  1. Update on the cleanup. The debris at the fairgrounds has been cleaned up. The gaming building is not damaged, but there was a lot of damage to the roof of the east grandstands at the track. Lots of trees down in the south part of Chestnut Ridge, The east side (with the casino building) was open on Friday, but the west side (where the Eternal Flame is) is still closed. Lots of trees down in Holland. There are lots of crews working on it. My brother works for the Erie County Highway Dept. and he worked 12 hours Thursday and Friday and will be working Saturday and Sunday. All the towns in the county are loaning chippers etc. to aid in the cleanup. The Feds said there has to be > 28 Mil in damage for FEMA $, but Cuomo has pledged state $. At least no major injuries, just a few cuts and scrapes.
  2. No.The 2007 tornado landed across Walden from Target (near where Chick-Fil_A might go. It then crossed the Thruway, went behind Cabella's and rose off the ground. It touched down again in front of Adam's Como Lounge (across from yje Old Como Mall and did some damage off of Losson Road. The start of the track was at least a third of a mike ir so away. The Holiday Showcase is still in business.
  3. It was confirmed as a tornado. Touched down at the fairgrounds the went across Hambirg and Orchard park, cutting through Chestnut Ridge Park then Colden and Holland. Some big trees were downed at The Ridge.North Buffalo Rd (277) is closed just south of the park Also the 400 is closed south of 20A. The skies cleared up after 5 PM and the sun is shining brightly,
  4. Lindsey Graham is about as useless and senile as McCain.
  5. Hence his nickname Chucky "Schmucky" Schumer.
  6. Problem is we never came out of it after 8 F'n years of Obama. Finally coming out now.
  7. If they have the halftime show, make sure you get that too. Boomer Esaison ws on it and the other people were talking about yje Oilers playing the Steelers the next week. He warned them about not counting out Reich and told them about Frank's greatest college comeback when he was in when Boomer was hurt. They laughed at him. After the game they said " We'll never doubt you again."
  8. I know where you can buy some in San Ramon, CA. I was driving to an open space park there once and spotted a ranch with zebras and emus running around.
  9. Yes, I was in the 11th grade. I'm 60. Do the math. Nixon resigned in 74. 11th grade is American History. That was current events and on the news every night. nothing else to watch at 6:30 PM (remember we only had 3 channels back then). The teacher had us watch the news and then related in what had happened to the constitution. Remember, the constitution is part of American history,
  10. Moby- Who's he?
  11. Stop spouting off about things that you know nothing about, From what you have said here you were either not born yet or a little kid when Watergate happened. I was in the 11th grade when it was happening and the history teacher had us watch the news every bight and then related what happened to the relevant parts of the constitution. Relying on your lefty textbooks and whatis on the internets is garbage. Woodward and Bernstein had several sources for each story un like the anonymous "unnamed sources" today. As Van Jones even said, it's abig nothing burger.
  12. Saw both the locks in 68 and the dewatered Fall in 69..
  13. Back in 1968, we were going to see DC, but that was the summer of the riots (MLK dying). So instead we went around NY State. We went to the 1000 Islands, Massena, Ausable Cjasm, Lake George, Hyde park (FDR's grave, etc) and West Point. My parents, me (11), my sister (9), and my brother (6 months).
  14. I've got a ladder. Bring me a bag of McD's and I'll let you climb up there.

  16. I'm 60- a couple of the girls I had crushes on in high school are now dead.
  17. Nor an OSHA case. She was not a worker,
  18. I lived in Dublin and moved to Tracy, CA in 201 2because my rent went up $300. Lived in Tracy for about 2 years and then moved back to QNY because of a stroke.Just got an email from my old 2012 landlord about paying my rent on-line (I guess my email wasn't removed back then), Out of curiosity, I checked their web site and the rent has jumped another $600 since then! That's $2450 for a 30 year-old 900 sq ft 2 bedroom!
  19. Saw on the Buffalo News web site that Chick-fil-a will be opening a location in Cheektowaga. It will be at the location of the Famous Dave's on Walden avenue that closed last month. It will be just off the Thruway, across from Target and basically kitty corner from the Galleria Mall at exit 52.
