Coming Soon: The Jenny Shop
Not only is Jen stocking up on the outfits, she’s also looking at delivering cool accessories to go with them. “I’m really excited about the Kitten handbag line (made locally) and Stephanie Robb line of jewelry (also made locally). We’ll be carrying Latico Leather Company purses and business bags, Tolani Collection scarves… and if all goes well this year I plan on expanding to men’s clothing in the not-too-distant future. The storefront is just what I have been looking for… it’s brand new, there are big marble window displays, and there is a lot of activity in the Ellicott Square Building.”
I asked Jen what else she liked about being downtown and she told me that she was very excited to be located near Chop Chop and Globe Market. She also said that the Charlie the Butcher (located inside the building) was a big draw to the building for lunchtime traffic. There’s even a café across the way. The grand opening will take place March 11th. From then on, the boutique will be open Monday thru Friday from 10:30am to 5:50pm. There will also be special appointment hours in the evening and on weekends.
The Jenny Shop is located at The Ellicott Square Building 295 Main Street Suite A (easy to get to by Metro Rail).

Carl's Constitutional Convention
Carl Paladino is shaking it up once again, and next to the calling for the toll barriers to come down, this may be a hit with the general public.
"I'm asking our legislative candidates to vote for a Constitutional Convention," Paladino said. "This can happen every twenty years, the last time being 1996, but it hasn't been done since 1938."
Paladino's objective, he says, is to get both houses to vote by majority for a referendum on the ballot. This, he explains, would put to vo … - Today, 1:28pm

Hoax Revisited
The Nicole Kidman/Studio Arena hoax that recently hit the media is an opportunity for some discussion about the way news travels these days, and begs comment on the phrase "Any publicity is good publicity".
After speaking with someone closely related to Studio Arena, who wishes to stay anonymous, it seems like the Kidman hoax was timed perfectly—in order to circumvent corroboration—and named just the right names in order to look plausible. Add to that the fact that many of t … - Today, 12:51pm

Local Advertising Firm To Receive National Attention
For over a decade, PRINT Magazine has been publishing a Regional Design Annual.

They whittle down the entries in a stringent process of selection, picking only 5% of the first-rate winners from each region of the country that represent the best design, illustrations, and photography in the United States.

Casino Construction Suspension
Now that the Senecas have suspended construction on both their embattled Buffalo Creek Casino and an expansion on their Salamanca site, the question is for how long and why.
Seneca Gaming Corporations (SGC) Public Relations Manager Philip Pantano says that the time frame is indefinite and the reason is based on a downturn in casino operations across the country, though he says the Seneca facilities have experienced growth of double-digit increases in the last two quarters.

Phase out the offices in the Ellicott Square lobby and create an indoor mall to replace the Main Place mess a block away. Good luck Jen- I hope you are the first of many downtown.

The hours seem a little off. I was thinking maybe 830-630 to catch the early and late crowds at work. Otherwise this seems like it will be a test case for retail shopping downtown once again. Its located in a good area with good traffic. Best of luck to you.

Brilliant Jen! I wish you the best of luck. My husband and I are in the Warehouse Loft Building at 210 Ellicott. Loving downtown, but needing shopping. Hopefully you are the start of big trend. Perhaps you would consider a few hours on Saturday to maximize the potential of local shoppers along with office shoppers. Clearly there is a huge market of Canadian shoppers who would love to go directly downtown, stay downtown, eat downtown, enjoy theater and sports. As the spring and summer near, and people are more willing to walk outside, I hope that you will find great success.

At least open on Saturdays to get the downtown visitor crowds and those who work downtown during the week who can't make it your store except on the weekend. I know, when I worked downtown, I wasn't able to get much shopping done because I would rather Eat on my break than starve and sometimes had to stay in the office till 6pm or later and all the downtown stores are closed by then. So, being open on the weekend isn't such a bad idea, Jen.

What about closing mid day (2-4) so that you could extend in the evening?
I dunno, throwing out ideas because anyplace not open past 5 is rather impossible for most people to conveniently get to.

Now there is one upscale mens' clothing and one upscale women's clothing store downtown. Very exciting. its not a lot, but its a start! Good luck, Jen!

AvaRouge - I was thinking the same think. Looking at the picture above, ES could be a great shopping destination for higher-end mens and womens clothing. I can see the Ultimate Mens shop moving in here. I wish her only the very best and will be steering my fiancee here (though on a small budget!).
Will there be any free parking with purchase?
I believe Jen picked these hours because that is when people are downtown and in the ESB. If she had made hours after 5:30 she would have been criticized that she was missing the business crowd and that "no one" is in downtown Buffalo after 5pm.

Sounds great! Please open on the weekends! I work Mon-Fri in the burbs and won't be able to shop.

We really need to promote Shopping in Downtown on the weekends again. It's unreal to only have these businesses open during the week 9-5 while everyone is working, makes little scense when all they get are the lunch crowd (if that).
