This town is buzzing. A lot of people equate Buffalo to snow. We do, however, get a lot of comments about our near-misses in sports- Super Bowl, Stanley Cup losses. But this city keeps plugging along. I think this time we "got it". The 2006/07 Sabres are on fire, now in their 2nd round of playoffs against the NY Rangers (at this pont we're 2-0). And ...

Dinner tonight at The Century Grill.
The food is fantastic. We have eaten there before, so I have sampled several of the dishes. This evening I had the grilled salmon, with sides of vegetables and rice. The fish was grilled to perfection; a spiced grilled surface, and pink and tender inside. The vegetables were an interesting mix- green and waxed beans with carrots, red peppers and onions.

As I write this, the story on the news is the development plan for the Buffalo waterfront.
The terminus of the Erie Canal was uncovered, and after some "persuasion" by preservationists, it was restored. There have been plans in the works for YEARS, and finally it looks like we're ready. The Bass Pro sporting goods ...

Buffalo is a very exciting place to be if you're a hockey fan. The Sabres are #1 in the NHL, and beat the team on our heels, the NJ Devils, this evening. Thre are 5 regular season games left, and then the playoffs.
Many think that hockey is a Canadian sport, and Buffalo, right on the border, fits right in. ESPN had a poll to find the best sports franchise ...

Springtime in Buffalo. There is nothing greater. We have the full effect of all four seasons (of course, winter is the one thats widely reported on...), but my vote is for spring.

My name is Val, and I will be taking you on a virtual trip, in the blog world, to the city I love and believe in. I purchased a home here around 7 years ago. Family and friends live ...
