Human To Help The Human Race
It seems a lot of people are interested in running for the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in marathons around the country through their Team Cure Challenge program. Every person who participates in the program has a reason to run, and Carolyn Human is no different. She’ll run the 13.1-mile Disney Half Marathon this January and is busy gathering sponsors and donations to make her run worthwhile. She’s running in the memory of both of her grandmothers who lost their lives to cancer and to help reach her goal of $3,600, she’s holding an event at Omega Lounge.
Omega Lounge is helping Human hold “Help the Human Race Happy Hour” from 5 until 8 PM on December 4th. DJ Rob Decker will be spinning a three-hour set at the upscale bar and food and drink specials will abound. Tickets are $20 and go to help Human as she prepares to run the half marathon. What’s more is that CityLove Clothing is also helping Human by selling their wares during the Happy Hour and giving a portion of the proceeds to Human.
You can purchase tickets at CityLove Clothing at 901 Elmwood Avenue or by visiting Human’s website. From there, you can also watch her progress as she inches closer to reaching her goal by January. Come on out and support a good cause while checking out one of the newest bars on Chippewa.

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
