  1. UB Bars & Food Service https://www.buffalo.edu/atbuffalo/article-page-summer-2017.host.html/content/shared/www/atbuffalo/articles/Summer-2017/features/smorgasbord-of-food-memories.detail.html
  2. Dave Anacone was a well known touring and studio drummer. The following excerpt is from http://home.digitalcity.com/buffalo/...nn/v-107566977 "Free Beer Tomorrow" reads a well polished brass sign behind the bar. That may keep the Homer Simpsons of this town coming back, but others are drawn by more realistic charms. Anacone's (rhymes with "condones") has been in the same spot on the Bailey strip since 1967, when Dave Anacone's bar thrived on clientele from Harrison Radiator and other neighborhood companies. Relic of that era, a yellowed placard offering the workingman's special: a draft of Genny and a shot of Grande Canadian. The nearest big employer now is the University at Buffalo's South Campus, whose med school and architecture students, not to mention undergrads who shirk the Greekish University Heights scene, call this their hangout of choice. After growing up in the apartment above the bar, Mark Anacone took over the business from his father, whose beside burned face looks out from behind the bar and a drum kit in a couple of prominently displayed photos. Look closely and you'll find a crayon drawing of him, too, which years of tobacco smoke have made look like a Clifford Still painting from the Albright Knox. Every once in a while Dave Anacone and the Bebop All Stars get booked to play a smoking set of traditional jazz in the back room. Occasionally, so does another band (The Red Gills are frequently that band, but there are others); otherwise, you can appreciate an abundance of tables, cheap pool, and a well stocked but not-too-loud jukebox. Open every day from 11-4, Anacone's serves beef on weck and some other sandwich favorites. Drinks are reasonably priced, making this a great option for a drink with friends, today or, for free beer, tomorrow. --Stephen Gingerich We spent many a night there playing pool on the short wall. Met my wife there. SPIN THE WHEEL!
  3. There were many unresolved arguments about a 5th face on Rushmore. There was a strong suffragette movement to add Susan B. Anthony. In March, 1941, as a final dedication was being planned, Gutzon Borglum died. This fact, along with the impending American involvement in World War II, led to the end of the work on the mountain. The sculpture at Mount Rushmore is built on land that was illegally taken from the Sioux Nation in the 1870s. The Sioux continue to demand return of the land, and in 1980 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians that the Black Hills were stolen and awarded $102 million in compensation. The Sioux have refused the money and demanded return of the land. This conflict continues into the present day
  4. “Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. Mace Windu
  5. I still have some tapes - people would be hanging on to record on their cassettes 🙃

  10. One of the few games I ever left early - we were wet everywhere
  11. Too many jobs to remember - but the first High school book store - selling pencils etc. After school - 12 Corners Plaza in Brighton - washing all the windows - end to end - and then again - a never ending job but a lot of perks! 85 cents/hour

  15. "On my first day of mini-camp, Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy came up to me and knew my name and all my stats. He was the head coach and he knew everything about me." (Levy had coached in the Canadian Football League for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.) Tindale had gained television exposure in Buffalo through CHCH-TV's broadcast of Ontario university football, which had made him a "cult hero" of sorts in the station's broadcast area. Tindale scored his first career rushing touchdown on December 30, 1995, in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. His Western University coach, Larry Haylor, said he remembers watching Tindale's first NFL touchdown while on vacation. "We were huddled around a 7-inch TV screen. Tim broke a run for 44 yards and my wife and I were jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. People came storming into our room to see what was wrong." Haylor also said "I always said Tim would be the guy I would pick first if I had to choose a team. At 5'11", 220 [pounds], he had very unusual talents. He's one of those guys who will give you his soul in effort."
  16. If this works out - will the NFL take notice? https://mashable.com/article/fifa-world-cup-ai-offside-tech?utm_source=GetTheElevatordotcom
  17. The UB Bookstore junked all their NCR behemoths in 1978. Those things weighed at least 200 pounds and were indestructible. For Agnes - I was in high school in Rochester and it rained for like three straight days. Every hand patrolled the streets to keep the sewers cleared

  20. $15 for 10 is pretty much standard here. I see a lot of menus heavily promoting "boneless" wings. (Buffalo) I just bought a dozen (precooked) at BJ's for 10.99 + a $3 dollar coupon off. I don't need wings at $15 that bad. 1970's - Fridays at Broadway Joe's - 10 cents wings and drafts
