Buffalo Garden Gets National Recognition
Jim Locke and his late wife Mary started a garden at 75 Lancaster Avenue in Buffalo. After Mary lost her battle to cancer, a few years went by and Annabelle Irey appeared on the scene, bringing with her a heritage of gardening. Now, the garden that Jim and Mary started and was continued by Jim and Annabelle will be featured in the Summer ’08 issue of Better Homes & Garden’s Garden Ideas and Outdoor Living.
The magazine is published quarterly by Better Homes & Garden’s Special Interest Media. The garden is known as “Mary’s Garden” and 11 photographs of the property, including some of its unique plants, are being featured. The magazine will be returning in June ’08 to photograph two more Buffalo gardens.
“Mary’s Garden” is one of the popular stops on Garden Walk Buffalo, which is coming up in July. The magazine is available by subscription and at some newsstands. If you want to learn more about this article or Garden Walk Buffalo, visit the website Jim Charlier, President of Garden Walk Buffalo, created.

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:55am

I'd rather see no comments that read some idiot spouting off.
