Hi, we are visiting family on Lafayette near Delaware this week and are looking forward to Porch fest, but are curious about any road closures. Thanks!

I have never been to Porchfest before. Is this the type of event you would bring children to?

My sibling and I think it could be fun to bring the kids, but a couple of them are kind of young, like 3 and 5.

Are we setting ourselves up to have a bad time?

hiya, i'm looking to get my bartending license- wondering which place is most recommended? looking for in-person classes with flexible scheduling! i see a lot of options with a quick google search.

thanks :)

Does catholic health test for marijuana? Also, do any other hospitals in the area (kaleida, Ecmc, Roswell, etc.). I would be working in a non-clinical role

Had a gas leak in my home Tuesday afternoon, nat fuel came out and shut it off immediately. We called a plumbing company who came out thought they fixed it, national fuel came back advised the issue was not resolved. Plumber came back and I believe found the other issue and fixed it. We called national fuel back to advise that the problem was fixed Wednesday around 430-5pm. We have a 1 year old child in the house and no hot water. Have called them multiple times today first time at 10am was told someone would be here within 2 hours, no one shows up I give it until about 330 then call to see what’s going on they tell me we are next in line someone will be here after their current call. 630pm comes and still nothing I call again and am told we are assigned to someone and they will be out. 8pm comes still nothing I call again this person tells me they will try to be here tonight but they can never give guarantees on when they will be out.

Now it’s 10 pm still no one has come, is there any kind of regulation in regard to how long they can wait/ the fact they lied to me about coming today especially when I have a child in the house and no hot water or stove to make him food?

Recommendations for best and cheapest places to get a oil change in the cheektowaga/amherst area

I find myself going with the flow of traffic most times at a steady 65-70. Sometimes traffic in the middle lanes at 70-75 on parts of the 90 and 290. The 33 is wild flow. I usually stay to the right at a steady 60. With the posted signs reading 55 or 50 in our area. It makes me wonder why not just raise the speed limit? Besides the weather mattering. Just my opinion. What's yours?.

Over the last few years I’ve realized there are no deals at these stores. You will find better deals at Trader Joe’s and even Whole Foods. These stores are a scam.

Have you ever wondered about the socio-economic-political-ethnic makeup of your neighborhood? This very interesting interactive map will show you minute details down to your specific block. Very interesting stuff; for instance, the West Side is very clearly the most (only?) ethnically diverse section of the city. Other info is more predictable, like high incomes in Elmwood Village. Check it out if you have a moment:

I’m supporting some friends and family at the upcoming half marathon in Buffalo next weekend! I’m looking for some creative punchlines or ideas to put on signs when cheering everyone on! Was hoping to make some Buffalo related (e.g., Bills, wings, etc). Any ideas?!? Thanks!

So, I'm 17 and a huge fan of hockey, and I wanted to start playing, but I have zero idea where to start. I played hockey for a semester in my middle school, but that's all the experiance I have. I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for me, or any place that allows pickup hockey games.

Further density proposed for Amherst.

The lady says sonics is not too far and is decent, but I ain't a grizzly guy. Any other amarican chains near the boarder that would be worth checking out?

I have a new puppy and 2 small children all of whom need to get some energy out in the evening, looking for some suggestions on dog parks with close by playgrounds so my husband and I can get them out and about.

The NYS welcome center on GI is great but the kids appreciate variety. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I recently graduated this past Saturday, unfortunately on that same day my mother got quite upset with me (because she did not like her seating) and kicked me out of the house. I am aware as an adult she doesn’t need to house me, and I should consider myself lucky she housed me as long as she did. But I feel to kick your child out on their graduation day, and give them maybe 2 days worth of clothing and no other possessions, and not check if they have anywhere to go is kinda hurtful..

Anyways. I have basically no adult skills, have never applied to an apartment, and have no clue on what to do. I would love to move out as her attitude has been impacting my mental health negatively for years. But I know rental prices are crazy, especially if you have a pet (I have a dog). If anyone could point me in any sort of direction I’d appreciate it. We’re the city of good neighbors for reason right? 👉🏻👈🏻

National and State Historic Places Registry.

The local law for a historic district seems interesting. Could further lift the entire area.

Salon Rouge or Blush Makeup?

Hi! Looking at both of these for wedding hair and makeup. I’m not super familiar with the area and am hoping for some personal recommendations for or against these- which do you prefer?

This will be a fall, vineyard wedding.

Former cleaner for assisted living facilities in Buffalo here. These people are paying 1.2k+ and handing over their foodstamps to staff to live in some of the most neglectfully treated buildings I've ever seen. Massive bed bug infestations (roaches and rats too but that's expected in a lot of places anyways). They're not informing their own staff and service works, guests/family of the residents, n only continuing "preventative" treatments in already infested buildings that need a total top to bottom bombing. Additionally I've witnessed them distributing items and furniture from their facilities without informing recipients of their bed bugs. Many of these residents are too mentally ill to care for themselves or advocate for themselves. I've seen old women literally crying cause they're waking up bleeding from bites and the staff continues to lie and say it's handled while doing absolutely nothing.

I have a couple of questions before I go on a 4 day trip to Buffalo next month. I will be traveling to Buffalo via the I90 heading from Cleveland OH area, how much are tolls going to cost me?

The Airbnb I’m looking into is located on Ontario St. Near the intersection of Tonawanda St. Based off what I have seen on google maps, this neighborhood seems to be run down and “sketchy.” Is this a safe area to stay in or should I look for something else? (I am 25 f traveling with one other person also 25 f)

Any additional info would be appreciated as well! (Restaurants, traffic conditions, things to do etc)

Hello! I just moved to elmwood (I don’t want to give my exact location but whereabouts between 7-11 and Put a Plant on it) and I was curious of parking regulations and where would be best to keep my car overnight. I kept it infront of my building overnight and didn’t get a ticket- unsure if I got lucky or what but I moved it at 8 am once the metered parking took affect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
