    That's where my father lives where I grew up.  I mentioned Roz's Pizza in "Pizza Thread"... Almost right by there off of French.  We came in right after Snovember... 7' of snow. Thought I was going to have to park off of French and shoe in. They were clearing the street with a front loader just hours before we made it it.  Brother had half of my father's driveway done.  His vehicles still buried.  Worked out well, went home through Detroit and caught Bills-Jets game for free on Monday!

    Yes sir..Kelly Park,Southline Fire Dpt.,Towers. Did you hear about the Garden Village shooting that happened a few months ago?p.s.-I live off of Como Park Blvd (near Borden)......right on the LES line..usually as you go deeper south of Walden the snow totals get higher.Did you go to East or West?

    Cold here in Cheektowaga 4degrees with -5 wind chill but we had only about 2-3 inches since Saturday. The wind finally died down.  Am in the warm house today.

    My mom (91)  slipped and hit her side on the dining room table on Xmas night. Took her to the ER yesterday. No broken ribs, just bruises.  Am staying home to help her today.

    Sounds like your mom got lucky,glad you're keeping her inside.Looks like south of West Seneca is where the band started..like you said,just a few inches for us in crabapple town....we got lucky

    City you've never lived in, but felt at home there

    Buffalo Cleveland San Francisco Hampton Roads Virginia New Orleans Biloxi Mobile area

     

    I've also never been to British Columbia for Alaska but for some reason I think I'd feel at home there I don't know why maybe I'm full of s***

    Got to love the Crawfish buddy

    It's definitely the coolest City around I don't know what it is about San Francisco but for some reason when you see the Golden Gate Bridge it's almost like you get this weird Happy Feeling as if nothing could roll could go wrong

    Toronto is kind of like the San Francisco of the East Coast I definitely like to live in Toronto to West Virginia to for some odd reason

    My brides late uncle took a trip to Alaska and BC to visit his distant relatives..the pictures he came back with were amazing...and I guess the folks up there are very nice/laid back.I would love to take a summer trip to that area...spend some time salmon fishing for sure.

    Well I've lived in Buffalo and Cheektowaga all my life so it must be a well kept secret! But with all the pizza places you can never find them all ! Even if you try!

    I wouldn't call it a secret,it's just tucked away and not noticed by folks traveling on French.It's a local spot...much like t/k on Clinton in west seneca,Ronny's in Lancaster on Como and aurora or Macy's on genesee.Roz's has been around for at least 20 or so yrs...

    There's definitely a perfect medium.

     

    the only place that has jumbo wings that are routinely superb imo are Duffs if you consider them Jumbo and Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse , Rochester and Buffalo all Smoke jumbo wings and they are top Notch but really expensive 

    I'm willing to bet that people come to your place because of your rich sweet pizza sauce and the higher quality of your mozzarella cheese....not the wings.I can go to Otto's or almost any corner gin mill for wings...just a deep fry..franks and butter...but creating a solid pizza takes some skill and high standard ingredients.For example...do you think anybody in buffalo would rank you below a chain like little ceasars or domino's? No Way! You rank right up there with Bocce Club IMO..

    "Not Quite an Island" = French translation of: Presque.

    :P

     

    Back in the late 1980s & 1990s that beach erosion project was one of the first hydro surveys I worked on w/Corps of Engineers... Building those stone breakwaters. Talking hand soundings all along beaches, checking for voids on construction, launching boat in harbor and running around point, etc... They have been a huge success, won engineering awards... Saved Presque Isle and one of the truly gr8 natural harbors on The Lakes from certain destruction.  The way they are set up, they self-nourish the beaches with sand and protect from destructive storms.  Quite a success!  Some stone mounds you can actually walk out to now.  That project was a total 180° from how they use to deal with beach erosion, by putting in perpendicular groins, sheetpiling. I think the project was computer modeled... One of the early ones  In old days, we would have to rely on trucking in sand or hydraulically dredging it to the beaches from miles out in Lake.  

     

    FWIW...

    Same here... Our older sister is always sending beach pics at Christmas... From S.Fla.  Gee, very nice, but no thanx!

    Interesting read..thanks.The first thing on my brides mind when we get there is crooked river chili.. Not forgetting,I have a sister/bil in Fla as well.They are selling and moving back up here to Lancaster..they really miss family,old friends and the food.I guess sunshine and hot weather can only buy you a certain amount of happiness.

