Inside Four Treasures on Delaware Avenue
Delaware Avenue is the home to many of Buffalo’s architectural treasures. On Saturday, June 2, you will have the rare chance to get inside four of these landmarks. Join Martin Wachadlo, author of Oakland Place, as he explores the exclusive Saturn Club (1922), a beautiful example of Tudor Revival. See the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church, with a truly spectacular interior unchanged since it was built in 1895. Then, look around the Goodyear Mansion (1903), the luxurious home of one of Buffalo’s most prominent families. Finally, we will enter the Greek Hellenic Church, beautifully restored after a terrible fire in 2003. After the tour, stay at the church and enjoy one of Buffalo’s favorite summer events, the Greek Festival.
The two-hour tour begins at 9:30 a.m. Meet at the Saturn Club, 977 Delaware Avenue. The cost of the tour is $20.
This is expected to be a sold out tour, so reservations are highly recommended. Call 852-3300.

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.

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
