Help Santa support local businesses this Friday along Abbott Rd.
On Friday, December 12 from 5:00 until 9:00PM, South Buffalo’s, locally owned, small businessess (and your neighbors) would like to invite everyone to come out for a christmas celebration.
Every time we open our wallets to a business we are saying, “I like what you do! Keep doing it.” When we shop local, we are saying YES to a strong, vibrant local economy that translates into a unique and interesting city. We are making sure that we have diversity and choices of products and services.
When shopping local we are helping support local causes such as schools, churches and charities. We realize that there is more than monetary value to our purchases, there is community value. Ask someone to name their favorite shop or cafe and chances are it's an independent business.
Our area downtowns have made huge strides over the years to become a special place to those who live and visit here.
This holiday season, look at your Christmas lists and make a decision to purchase at least part of that list at an independent locally owned business.Let the people on your list know that you went to your favorite shop with just them in mind. And don't forget to get a little something for yourself!
Friday night, Trolley car rides(5-7PM) will take shoppers between the following local merchants: ♪ Chique Boutique ♪ Caz Cafe ♪ Dog Ears Bookstore ♪ McKay’s ♪ Tara Gift Shoppe ♪ JG Collectibles ♪ Kiddie Corner ♪ Tracy’s Retreat ♪ South End Floral.
Depending on the store, special activities and/or discounts are planned including a visit by Santa himself.
To keep with the spirit of community, each participating business will be collecting canned goods for the food pantry at St. Vincent de Paul.
Merry Xmas from Abbott Rd.

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 …

My Favorite Buildings
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 …
