The Buffalo News building can sometimes look a bit ominous. I admit that since I've never been inside, other than stepping through the doorway for a couple of seconds, I always wondered what it was like. The building definitely has 'man behind the curtain' look to it. Well, this was a fun photo to wrap up the Halloween week. Did you know that Harold Arlen, born on February 15, 1905, was from Buffalo? He was the composer who wrote the film score for the "Wizard of Oz", "Over the Rainbow" sung by Judy Garland.

City Living- Lifestyle, Not Economics…Yet

The Puppy Playpen Opens
Downtown workers and residents will be happy to know that a doggie daycare in the Ellicott business district has officially opened. The Puppy Playpen has transformed adjoining abandoned storefronts into a lively center for our four-legged friends. Many of the dogs are being acclimated to urban living… a lifestyle that co-owner Rosanne Higgins (pictured with her Great Dane named Sally) told me comes quite naturally for most of them. “Seeing the dogs in this downtown setting is … - Yesterday, 12:37am

So is Warren Buffet the Wizard, or the Wicked witch of the west?
Or maybe we can start calling him the great "Oracle of Oz".

Hey, Here's the Caption:
The "Yellow-Journalism Bricked Road."

"Follow the Yellow Journalism Bricked Road"
Say it ain't so Toto.

In the next picture, Warren Buffaet is the Wizard behind the curtain, eh?
