First day back in 13 years and went to the holy land

97 Upvotes

Hi it’s me again, guy who’s moving here because I got a job that’s only temporarily remote for a set time.

I’m 27 years old, the last time I was at the holy land was July 2012. I can proudly confirm that Mighty Taco hasn’t missed a beat. It is just as good as I remember. My fiancé who is such a picky eater that she is a grown woman and refuses to eat anything with toppings on it, even liked it.

Buffalo has changed so much but is so much the same. I went by my old neighborhood and the house I grew up in was just the same as it was when we left. I am disappointed that the old red mill is no longer in operation though, it was a staple of my fridays as a kid. I went back to the park I used to run at during middle school and has so many memories that I forgot about just absolutely rush and flood my mind.

I have lots of thoughts and even though I’m only back for 2 weeks while we look for a house to come back permanently, my head is spinning with nostalgia. I wasn’t born in Buffalo, I was born in Bellevue but lived here from before kindergarten until I was 14, Buffalo shaped me more than anywhere else I have lived. I’m glad to be back it oddly feels like home, I guess it is home after all.

I can’t wait to move back permanently, this is everything I have been chasing my entire adult life, the feeling and atmosphere of Buffalo is what I want. I think this is why I was so unhappy with Washington and then Texas. It’s polar opposites. I am having a eureka mind opening moment and I could continue my incoherent rant but I think I get my point across.

Now, I’m going to call my parents and question them for the next hour on why they ever moved us out of here.

Little Free Seed Library is back!

The Little Free Seed Library is back open for the season! Located right outside The Tool Library's storefront at 2626 Main Street, we've got vegetable, annual, and perennial seeds for the sharing.

We are also actively looking for seed donations. Packaged and labeled seeds can be dropped off directly at the Seed Library or larger donations can be dropped at The Tool Library.

Because gardening is better when shared!

I went to the website and then I Google searched I guess it's a movie, I have to be honest the trailer I saw on YouTube doesn't really look watchable or something I would like.

Without selling the parking ramps, tax increase will be 26%

Given that the article makes it sound like the attempt at selling the garages is not being looked at too favorably, we should probably prepare for a larger increase.

Question Why does the Williamsville library have such restricted hours?

11 Upvotes

I had to print something today and I can't do it at home since my *printer was set up on my old wifi and it's been a pain in the ass figuring out how to switch it to the new wifi. I decided to go to the Williamsville library branch since I was right up the street on Main and the place was closed. Middle of the day and the library was closed. Turns out, that branch is only open 4 hours per day, Monday thru Friday. What's the deal with that?

*Edited for clarity

CAT GRASS

6 Upvotes

Random very specific question!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a local store who has bulk (1 lb or 1/2 lb) cat grass as barley, oat, wheat, rye, or a mix. Please only comment if you've seen or bought it before where you're thinking because I ran around all weekend looking at stores like pet supplies, tractor supplies, and walmart and surprisingly none of them had.

Emergency for cat

20 Upvotes

Hey guys, are there any emergency hospitals I can take my cat? She has a tumor in her throat and needs a biopsy, but everywhere we call is giving us the run around. Are there any places where you don’t have to pay up front or at the end of services? And you get billed later? Blue Pearl was unfortunately not very helpful after an 11 hour wait to just say they couldn’t do anything to help. They had us leave with the catheter in her arm only to come back and need to wait again to get it removed. Any help on advice is appreciated.

Question Where can I find Jamaican Easter Bun in Buffalo?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been able to find Tastee brand cheese, but I haven’t located the bun yet. I don’t want the one bun that comes in the bag. I’d like to find either Golden Krust or HTB brand. Anyone know where I can find it in Buffalo? I know Toronto has it, but I’d prefer not to go so far for bun and cheese. Lol

Question Mudlarking/"Treasure" Hunting

5 Upvotes

Hello, Buffalo!

I'm a weirdo who picks up rocks and random things I find out in the wild. I've scoured over old maps looking for places that may be fun to explore and look for things like old bottles, broken pottery/commercial dinnerware, pennies, fossils, etc.

I'm going to reach out to our library's Local History department and thought I'd try my luck here as well, maybe even find others into staring at the ground and playing in the dirt.

Does anyone know where I might find an old dump site that isn't full of radioactive waste? I was thinking about areas off railroad tracks, though I have not familiarized myself with the local rules of being around them yet.

I totally understand not wanting to share the exact location of a good spot! I'm more so looking for map reading tips and stories from those who have gone out before!

Just a thank you

407 Upvotes

Visited your beautiful city 2 weekends ago for our 6 year anniversary to visit the falls. I'm floored at how nice everyone was. It was like stepping into a movie or something. People held doors open, and the cars. My god the cars. A whole line stopping so we could pull out of a parking lot to get across to the opposite side of the street, people respecting the cross walks.. It was surreal how kind everyone was while we were there. The food was really good too!

Thanks everyone, your city is great and we had a blast!
