The Civic/Fan atmosphere was unreal. I was fortunate to live through it all. There was no NFL all intruive interference. Erie County shut down on Sunday. The end of XXV was tough but there were many failures. The second was tough too. I was fortunate to be at the Oiler game (yes, I have the ticket stub). As a sports city Buffalo was incredible (and the Sabres were not have bad either) If you have a tape of the game - the commercials were very low key - the era of "WO#W" had not happened yet

Way back when(19xx?) the Bills did a brick plaza for homage to fans. followers and groups like TSW. Anybody asking where that is going?

This "law" ? has been referenced before and Mr. Pegula previously had a public interview about the consequences https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2024/05/ticketreseller.pdf

Labatt to celebrate Bills final season at stadium with new beer Retailers and brands connected with the Buffalo Bills are looking to capitalize on the excitement and nostalgia swirling around the team’s final season in their stadium. Labatt is debuting the Labatt Blue Light Stadium Shandy − with three can designs − to celebrate the final season at the current Highmark Stadium and 52 years of memories. The limited-edition blueberry lemon shandy coming out this month is “as bittersweet as the closing of the stadium,” Labatt officials said. “This shandy was made to toast every epic tailgate, last-second win, and unforgettable Sunday shared in that stadium,” said Jason Folaron, brand manager for Labatt USA. “We wanted to create something that tastes like the moment − sweet for what’s ahead, a little bitter to leave it behind.” Labatt is a longtime partner of the Bills and will continue that sponsorship into the new stadium, set to open for the 2026 season. The company will be hosting in-stadium interactions, on-premises samplings, social giveaways and a Bills flyaway sweepstakes in support of the new offering.

It is hard for me to mourn Cheers with the passing of Norm. Only two sitcoms moved me back then. The other was Sports Night. Both shows had excellent characters and superior writing. My father who had little tolerance of mass market TV back at those time, always watched Cheers. He was from the 1940’s – 50’s generation and his 4 brothers frequented bars. I was able to spend some time in his failing years and liquid lunch was always there. He showed me how or treat restaurant staff, Anyway, back to Cheers. Dad said you could basically go into any neighborhood saloon and see all the characters. Only the names change. In my research – good call Dad! Norm – R.I.P. I Play Cliff

I have to call global warming out. When we moved to SOCAL it was after a bizarre winter 2001. Since we came back (2017) the winters are nothing like those of my youth. The towns are pretty good at services plowing, garbage, and mosr important police. The City of Buffalo or Niagara Falls - not so much. It's not even Memorial Day and my lilacs are in full bloom

I have had the chance to live and work all over WNY; Rochester North & South, Buffalo Southtowns: East Aurora, OP and Cheektowaga, SUNY (Both campuses) and Amherst. Whwn I had to get an Security/Bond clearence - it was a SOB to remeber all the freaking addresses! Anyway, Barb & I moved to San Diego for work and the offer you cannot refuse. After 15 years, we decided to move back to WNY (Retirement). Housing and utilities are so much cheaper. We looked at properties in Amherst (Over developed), Wheatfield (way spread out) and then found a property on Grand island and built a modular home, Taxes are what rhey are but rhe quality of living is OK! Grand Island is very rural but 20 minutes betweem Tonawanda/Amherst and Niagara Falls. If you want snow - south of Broadway. Any questions - reach out!

I only dealt in Marvel. Anything after 1972- 75 are fun but not valuable. Just like collectors cards - too many were printed. I still hold onto Star Wars #1 (1st edition) as there were many reprints. Ultimate favorite - Iron Man #200

2 years before - 47 since then

The paper and ultra violet coating became hard to duplicate if you were paying attention Last summer there were several people passing "Movie Money" at Hertel Avenue Bars. Packed bar - busy beyond belief - it happens - or collusion? https://propmoviemoney.com/pages/the-prop-money-guide

I have kept a few Bills classics - but all the rest were handed off. I remember Dave & Adams selling boxes of all types (including in Spanish) - $5 Great Kindling!

Back in the day (mid 70's) - at the UB student run dormitory stores - they outsold Triscuts but were second to Cheese Nips. It was a pretty good cracker to handle dipping and/or cheese, The Nabisco rep could never understand. I thought it was the Long Island effect

I have been using Caesar's since the beginning but their service outages and interruptions are getting troublesome. Who do you use and are you happy!

I seem to recall the previous attempt at heated seats did not end up so well In 1999 crews completed a seven-month stadium overhaul that included constructing 76 brand-new dugout suites and two new enclosed club sections each containing 500 seats. Fans in the dugout suites watch the action just 40 rows from the field. In addition, the Bills replaced 6,800 seats in the sideline club sections with revolutionary contoured heated seats, the first of their kind in North America. After a couple of seasons - the system faltered due to global warming (Ooops - I meant weather)
