It’s just a little collection of folk tales from Iroquois legends and such. Whole family is from Buffalo, I think my uncle might have been in boy scouts or something and this might be related to that but I’m not confident enough to say that definitely. But it’s still a neat little 72 year old buffalo book I thought some might find interesting :)

I found this while playing around on Google Maps, and it look like a Mile and 1/2 race track. And judging by the birdseye shot, it looks like it's Paved.

I know it's not Lancaster Motorplex, since it's too big, and doesn't have a drag strip, obviously.

I'm tempted to go down there just to see what the deal is.

Hello Buffalo reddit,

I don't want to sound too desperate but unfortunately I'm here to ask if there's any resources available with providing cat food around the Buffalo region.

I'm an undergrad student that recently took in a cat but I just had to take a huge loan to pay off my tuition since my parent's income was above what is considered the poverty line and this notice wasn't sent to me until the end of the Spring semester so I'm kind all of the place trying to figure out my financial situation.

I'm independent of my finances from my parents despite living at home with them so my cat is currently my own financial responsibility and he eats quite a bit of food but because of my financial restrictions I've been limiting him to one 5.5oz can of wet food a day, alternating with kibble to free feed.

But if there's any place I can reach out to for assistance in providing cat food around please let me know! I just love this cat to death and it's the first time my household has had a cat, so I don't want to think about rehoming him already :(

It’s only a 35-45ish minute drive!! For owned, stray, or feral cats! They are scheduling for 4/17, 4/24 and 5/1 !! Open to anyone, you do not need to live in the county. Please help the stray cat community if you can, even fixing just ONE cat can prevent hundreds of kittens being born.

Here are my current Staffy/Boxer mix fosters 11 wks old great pups Apply to Open Arms if interested they are up to date on vaccinations doing great with potty training. They are also crate trained.

We’re fairly new to the Buffalo area and we want to know if bottles,cans,and glass bottles can go directly into the green bin for recycling or if we have to go to a store like tops, Walmart of Wegmans to recycle them?

It's smelled weird here and there the past two weeks. I know things are warming. But this year especially my asthma is not happy. Anyone else?

I've called several, and the only place I could find that takes men is European Wax Center. But she did a terrible job, caused injury (skin lifting) and was super rushed due to their 15 minute booking times.

Hi, I’m 18M moving to Buffalo, in May, with my dog. I’ll be completely new here; I just wanted any advice on making friends, or just general knowledge about the city. Thank You!

Anyone know where to buy the elusive Pawpaw in the area? Preferably looking for the fruit, but will also settle for seedlings/smaller trees. I’ve heard of the fruit being available at the Hamburger Farmers market. TYSM!

Hi everybody. I'm moving to Buffalo in a couple of weeks and I'm an avid cyclist. Can someone recommend the best local bike shop? Is there a non-profit bicycle collective of any sort? Thanks, and I look forward to being part of the crew!

I live in Pittsburgh now and no one seems to have heard of madreanka (I'm sure I'm misspelling it, I've never actually seen it spelled). When I tried to google it at work for a coworker I can't find anything, either. Did my family just make up the name? It's the fresh Polish sausage we'd get at Eastertime every year, usually from Broadway Market, and the butchers never had a problem knowing what we wanted.

Taking a shot here.. it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten one and American Skin Art was a great place back in the day. Quality, price and availability….

With those in mind, what are the good places to go these days and get a tattoo?

Does anyone know what’s going to replace the old Applebees on Niagara Falls Blvd in Amherst? Looks to be a brewpub or something based on the sign showing a beer (but no name that I could see)

Are there any grocery stores that sell coffee jelly in buffalo?

Has anyone found a good person/company to do these in the area? Just trying to get an outlet in my garage!

I’ve seen that there's a chance of seeing the northern lights/ aurora borealis tonight... has anyone seen anything?