    On a serious note you may want to adjust your route

     

    There are restrictions on I79 and I90

     

    Millcreek and some of the smaller towns have prohibited any vehicle without snow tires or chains from driving until the city plows clear the streets.

    Millcreek?Small world...me and my bride go to presque isle every august.That island is so peaceful...also we go to cho choo's for a couple drinks in the evening.

    Not sure if this is on topic... :D. Never boring.  My sister near St. Albans, VT always sends out homemade, natural evergreen wreaths at holidays, been doing this for 20+ years.  Well, this year, she said she sent it out weeks ago... Had to convene with USDA, get special permission to ship outside "gypsy moth quarantine" of New England, New York.  Okay, she jumped thru the enviro hoops.  It never came by USPS.  So I finally had to text her Christmas Eve, even against my wife's tender sensibilities.  She tracked package... It said to call: "Customer Support."  Well she did... But it seems the effers at Post Office don't work Holidays like Christmas and Christmas Eve!

     

    You got some 'splaining to do Lucy (Howard, Fergy, and Gug), rain, sleet, or snow my arse!

     

    Well... Anyway, Christmas wreath drama.  I shoot off a few texts that "maybe the truck crashed."  She calls today and says that USPS said there was a truck fire on route from Nashua, NH and unfortunately, "wreath perished." So sad!  Not the only thing that perished in New England this December (the Bills).

     

    Okay... Is the USPS rigged like the NFL?  They are giving her 15 bucks back and $50 insurance.  NFL... <_< So Postal Service has that going for it!

     

    Did they lie and burn it after finding a gypsy moth?  Are they pissed we are sending Vermont Asian carp?

     

    Thanks for your service all you postal workers out there.  They did tell my sister that truck driver is okay!  The driver probably got 45 days "traumatic leave" off.  I know how this works, I am a Fed employee.  And the postal carrier that watched this scorch earth operation probably was triggered also and got 45 days off too.

     

    What a tangled web we weave when first we try to deceive!  Thanks for wrecking my Christmas, the spot light on house now is  shown on the empty brick face where my Vermont Holiday wreath should hang... In remembrance of the fallen winter greenery that met its untimely fate in the "Live Free or Die" state.  Why the heck was truck going towards Boston, down I-89 and not I-87 and west? Too cheap to get across Lake Champlain?  Don't USPS have Ice Road Truckers?

     

    Christmas conspiracy!

    I get mail from Lexington,Kentucky every week.It always arrived within three days,it's 5 days now.Also,if you send something out on a Sunday from Buffalo..that piece of mail/package spends a day in Rochester....the USPS has been cutting back for years..odds are it will only get worse.

    Yep

     

    pizza and wings are getting expensive.

     

    chicken wings are super expensive that's why they are pretty much a dollar a wing now everywhere 

    We've never had bad food from your place...but you are a bit pricey.

    Scanned through the thread and not sure if it was answered, but Casa di Pizza moved downtown. The space isn’t as nice, but the pizza still is. 

    Moved out to Snyder a year ago, and I have to say, We weren’t taken by Bocce. Maybe it was a bad day. 

    Frank’s Sunny Italy on Delaware does a nice pie. 

    Love the sweet sauce at Frank's,linguini w/red sauce is my favorite for a dish.

    May I suggest moving to SE FL?  

     

    Yesterday on Christmas day my SO and I did a beach walk and it was really quite crowded.  Sunshine, lovely weather, bikinis and hot flesh all over the place.

     

    On Christmas Eve our neighborhood had a block party of sorts, out in the street, with everyone drinking, kids playing, in summertime weather...very nice indeed.

     

    Yesterday a neighborhood kid was out riding around on her new bike she got for Xmas with a pack of hood kids playing around her...

     

    Life in a climate where it is cold, more or less, half the year, sucks.

     

     

    How are the summers in your hood?

    Stolen valor?!  What exactly is your proof, sir?

    I feel like a fool because I posted heart felt priors about my depression and addictions.I thought his comments about just working out which is a sign of stress,instead of asking va counselors,was flag number one.you just don't go on a message board and ask for help when you know not one person that you are asking advice from.in addition,when discharged you are given a **** load of paper work  on how to adapt to a civilian,grocery  store filled lifestyle.taxpayer dollars.
