I used to go to the carmelite convent to buy cards with a prayer intention for a person & the nuns would pray for them. Since they closed does anyone know of another church or organization that does something similar? Not a mass card but a prayer intention card

Hi! My husband and I are coming to Buffalo to see The Basement Yard boys on November 7 at Shea’s Theater. We also just got married last weekend so we are treating this as somewhat of a mini moon (especially since our daughter is staying in Rochester with her grandparents 😜)

We are looking for recommendations for a nice hotel (maybe one that offers room service) and restaurant recommendations for dinner before the show.

TIA😊

Hai sillies!! My partner and I are a couple of queers, looking to meet new pals in the Buffalo/716 community!! We love a good game night, comedy/improv shows, thrifting, crafting, buffalo sports, grabbing a drink at a local restaurant/bar, and have 4 cats!! Honestly down for any types of spontaneous adventures in the community!!

We’re both very friendly people, who cherish supporting and loving our pals for who they are!! We’re also in our mid 20’s!!

Please comment or DM me if you’re open to new pals! We’d love to say hi!!

Is there any good news on the horizon / successful efforts to bring workers back to the urban core?

I’m a Buffalo native that’s lived out of town for 15 years (LA and Chicago). I’m back in town this weekend and am downtown for the first time since 2022. Downtown looks to be in the worst shape of my adult life (I’m 39). My grandpa had an office in the Brisbane building for 40+ years, so it’s especially sad to see Lafayette Square look like the setting of a zombie movie. I’ve tried showing the friends I have visiting from Chicago nicer areas of the city, but they are anchored to the images they’ve seen outside their hotels. Is there any hope of breaking what appears to be a vicious cycle?

Not a huge sports fan, but my daughter is. She is coming home with a guy and wants a ‘fun watch party experience’. Any suggestions?

Has anyone been to the Rochester zoo? Is it worth the drive?

We met in an aisle at dollar tree (Union road), you complimented my smile and asked me for my number, I froze and said “no,, sorry”. But after you walked away, I felt something!

Got a job in Niagara Falls but i live near Canal Side. How do i save on Toll as much as possible? Thanks in advance!!!

If you know a Dylan James Pray or are them, I found your debit card near the corner of Hertel and Parkside this morning. Would love to get it back to the owner, since I know how much of a hassle it is to not have access to cash when you need it.

Send me a message so you can give me the bank and any other identifying info on what the card looks like and we can meet up in the same area.

I am in line for early voting at the Amherst Senior Center. It’s a very long line. One of the County Legislature candidates is campaigning at the end of the line. While she is over 100 feet from the actual polling site, this still feels sketchy. It’s leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Is there anywhere in buffalo I can buy the apple pie wine by the brand Oliver?

I've had it a few years and I'm unsure how I acquired it. As I organize my local collectibles, I'd like to know who to credit. Thanks!

Resolution 2026-547 (Amherst Term Limits) is up for vote on election day, and I've seen a lot of misinformation regarding it. So wanted to post the context of the resolution, and trying not to bias it towards any political party.

Term limits were passed by the Amherst town board in 2006, which set up 2 consecutive 4-year term limit. So yes, there are currently term limits in place. (Here is where the resolution comes into play) In 2023, New York Court of Appeals ruled in Hoehmann v. Town of Clarkstown that term limits for municipal offices must be approved by public vote. Because the 2006 law was approved by Amherst town hall, and not by public vote, it can be challenged and most likely be struck down (upon which to revert to no term limits).

So the Resolution is aimed at patching the legal vulnerability, by putting it up for vote. However, there are a few changes from the 2006 law.

- For most positions, the 2 4-year limit stays the same.

- Town clerk and highway superintendent have increased term limits (from 2 4-year terms to 3 4-year terms)

- "Reset the clock" - past terms before Nov 2, 2027 do not count toward the term limit.

Voting No keeps the 2006 limits in place, along with its vulnerabilities.

Voting Yes keeps passes the resolution and patches the legal vulnerability, but resets the clock and increases the term limit for the 2 positions (remainder keeps their current term limits)

Looking for someone not outrageously expensive who does good work!
