I'm looking for a hair stylist comfortable with fine, high porosity, low density wavy hair. I haven't had a haircut in just about a year and I'm ready to go short with blunt bangs.

Preferably an inclusive salon (bonus points if owned by bipoc and/or queer folk) and ideally located on Hertel/in Elmwood Village/or Allentown.

Extra bonus points if there's anything open this or next Friday (which I know is a tall order with Valentine's Day coming up, I just happen to have those days off this month).

I'll be moving from Portland Maine where it's common to see small rock/emo/metal bands play. Right now, I see an apartment near Elmwood village that I'd like. Its close to a job I applied for. I'm an aspiring musician myself so I'd like to connect with other smaller musicians in Buffalo.

I’ve written strongly worded emails to my elected officials. But that’s not helping. Need to do more. Any peaceful protests coming up or grassroots efforts recommendations?

Southtowns Folks living in Congressional District 23 of NY:

Here is Congressman Nick Langworthy’s Jamestown office phone number! I left him a voicemail about how reprehensible I find Trump’s tariffs on our Canadian neighbors are!

You should call and give the office an earful too!

(716) 488-8111

I moved to North Buffalo from the southtowns last February. There wasn’t much snow in Feb/March/April of last year so I didn’t notice any issues with people not salting their sidewalks.

I’ve noticed that this winter, no one seems to bother salting their sidewalks in my neighborhood. I take my dog for a daily walk and I would say 90% of the sidewalks are a thick sheet of ice. I almost wipe out daily while walking, and I’m young and agile. I can’t imagine how shitty this must be for older folks and those who work for mail delivery services.

My question is - is this normal for the neighborhood? Why do people not salt their freaking side walks!!! (besides obvious reasons like having disabilities or being elderly)

I am looking to come visit Buffalo, get some information about the city, jobs, housing etc.

What area should I look into for hotels that are mid price range? I don’t need anything fancy but I also don’t want to stay in a run down hotel either.

Also what is the most affordable area for the housing market, blue collar worker salary range.

Thank you and Go Bills!

Okay, so many Mayoral candidates. Here is my ask: PLEASE PLOW THE SIDE STREETS. This is ridiculous. My street is literally an ice rink (we live in North Buffalo).

Who is the mayor who is going to get the snow plowing together? They have my vote 🗳️

graduating from UB this semester and would like to take some grad pics!

idk why i tried going back cause i’ve been having issues every time i go. the first time i started going there they sent me home cause i guess 3 hours wasn’t enough time for the new donor process. okay, that’s fine. i go back and the phlebotomist couldn’t stick me the first time so she gave up and sent me home.

next time i was finally able to donate but a different phlebotomist (i do not like her, i guess she’s a supervisor) who did not stick me came over and adjusted the machine without saying anything. i asked her to remove the needle after sitting for over an hour and a half and she refused. everyone who came in after me had already left and i was still sitting there. turns out put the machine on the slowest possible setting. the original person who stuck me sped it up and got me out.

after that i went once more and had another issue so i stopped going for almost a whole year until recently. ofc there’s been issues again.

today i went and after waiting for nearly an hour, the nurse told me i needed a protein sample cause they didn’t get it last time. annoying but i was gonna just deal with it. they couldn’t get it right this time either. so i lost out on a donation and didn’t get paid today.

before sitting down the nurse brought me to the health screening area, in front of the line. i stood exactly where she told me to. when i was standing there i heard in a nasty tone “you need to move over so you’re not in everyone’s way” so i turned around to see the supervisor. i tell her that’s where i was told to stand but i stepped to the side. apparently that was still a problem. she pointed to a literal human being standing at the front of the line and with an attitude said “that’s where the line is and where you need to stand. do you see the sign?” i’m not telling an entire line of people to move so i can be behind the sign, not next to it. i took one more step over and under my breath said “oh my fucking god” which maybe that was wrong of me but her attitude sucks. i’ve never seen her be nice to anybody. i’ve literally seen her snatch someone’s phone out of their hand and hang it up instead of using her words to tell them they can’t do that.

after i sat down to get my finger pricked she came up to me and said “you didn’t need to be so nasty” as if she didn’t approach me with an attitude and tell me to move out of her way.. i told her i was just standing exactly where i was told to go. she said something else about being the supervisor, blah blah but i ignored her and turned around. the employee told me everyone hates her lmao. idk if i’ll be going back ever again.

TLDR: every time i go there’s a problem and i can’t donate or they can’t stick me. the supervisor is rude af for no reason so i don’t think i’ll be going back.

Buffalo dining and entertainment continues to take a beating. How do we fix this?!?

I'm considering my next move and I'm highly considering Buffalo NY as my next, and perhaps my last move.

Where would be a good place inside or outside the city (suburbs) for one to settle and buy a house? Good to fantastic neighborhoods? Diverse community?

I'm middle aged and single. No kids. Although good schools usually indicate quality of life advantages. Nature and natural landscapes are my preferred environments. I'm not a big city type of guy. I currently live on the outskirts of a small city in the county and I prefer those vibes to the hustle and bustle of downtown metropolitan areas. But not to be too far away that it takes more than 15 min drive to go get groceries. I've been to Buffalo in the past for work and really enjoyed the neighborhood and community vibes there. Reminded me a lot of Pittsburgh. I like to be active in my community and volunteer at gardens/museums in my spare time.

Please feel free to drop any suggested areas or specific neighborhoods that I can start researching. Thanks in advance!

They are located at 2075 kenmore ave.

Does anyone know anything about these apartments? I know it was recently built/finished but there isn't much info online or their own website.

Inspection is currently up on my car. Looking for a safe place to park it near Seneca One just for tomorrow so I hopefully don’t get a ticket lol.

Thanks for any advice.

I'm considering some home renovations,, including bathrooms, kitchen, and potentially tearing down walls and re-imagining my floor plan.

Anyone have any recommendations for good, reputable companies?

I arrived around midnight tonight and was solicited by two separate "ride share" drivers on my way to my real one. All were just sitting in the rice share area hollering at everyone coming out saying they'd be cheaper and faster.

PSA- don't do it! Always use the Uber or Lyft apps for safety and tracking.

Basically I’m isolated and depressed and I’m wondering if there’s anywhere that shares similar interests?

I love watching/analyzing films, reading (favorite author is Jane Austen), playing games, trivia, always wanted to play dnd but never had a group, and just wanted to connect with people with similar interests etc. I just feel alone, especially in our current climate. If you know any groups that are open and accepting (I’m disabled and queer) I would really appreciate it.

I’ve been reading a lot of negative news lately on Amherst central schools and was wondering if it’s a good district?

We will be driving from Buffalo to Holiday Valley. Where is the best place to stop for pizza and wings?

Not interested in the game. Want to take my dad to dinner anyone still taking reservations? Or suggestions? Thanks.

so i'm looking to get a sigilism/neo tribal style back tattoo (sort of like the one Grimes has) but i'm having trouble finding an artist that does this type of work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

In April I'm traveling, and the flight out of Toronto is substantially less money. How would you recommend getting there?

Hey everyone! Curious if anyone has seen Affligem Blonde available for sale anywhere in the Buffalo area/surrounding areas? No luck with premier gourmet or beer keep.

Not usually a big beer person so not sure of the best places to maybe try.

Thanks!
