If you find yourself heading down Richmond Avenue this Saturday, keep your eyes peeled for this veggie and dog treat stand. Remember Bonny Bonz from the micropark Bark Yard (see post)? Bonnie sells her all natural, organic dog treats to the four-legged customers after they’ve had their share of play for the day. When she’s at the dog park she’s all about peddling her dog treats, but then she puts on a different sale’s hat when she heads home.

Bonny has cleverly figured out that if she can sell healthy treats to dogs, why shouldn’t she do the same for people. So with a permit and some produce, she now sets up at the corner of Richmond and Vermont. It’s a great sight to see - someone who takes the time to grow and sell her own produce. Some may ask why she isn’t at the Bidwell Market on Saturdays to catch all of the pedestrian traffic. Bonnie has chosen to stick to the basics and sell to the people who are in her direct vicinity. She does this probably due to familiarity and also because she is not a ‘farmer’ in the true sense of the word. This is not a ‘sell, sell, sell’ operation. Rather it is a chance for her to make a couple of extra bucks while contributing something special to her neighborhood.

  • My Favorite Buildings

    After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

    This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …
