New Organization From The Buffalo Niagara Partnership

The Buffalo Niagara Partnership encompasses almost 2,500 employers who are dedicated to helping the region prosper. After much success in bringing its members together to connect, network, and learn from their peers, the partnership came up with a new idea to gear towards professionals: Buffalo Niagara 360. The new organization dedicated to helping showcase what the region has to offer to professionals – from jobs, to places to live, to places to play.
Buffalo Niagara 360 will be attempting to show professionals how much the Buffalo Niagara region has available while offering a way to attract other professionals to the area. The newly founded program will try to coordinate efforts to retain and attract professionals, a way to help employers find professionals, network together the future business leaders of the region, and a recruitment and marketing tool for the region. The program will officially launch on October 16th from 5:30 until 8:30 PM at the historic Electric Tower at 535 Washington Street.
The launch party will feature wine by Niagara Wine Trail, cash bars with beer and cocktails in two levels of the tower, a DJ station sponsored by New Era Cap, and information on living in Buffalo Niagara from Hunt Real Estate. The event is completely free; all they ask is that you register, though it is not required. If you have any questions or would like more information about the event, shoot Buffalo Niagara 360 an e-mail.

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.

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 …

One of the most important issues that this area faces is retaining its young talent. If we can get just a fraction of the downstate/out-of-state people to stay in the region (not to mention native wny-ers) it would greatly help the prospects of our city. GET EVERYONE YOU CAN TO COME TO THIS! Hey, worst case, they have a good time with some free entertainment.

Maybe Rudnick can show up and tell everyone how superior he is and how his little club hurts the community more than it helps, no thanks Andrew!
