Just a reminder that Thursday kicks off the Niagara and Buffalo Homecoming Events. Citybration Listings of Events Two columns from the Homecoming issue of the Reporter: http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/cover6.23.09.html and http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/column415.html Hope to see many of you in both cities this weekend. Come on up for the rising!

Harrison was very fond of the Ukulele. At parties he would break out a slew of them and people like Clapton. McCartney and David Gilmore would sit around a do number after number. What I wouldn't give to be invited to a party like that.

I lived in Syracure then Albany for many years before moving back. I'm fortunate to work in tourism in Niagara Falls and make a great living. Your question is a perfect lead-in to the upcoming Buffalo and Niagara Homecoming Events.Homecoming They are designed to celebrate all that the two cities have to offer and help former residents find jobs/homes if they are considering moving back. All sorts of free or low-cost events. Hopefully, all locals will come out and celebrate WNY and some of you ex-patriates will come home for the festivities.

Heard the replay on Stern this morning. Artie killed. His best line came on the aftershow: Artie showed some trick on how to light a cigarette without getting smoke all over Buck: It looks like you lit that with your fourth chin Lange: Yeah, four. As in the number show you'll never see.

My wife runs a Niagara Falls Tourism web site. Here's the link: Niagara Falls Information She has a contract with Hotels.com for all local hotels in Buffalo or Niagara Falls. Also, if anyone is coming home and wants to take a tour of the Falls, PM me and I'll get you a 15% discount on any of the tours on her site.

Great montage, Senator. Thanks, indeed!

Glad I could help bring back some good memories. My thoughts go out to your Gram.

Hard to believe it's been 20 years. I just wrote a column about some of the history. Crystal Beach Memories I'd love to hear some of your favorite memories of a park like no other.

Here's a link suggesting that the sex in "Don't Look Now" was indeed real: Linky

I read the piece and my feeling is that they've lost a serious chunk of marketing dollars that T.O. generates.

Don't forget one of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Niagara Falls' own Sal Maglie

Add me to the list of 70s kids who had Randy Smith as their favorite NBA player. R.I.P.

I'm pretty sure that Sutherland and Christie were a real life couple and the reason that scene is so good is that they really went at it and just told the cameramen to film it with a bit of discretion. I'd look up a link for you, but I'm in a bit of a rush.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper Fleetwood Mac - Tusk Pink Floyd - The Wall Led Zepplin - Zepplin IV (Just couldn't believe that the thread was this long and no one else had been a smart ass ) Seriously though, how about: Bob Dylan - Infidels and Lyle Lovett and his Large Band

The 4th of July weekend is a no-go for any event. All the hotels are completely booked and charging outrageous prices and all of the attractions are so full of tourists that they won't do anything for returning natives.

The finale of my press conference last week.

This June 25th to 28th both Niagara Falls and Buffalo will be conducting Homecoming Festivals. I've been part of a group working tirelessly on the Niagara Falls event for the past year, The 4 days are packed with a slew of FREE and low cost events. Check out Citybration Web Site for details on both city's events and to pre-register. Invite your friends and family to come back home to WNY for two citywide reunions.

Thanks. The old brain cells are getting foggy. I knew it was "Baby," but had the wrong guy.

I'm pretty sure it was LDE Ben "Baby" Williams.

I don't care what sort of a debt *Vick has supposedly paid to society, a man who would willfully fight, torture and murder dogs is a lifetime zero as a human being in my book. It's something that cannot be explained away by calling it a youthful indiscretion. It wasn't a drunken mistake or a one-time error - it was calculated torture and murder by a millionaire moron. I have a simple litmus test to judge a man's character: I see how he responds to a dog. I've found, without fail, that people who recoil from a friendly dog cannot be trusted - period. I've bled Bills' blue for my entire life, but I would not support this team if they signed *Vick (I think he deserves an *).

If the Bills so much as brought Vick in for an interview I'd beat Russ Brandon half to death with my dog's water bowl. Say "No" to the dog killer!

Sandy Beach is on the air doing a weather report that called for up to 14 inches of snow. Beach: "14 inches. 14 flipping inches." Wander (Getting on mike) You rang?

Same age as me - scary, indeed. R.I.P.

I've been looking for a reason - any reason - to watch SU football again. I hope he can regain his highschool prowess. Go Cuse!!!!
