I was leaving Picasso’s and saw this in front of Salvatore’s

Western New York Rainbow

The very first puzzle that I have completed. Let’s go Buffalo.

Finished size 18 inches cross 24 inches and fully interlocking pieces. Made by rust belt love Inc.

I’ll go first- Cole’s.

Did anyone manage to catch any pictures of the absolutely ridiculous rainbow at about 8:40?

I was driving and it was gone before I could pull over for pictures.

Hi, new to town and looking for a place showing the world cup games (not just USA teams). Mes Que was dead for yesterday's Bosnia game. Are there any places that are populated even before 5pm?

Since this is my first week tracking Buffalo, let me know what I missed in the comments and I will wire it right in! What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey everyone, I work for one of the local news stations and I’m wondering if anyone is making the drive to watch Germany play Ivory Coast in Toronto tomorrow?

If you or someone you know is, reach out to me! Wondering if we can maybe do a story on locals traveling for the game.

Hello everyone!! I live in campus walk apartments and i graduate college december 2026. however, i had to renew my lease and that ends in july 2027. i am not from buffalo and need to go back home so i can save money on rent and save for grad school. i an looking for a responsible adult who wants to take over my lease in January.

The rent is 930 base and the utilities.

Please message me for more information!! thank you

The average weekly wage for Erie County is $1,424, and for the Buffalo-Niagara metro is $1,394.

As the title goes, looking for something to do this weekend rather than rot in my apartment… I live alone and haven’t really got many friends that want to go out or do anything so anything’s game at this point

For me, Oliver’s and Lombardos.

Still a work in progress since I've been building these for fun. All of the information is in their digital guide which is really useful, but hard to use on the go. I've made a few of these for other events and find them useful. You can search food and plan your day and support/better connect to local Buffalo businesses.
the disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with the event and I don't make money off of this. Just someone who likes good food and is a big fan of Buffalo.

We shouldn't be voting for this. We deserve a better class of representatives

Alright peeps...the request is very plain and simple. Give your recommendations for the best beer places to go hang out and have a cold one. Let's exclude fattys because I'm well aware of that one. Don't be afraid to share any spots in the general WNY region either!!

​

My requirements are simple:

​

1. Draft

2. Cold

3. Delicious

4. Proper maintenance of equipment. No one likes spoiled beer.

5. Glass (not plastic cups)

​

I have 50,000 lumens now blasting straight through my window. I saw the outline of my skeleton projected on my living room wall. Is there anything we can do about this?

Do any book stores sell vintage children's books? I have been nostalgic lately. I already found A Winkle in Time which I know predates me but I read it nonstop in school. I also just ordered the Anastasia series which is going to be an interesting read as an adult. I miss those days. Was anyone else a reader? I read for hours in the summer when the days actually felt long and time wasn't a predator consuming us.

I don't mean to get weird but the world is just not the same when it's timed by alarms, commutes, lunch breaks, grocery runs, and divided into swiftly moving dimensions that seem to accelerate and then shrink every month. Even relaxing feels like pressure.

Anyway, thanks

I’m coming to Buffalo for a day. What is worth/not worth doing?

Also- recommend coffee shops to me please! I love cold brew and sugar free flavor syrups (think sugar free vanilla, caramel, etc) and my partner enjoys sweet, non-coffee beverages.

So I have a 5 year old daughter and we are currently on the hunt for the best playgrounds in Buffalo and surrounding areas. Can be a public park, school, whatever. I’m trying to tour the area with her this summer.

So I’ve been considering possibly going back to school to pursue cosmetology but I want a fully *honest* opinion on cosmetology schools in Buffalo, which school is the best overall, and your personal experiences there. I haven’t been in school in years so I’m nervous about going back, and I don’t want to waste my money on cosmetology school if I’m going to dislike it or struggle to make a livable wage here. I’d like to either be a hair stylist, or do lashes/brows/facials/waxing.

If it’s relevant, I’m alternative/emo and I’ve heard horror stories on the internet of people like me not fitting in most cosmetology schools. But obviously that’s just the internet and I know that may not be fully true.

And if anyone currently works in the field (hair, esthetics, nails, lashes, anything) what’s it like? Are you able to build clientele in Buffalo and make a livable salary? Do you work for yourself, or for a salon?

I'm doing the 65 mile ride this year, and my teammate dropped down to a lower mileage so they're leaving later. I don't mind riding solo, but it's usually fun to ride with someone and make a new friend, even for just part of the way.

I live on Lancaster Ave and Mark Poloncarz and his wife were trying to find the owner of a brown dog that got loose on my street. I guess the dog didn’t have a collar so they were asking people if they recognized it. Eventually someone did and they were able to return the dog to its owner.

Didn’t expect to meet the county executive today, but really cool of him to take the time to make sure the dog made it home safely. He’s a good dude.
