Yes. Made sure to go after we went to training camp. They make all of their ice cream fresh on site. Lives up to the hype. We had lunch at Pittsford Pub next door and then walked over for dessert afterwards. A solid day and kickoff to the football season Although it would have been awesome to be there the day Tre and Benford were hanging out

First thing I thought of too. Those commercials were absolute classics

See one of my hometown's major teams win a championship

If Allen wins a Super Bowl he becomes a no brainer. I agree with the previous comments where to get recognized for a statue you should really have at least delivered one championship if not multiple. I love Jim Kelly and he is without a doubt a true wall of famer but if the Bills put a statue of him in front of the new stadium we would be a laughing stock across pro sports fans all over the country lol

Just curious what years are we talking here?

Honestly didn't even know it was still in existence

I wouldn't consider this place being a hobby of mine but a guilty pleasure 100%

There's a lot of caveats to this topic but if I am voting for one as a black and white answer to this question I am definitely voting for not making a Super Bowl appearance with Josh Allen as I still consider making the four straight Super Bowls an accomplishment in itself.

Josh is a unicorn but he's def got some elements of Favre,Elway and Big Ben in his game

After those first two weeks that season I thought we were going to the Super Bowl that year

That's interesting, wasn't aware of that. It's funny I feel like Lucille Ball is the most forgotten about WNY celebrity. Not celebrity itself but celebrity with WNY ties. I think it's probably because once she made it out to New York and Hollywood I don't think she came back too often. I posted about it on the boards but a couple years ago for my Mom's birthday(huge Lucy fan) we went out to Jamestown and hit the Lucille Ball museum and stopped by her childhood home. Was a fun experience

The post office has been on a steady decline since this man retired

A guy at my gym and my buddy's brother in law and kid have made cameo appearances so far that I'm aware of

One of the greatest Simpsons episodes

Bookie is pretty sweet, hope they keep making new seasons

How big of a deal is Chris Herren in Fall River? I know his NBA career really didn't pan out too well but the 30 for 30 about him was very interesting and I got the vibe he had that hometown hero kinda thing going for him there.

Damn that last one hit me in the feels. Sad stuff

My apologies Sir

Hilarious

Can't wait 🍿

Yeah terribly sorry to hear about your mother having to go through that but overall that was a pretty cool story to hear about the excellent response from those good samaritans. I know you already referenced this in your original post but reading that felt very "Western New York like" I remember when I was 16 and had my first used car, my parents lived in a cul de sac that went around in a circle. Middle of Winter and it's snowing outside, frigid weather and this stupid car stops running. So one of my neighbors comes out to take a look at it and help me with it and then next thing you know the scene attracts another guy and we put the car in neutral and start to push it back towards my parents house. Along the way more guys witness what happened and come over to join in and help us steer it back. I had always liked football and the Bills since I was a kid but I'll never forget that moment because it's when I was starting to come of age and it made me realize being a Bills fan was more than just liking a fooball team it was also about a great sense of community we have living in WNY. I really loved and miss that old neighborhood. My parents still live there but so many of the originals are gone now(having either moved down to Florida for retirement or some that have passed away etc). It was an awesome place to grow up. I vividly remember going to huge Bills watch parties in the neighborhood during the Super Bowl years, Summer Block parties, huge firework displays for the4th of July and just everybody knowing and looking out for each other. It's true when they say you don't know what you have until it's already gone

Unsung hero for sure. Major respect for that guy
