Got a Good Photo? Win $100 Gift Certificate

As you look outside your office window today, you're likely overtaken by the sheer beauty. Blowing snow. People hunched over, freezing, trying to walk into a 30MPH wind. You're probably reading from the script of American Beauty:
Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it... and my heart is going to cave in.
Or, maybe you're just thinking "Oh f#@!, I have to drive home in this s*$#."
Either way, we're here to lift your spirits.
If you'd like to be eligible to receive a free $100 gift certificate to Duo, send us a great photo. It can be a photo of anything. A person. A place. A thing. But let's keep it clean.
Whoever sends the best Buffalo-related photo - the most interesting, captivating and/or funny photo of Buffalo people, buildings, or vistas - will receive the $100 gift certificate. Send your photo to contest@buffalorising.com.
Submissions are due by Friday at 10am and we'll announce the winner on Friday afternoon. We'll likely be repeating this content weekly, so stay tuned.

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 …
Free light rail rides on downtown's above ground section could be derailed thanks to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's budget mess. That is the news coming out of a Buffalo Place meeting this morning. Facing a budget shortfall and reduced State operating assistance, the NFTA is scrambling for new revenue sources and is contemplating charging for rides along the lengthy downtown pedestrian mall.
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 …
