Giant Scrabble Game Debuts @ Rock Harbor Yard Today
If you're hanging around the computer at this moment an still have not decided what you are going to do this afternoon, maybe a game of Scrabble could entice you to come hang around The Yard. Rock Harbor committee members were up until the wee hours of the morning painting the giant Scrabble board. The 100 oversized pieces will be finished just in time for the first band to kick off at 3:30pm (see line-up). Industrial tiles are being used as Scrabble pieces - all of which black letters were applied. And the tile holders (shields) were made out of steel and Rock Harbor lighthouses function as the legs. The board is set up right next to the shuffleboard court.
Concertgoers will also discover a six-foot stage extension along with new and improved bike locking stations. The show is totally bike-friendly and there will be veggie burgers and Flying Bison beer at the show. There's nothing quite like this in Buffalo. Or anywhere else for that matter. See you at The Yard!

So Long Elmwood, Hello University District
Ever since the Falafel Bar opened on Allen Street, it was only a matter of time before the Elmwood location was no longer for this world. I spoke to owner, Oded Rauvenpoor, who told me that the decision to close came when he was at a crossroads. He found himself happy with his Allentown diggs, but began eying another part of the city for the Elmwood restaurant. In the end, Oded decided that he wanted to try his hand in the University District (3476 Main Street). I guess there was … - Yesterday, 8:41pm

HEY! NOW THAT IS COOL! How big is the velvet crown royal bag for the letters to be drawn out of? Just wondering... How do you get to play, do you reserve a space? SO COOL!
What about life-size monopoly- or Clue- or chutes and ladders, and really have it be in a vertical format- with real slides? I'm really being serious here. LIfe size board games, who would have thought.
