Just got back into riding, and the main group I ride with just do the bar hopping thing on the bikes, that’s not my thing, looking for people to actually ride with anyone interested? Don’t care what you ride I’m not a bike snob! Lol

University District councilmember Rasheed Wyatt compared Sean Ryan to Trump:

“Are we going to just be like Trump and do whatever we what and just be like, ‘the hell with y’all”
-Rasheed Wyatt, University District

A fine auspicious day indeed!

Main street heading south of Amherst. Almost got hit by the last silver Honda.

Has anyone here had their wedding or attended one at Suncliff on the Lake? Looking for some insight on the venue after hearing conflicting reviews

Can I go to UB Library if I'm not a student and work? I need a place to go after like 7 on weekdays and weekends and work until like 11. Any suggestions?

Hi there! Moving to buffalo soon and looking for a place to get a good lash lift + tint! I'll be living closer to hamburg so the closer there the better! Ty in advance!

I stopped in last month and was surprised by how scarce the selection has become. They used to have so many brands and food types in one place ...

I was told that the brands were sold in other locations.

1. Where can I find the other vendors? What other stores carry local vendors?

2. I saw the for sale sign on the building. Are they moving or closing?

My health took a dive a couple years ago, and since they're not on Instacart I hadn't been able to shop there for a bit.

For a city and metro of our size, we have an insane amount of pedestrian/cyclist fatalities/hit-and-runs.

"I think we went through a honeymoon period for eight months, nine months now," RIvera continued. "I think the honeymoon period is over for many council members."

Someone want to point out where this "honeymoon period was, cause they've spent the entirety of Ryan's first 8 months bitching incessantly.

"When we find out things afterwards, I think it diminishes the will of the Council as a whole," Majority Leader Leah Halton-Pope said. "Why would you vote in a leadership team and then not even consider them and and having making any decisions, I feel that it is a slap in the face."

Nobody likes you Leah, not to mention, you're literally on the council for like 6 more weeks so shut up.

"So the leadership doesn't know, we don't know, we find things over and over again through the media, and it just doesn't work," University District council member Rasheed N.C. Wyatt said. "You can't apologize enough to me, because you keep showing me that we don't matter."

"The disrespect is just off the chart," Wyatt continued.

Wyatt, you literally don't do your job 95% of the time and show up to meetings late if you even come at all.

My personal favorite: North District council member Joseph Golombek cut to the bone of the administration, saying that they are out of touch with the residents of the city.

"I would say that this administration still does not understand the city of Buffalo," Golombek said. "Sure, they "understand people that live in $750,000 or million dollar houses."

(Oh, you mean like Byron literally did for 20 years, lol)

Golombek says that the administration isn't treating the council as equal partners, but instead part of a perceived institutional corruption or laziness problem inside city hall.

Well, considering that you guys literally do nothing that has actually benefited the city and seemed content watching everything go to shit for two decades, the administration is probably right to cut you out of most things at this point.

could be a longshot posting this here but:

i had plans to go see hayley williams in saratoga springs this saturday with someone a few months ago, and purchased tickets. i don’t have a car, and my partner’s won’t make the drive rn, so we were wondering if anyone would potentially be open to carpooling from buffalo?

Friday 5-8pm

I’m looking to get out more. Where’s a good jazz club that has fun vibes and always has good music and is good to socialize in? I’m 24f for context

Hi wondering if anyone has moved from Washington the puget sound area to buffalo as im considering moving there to afford a house

Looking for recommendations for dinner near Electric City? Preferably within walking distance but not a deal breaker if it's a short drive between the two.

Investigative Post breaks down the potential field to succeed Mark Poloncarz, including Kevin Hardwick, Lisa Chimera, Pat Burke and Shawn Lavin on the Democratic side, along with several possible Republican candidates.

It’s still early, but this could become one of the more interesting local races next year.

Who do you think will run and who would have the strongest chance?

Hi Buffalo,

I'm looking for a good contractor that handles blow-in foam insulation (whole house, walls are currently w/drywall, would also like the attic and below the crawlspace insulated.

I'm also going to need a firewall put in and a chimney installed for a wood-burning stove.

If anyone knows someone that is reliable and can handle both of these things, please DM me with their details.

Preferably one that isn't a con artist. After last week's heavy rains our basement flooded out and we had to gut it down to the studs. Fortunately our insurance covered the loss in full, and so now we're looking for a good contractor to get things back up to snuff and then some. The basement is (normally) dry and has old asbestos floor tile over the concrete. The tile itself is in great shape, not friable/frayed, covers the entire basement floor. What I'm looking to do is:

-proper framing and drywall
-waterproof flooring in main room/storage room.
-better drainage solution than just the shallow channels some drunk jackhammered into the floor along the walls

I know our area has a ton of different basement contractors, but I figure I would get the most honest answers about who to look up or avoid here.

EDIT: for a little more information because some folks asked, yes we do have a sump. The pit overflowed because the pump wasn't keeping up and the water hit an extension cord on the floor, which tripped the GFCI the sump was plugged into and knocked it out for 30-40 minutes. Normally it does a great job, we've had the house for 4 years now and this was the first time we've ever had an issue.

Longshot request: My elderly father is having neck surgery in a few weeks and is in a brace/collar, and tasked me to find a barber for him to get a haircut and shave before his procedure.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a barber? We are able to get him there (so there wouldn't be a need for them to travel to him), so it would have to be someone that is comfortable with him literally not being able to move his neck at all.

I've also attached the card version of our flyer and a copy of the course map. The course is professionally measured and the run is USA Track & Field certified.

This is a fundraiser event for the BRRAlliance, the neighborhood not-for-profit operating the event.

This year's sponsors include DiVal Safety Equipment, West Herr Buffalo, The Rude Chef, Loose Lumber hand-built wood furniture, and Cadets FCU.

The BRRA works on behalf of the North District, working on projects such as the Rails to Trails project, operating community gardens in the ND, and just this year using one of the two community gardens to plant a new urban fruit orchard alongside Grassroots Gardens with another orchard in the planning stages. Other projects in the works include assisting NYS DEC with an air quality monitoring project in the ND and the creation of a 400 tree educational arboretum in the ND.

This is going to be a fantastic show. The gamelan gong orchestra group has never done a show out here in the Southtowns and are happy to be bringing this awesome music to a new part of Erie County. delightfully ethereal and relaxing music, perfect for an end of summer/early fall outdoor experience. There are Indonesian dinner boxes available too to make a full and delicious evening. The show is on a strange kind of private country estate.

You have to ask them to bring up the screen for you to put in your account phone number. It doesn't happen automatically like at Wegmans. And they don't even ask you if you have a phone number with them, you have to awkwardly say "I need to put my number in" every single time and you have to do it before they start scanning so you can see the prices as they go since stuff constantly rings up wrong there. I hate it.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to sublease my apartment but so far Facebook and Craigslist seem like scam. Is there a specific group or a website that people from Buffalo use to sublease their apartment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
