What's that? Discovering Buffalo One Street at a Time is back!? A brief history of Rand Avenue, named after George Franklin Rand, a prominent banker. Rand Avenue may be a short street, but this story packs a punch - multiple beautiful houses, banks, philanthropy, landmarked buildings, and more!
I am hiring an Assistant Planner to join our Planning Department. A great position for someone passionate about downtown and revitalization in Buffalo, NY!

Had fun giving Mary Kunz Goldman and some other friends a tour of Downtown a few weeks ago: open.substack.com/pub/marykunz...
Come hear me speak on July 26th at Town of Amherst Preservation Day at the Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village! www.buffalorising.com/2025/07/pres...
Had a great time this evening meeting author Jonathan Eig and hearing him speak at the @buffalolibrary.bsky.social this evening! Can't wait to dive into this MLK biography, which won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize. Books sold from Zawadi Books, of course!
I have decided that I think I'm going to go to every @bisonsbuffalo.bsky.social game in June to celebrate my birthday and detox my soul. #goherd
There's a lot south of the concert site.
One of my favorite thing is when the bulbs still bloom on vacant properties and you can see evidence of a long forgotten garden someone once cared for...you can demolish buildings but the ground remembers, the city remembers. #hopespringseternal
I am dreading the entire month of May in a way that I have never dreaded anything before in my entire life. Pray for me, Saint Jude (patron saint of lost causes).
Hahah, love this!! I'm always talking about the Buffalo Gals to anyone and everyone who will listen! 😀
My google maps is typically set to walking since I exist as a pedestrian 90% of the time. And it always makes me laugh when I have to look up travel times for work and it's like "19 hours"
Clyde was hiding forks in a Milano cookie bag. The staff found his stash and confiscated them. So, he then asked a patient who is more mobile to steal him forks. Nursing home espionage.
Mom also found this random rocking horse in the attic that I have never seen before in my life. Dad said we played with it at the old house, as if that wasn't 38 years ago lol
Current status: in my 40s and yet jealous that my baby niece gets to play with my Noah's Ark toy set. Also, I am excited to have tea parties with her using MY tea set LOL
Spending the day with Franklin Roosevelt today. It's my third time here, but this time feels...different. The New Deal that was pledged to the American people, a goverment that takes care of the most vulnerable, it feels far away.
This very same week, I purchased tickets for a solo trip to Vegas to see Kelly Clarkson and my sister suddenly became foster mom to a newborn and an 18 month old baby. The dichotomy of life.
Yes, I am a fully grown, 40-something professional woman listening to the Hannah Montana movie soundtrack at work. #bestofbothworlds
She sounds remarkable!!!
I think you're confusing awful with amazing!!!
Today was the first day it didn't snow at least a trace in Buffalo since Jan 1st. #winterbuf
Snowy image of downtown buffalo . Gold dome bank building and electric tower lit in red white and blue.
Buffalo over everyone else. #gobills ##downtownbflo
I'm never one to glorify driving, but driving into this sunset on the Kensington Expressway immediately after learning that they have to do a full Environmental Impact Statement is absolute perfection!! Chef's kiss👩🍳
Yeah, I haven't heard anything either..... I feel like we're all thinking of him b/c of that time Miller called him a piece of shit.
He was arrested for a domestic incident in 2023.
Watching the Grammy's while on the phone with my 93 year old friend Clyde:
Me: "I hope Taylor announces her new album"
Clyde: "Do you think she'll win? I don't think she's that good - she's just got a smiley face and good lipstick"
🤣🤣🤣
For Valentine's Day, the Aquarium is letting people pay $10 to name a bug after your ex and watch it be fed to an amphibian or reptile. Genius.
Had a doctors appointment and both of my uber drivers were listening to the Somewhere Over the Rainbow by the Hawaiian guy....what is happening?
Caroline Kennedy stepped out of the shadows and onto social media to assail her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the eve of his Senate hearing.
I haven't really noticed a lot yet, but I'd just let them be until they reply or interact and if it feels spammy, then I'd block.
If I see another "Niagara Falls is completely frozen" post, I'm going to rip my eyeballs out. It cannot physically freeze...the flow of the water is too strong/fast, you just see some frozen mist on the rocks and stuff. The river is churning away, as usual. Stop with the clickbait.
