buffalo Area Dart League site.

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

The crows are just lazily circling above, cosmo, waiting for your "big day".
