Is anybody still actually in Buffalo?

A lot of the posts I've been reading seem to be from people who have left.

Anybody actually home?

    I lived there for 31 years, but as the economy dipped and the crime started to rise to a level I'm not into we left. Now I live on the Canadian Border as far east and north that you can go in Vermont. But damn do I miss the food Bocce's Carbones Imperial WINGS WINGS WINGS no one has wings out here and if they do they charge about 10 bucks for 5 CRAZY OOO Yeah and man do I miss Mighty Taco and Slime Dogs, and for those who don't care the Buffalo Bills

      I am back in Buffalo....and of course starting to get sick of it already. But there is no leaving because I am opening a store, which should keep me here for at least the next year.

          It is a metaphysical supplies / crystals and minerals / jewelry / herbs / you name it anything else that i can get my hands on.
          The address is 1241 Hertel Avenue (between delaware and colvin) And doors should be open to customers in about a week (if the damned power company had some competition we would be open already).


          I have never eaten here, but it sounds like THE PLACE TO GO FOR PHO:

          99 Fastfood Restaurant.
          93 Niagara St. (downtown, on Niagara Sq., across from City Hall), Buffalo. 852-0462.
          Also: [m] 3396 Bailey Ave., Buffalo. 836-6058.

          Japanese and Vietnamese. (Formerly called "Pho 99". Reviews are for the original location downtown.)

          I ate here in [6/01] and had a very tasty "rice vermicelli combo" (Bun Tom, Thit Nuong, Cha Gio) consisting of rice vermicelli, pork skewers, egg rolls, and charbroiled shrimp, with a sauce that I used as a dipping sauce until the waiter came over near the end of my meal and told me I was supposed to pour it over the whole thing. I had a Conchita milkshake: a milkshake-like, fruit-flavored beverage (other varieties include Jack, Avocado, and Durian).

          [MEL, 5/99] says: "One of the few ethnic restaurants in downtown Buffalo. This new restaurant specializes in pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), though I also had a very good salmon teriyaki here. Service is not quite fast food, but still pretty fast. A truly welcome addition."

    I'm here (though just moved), and trying to find fun people to do coffee shops/play stupid board games/go to museums...whatever. Have a lot of people left, or are there still good communities out here?

    Anyone interested in getting together for pizza and board games? I have Taboo, Clue, Therapy, etc.

        I'd definitely be up for setting something up. I'm in north Buffalo. I have indeed been meeting some cool people....are there places where grad/professional students tend to go? Also, there were fun events happening this weekend, which of course were all shattered...haha. Has anyone been on one of those evening history/ghost tours?

      There is a huge tribal bellydance festival here in Buffalo in a few weeks. Two big shows. One show is on Friday, July 13th. It will showcase students and student troupes. Saturday will be the gala show with all the main tribal bellydance instructors who are teaching at the workshops that weekend. The instructors are some of the best in the country and even in the world. It's all taking place at The Church on Delaware. Check out the info at www.northernmigration.net If you want to see something amazing, definatly check it out. The woman who is hosting this won the Artvoice award for "best genre defying artist".

      And there is always Shakespeare in Del. Pk. and festivals. Buffalo isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Its more that the people who complain about the city are just boring people with zero imagination.
