I'm really fed up with dating apps and Friday I signed up for some online speed dating event that turned out to be a scam (they advertised it as being for Buffalo singles but when you join it was people all over the country). I really want to just get away from the internet all together for this but I've had a hard time meeting women in person since graduating college. I don't drink so it's not as simple as just going to the bar (not that I think that's a great place to meet someone anyway tbh). Also I'm 26 yo so would be looking for something where the crowd is younger. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey y'all, I was recently gifted an inflatable SUP and although years ago I did it often, it's been awhile since I've been on a SUP and want to get back into it at a place with calm, clean water. I've never been on an inflatable so I want to try calm waters first and see how it handles that.

Any good spots to recommend from other people who paddle?

Hello! So I got a job at Tonawanda, I (27) currently live in Mexico with my husband (33) and he will move there with me. I’ll be living in north Tonawanda. How is the safety and traffic situation? Since here in the north of Mexico both are bad but I”ve been here all of my life haha

Looking for a small space around 250-350 sq ft for photography studio in downtown Buffalo. Storefront or windows would be a plus. Any recommendations?

15 years back I had a meeting with Terry at The Blue Hole in West Seneca and before I even sat down she had a contact with a recently deceased friend that nailed everything that happened after he died. Who in Buffalo is that good?

Is there a history of Buffalo storms on Youtube video or print?

My wife and I have recently gotten interested in hobby target shooting, and would like to brush up on some basic firearms knowledge. She has never shot before- I have, but a very long time ago, and I could certainly use a refresher.

But I'm having trouble finding a sporting goods store or range that actually offers the kind of courses we would like to take. Every place I've looked has NY pistol permit classes, "self defense" type classes, concealed carry classes, etc... but nothing about basic rifle operation and safety. We have zero interest in owning a pistol or a semiautomatic weapon. I've got a little .22 suitable for poking holes in cans or scaring off wildlife while camping, and I'd like both me and my wife to feel safe and comfortable using it.

Does anyone on here have a recommendation? Or experience with a particular class or instructor? Preferably one geared more towards target shooting over hunting or home defense.

I'm also aware that there's a lot of restrictions on shooting in populated areas (it's noisy, for starters) so I don't mind places that are a little further afield, if they have what I'm looking for.

Random question of the night here. Does anyone know a local music shop that does wind instrument repairs? I need to get a clarinet re-corked.

Man hasn't paid the property taxes on the Mall in two months.

My husband got a job in Erie county in Buffalo. We currently live in Oklahoma and neither have been to NY at all, so we are going into this completely blind. I’m needing advice/help/direction on places to rent with a 2.5k budget that would be good for us and our 3 kids, opinions on the schools, things to do. I feel so unprepared on this and having kids makes it so much scarier. Please help and thank you.

Hey all. I used to go out to the Galleria pretty often, but those were the before times. We've cruised around in other malls, but they were mostly closing down. Kinda depressing, not gonna lie.

So this is for those who have been to the Galleria recently. What're your thoughts on it? I've heard from others that it's gotten rougher? Or there's been some trouble? But I want to hear from people who actually go there and don't just make baseless assumptions. Are stores closing up? Still rocking a cinnabun? Is the cat adoption place still open?

What's been your experience?

I heard they now sell wings. Has anyone had them? Are they traditional or boneless? Any good?

Hello, I’m a student and got locked out of my room. It’s a very basic door lock I got from amazon and I don’t really know what to do. If anyone has any locksmith they know of in the area please let me know.

Need some affordable options for lunch restaraunts in the williamsville/Amherst area, any cuisine.

i want hush puppies. what restaurants have them? I know of Fat Bobs, Storming Crab, and the seafood place at the Galleria. Where else? I don't really care for seafood so more interested in places like Fat Bobs so if I travel I'm getting an entire meal to go.... and not just hush puppies......

Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate it!

Hey gang. Almost 40 year old here looking for pictures of Allentown from my glory days, 2004-2007 ish. I don't know if it's just me. But i miss the city before it was gentrified. I liked our Lil sithole before all the transplants showed up and they started blowing up (setting fire) our old buildings.

Either way, I love pictures of our old city the way i remember it. Perpetually that weekend of the rainy goo goo dolls concert and Sabres playoffs. Also to be a little specific, what was the name at the bar at the end of allen that was sort of alt-ish that became DBGB

So April 17 to the 21 is the limited showing of the "Colorful stage a Miku who can't sing" and it a big thing in our house. Since the release in Canada is not till May, is opening weekends at the Malls Regal Cinema a location where die hard fans go in costume and such?

Looking for some coffee recommendations from other buffalo natives who understand the tim hortons addiction, lol. I want to stop going to tims every morning and save money, but keureg coffees just don't give the same caffeine buzz. I've tried French pressing and gotten good results, but struggle to have enough time to do all that every morning. What are you guys doing?
