In this One-Star Review (the only one in fact on Trip Advisor), the reviewer title's the critique with "great way to spend an afternoon," and the

Where the hamburger got its name and where it originated was honestly a mystery to me until today! You can't spell "hamburger" without Hamburg!  It's true.  The favorite American Classic food originated here in Western New York in 1885! The s...

So there I am looking at YouTube on my phone looking to kill time at the dentists office when, what's this?  A video of Buffalo in the Winter of 1945!  (Video credit to jmv123 via YouTube) Being an admirer of history, I started to think, what's the furthest back I can recall in regards to Buffalo winter storms and blizzards? Obvio...

There was a recent post on Reddit that caught my eye. In particular one from a person who lived here and has been gone for several years.  She's curious about moving back and asked people on the site what are their favorite things about the area since the recent "boom" as she described it. ...

A local student from Hamburg, NY, gets on the national stage!  The Buffalo News reports that 14-year-old Hamburg High School Student Aidan Doran will play a part in "The Jim Gaffigan Show," a series on TVLand.  How cool is that? From Th...

Tens of thousands of people got together to witness a Buffalo tradition, the St. Patrick's Day parade on Delaware Avenue in downtown Buffalo, on a beautiful sunny day.  If you didn't catch the parade, or want to relive the very cool event, here is a quick video showing some highlights! ...

Today we check out the Town of Clarence to see what are the Top 3 things to do according to Trip Advisor! (Reviews included) 1.  Antique World Market - Western New York's largest antique and flea market! "This place is great for treasure hunters and and bargain hunters alike. There ar...

I've got to admit, it is gonna be weird not seeing a weather report without News 4 WIVB meteorologist Don Paul on my TV screen.  Like many Western New Yorkers, I've grown accustomed to seeing him tell us if it will rain, snow (especially here) or sunny nearly all my life.  Don Paul fir...

So there I am strolling through downtown Buffalo on my lunch break and what do I find?  A couple of guys playing the bagpipes strolling through Key Center! Obviously part of the seemingly "all-weekend" celebration of St. Patrick's Day which was yesterday..but...