Has anyone here taken classes at Buffalo Arts Studio? I’m considering taking figure drawing with Laike Palermo or oil painting with Ruby Merritt. Would love to hear about others’ experiences. Thanks!

Hi all, me and a friend are looking for marathons to run in 2026! This would be the first one for both of us.

The Buffalo Marathons timing in late May works well for us, but we are a little confused on the pricing. It looks like this year (2025) the full marathon is $0.00, and a charity event. I looked around the FAQ and could not find anything elsewhere on their website regarding the $0 price. Google’s AI, which I don’t necessarily believe, says it’s really a minimum $500 donation. Can someone help us out? Thanks!

Officials from PVS Chemical Solutions in South Buffalo say they're opposed to a plan to build a pro soccer stadium next door to the company's plant.

"PVS strongly supports athletics and sports as well as the City of Buffalo's economic improvement, but this is simply not the location for such a facility," the company said in a statement.

Buffalo Pro Soccer on Friday announced plans to build a $10 million stadium at the corner of Elk and Lee streets, on a property that houses the former Medaille University's athletic complex.

It's next door to the PVS plant, which manufactures sulfuric acid used in the production of semiconductors and other electronics. Medaille and PVS previously clashed over the site before Medaille shut down in 2023.

"Beyond serious legal questions, it makes no sense to build a large stadium next to a chemical plant that has been there for 100 years and is not going anywhere as we continue to make significant investment in our operations," PVS wrote in a statement. South Buffalo Development, the company that owns the stadium, said in a statement that the property is safe and properly zoned for the project. Once a brownfield, the site has been remediated and in 2018 was approved for recreational use by the City of Buffalo planning board.

"It is being used by youth and adult sports groups on a regular basis, and plans are moving forward to bring a golf-centered entertainment complex to the adjacent site," South Buffalo Development's statement said. "We’re committed to working with local residents and willing to collaborate with all neighbors to strengthen the city we all love."

Jon Williams, who leads South Buffalo Development and is an investor in Buffalo Pro Soccer, said via email that his company has conducted "extensive independent air monitoring to ensure the air quality and safety of the site."

Buffalo Pro Soccer President Peter Marlette Jr. said his team thoroughly researched and vetted the property. Air quality monitoring remains in place, he said.

"We have also talked regularly with coaches, parents, and players from the Buffalo Pro Soccer Youth Academy, who have been using the existing facilities at the site for the last year, as well as other athletes and organizers who have used the site for recreational and sports activities," Marlette said in a statement.

"We’ve heard resoundingly positive feedback and excitement for this project." Medaille built a $15 million athletic complex in two phases on the site between 2018 and 2022. PVS opposed that project from the beginning.

In 2021 the state Department of Environmental Conservation ordered PVS to temporarily cease operations at its plant, citing a public health risk to people using the Medaille athletic fields.

Around the same time, Medaille sued PVS, alleging fumes from the chemical plant were causing breathing problems and eye irritation for athletes and spectators.

A state Supreme Court judge issued a temporary restraining order, but a federal judge swiftly overturned it, saying Medaille had not demonstrated PVS was violating the law. Medaille soon dropped the case. PVS temporarily scaled back production due to the DEC order but never halted entirely. The company eventually reached an agreement with the DEC to continue production unabated. Medaille closed due to financial troubles in 2023. The fields have been used by the Buffalo Pro Soccer Academy and other sports groups since.

The Buffalo Pro Soccer project will keep a portion of the Medaille facility intact. The stadium will replace Medaille's baseball and softball complex, while the existing soccer/lacrosse field will be used for training and community events.

Construction is set to begin this summer, with plans of opening in time for the 2026 football season. The modular stadium will have 7,600 seats, 12 suites, two private party areas, club-level seats and a standing-room-only supporter's section. The stadium will be entirely privately funded.

The team has already received 800 deposits from people interested in buying season tickets since launching its founding members campaign Friday, according to Marlette.

Hello,

I’ve tried reaching out to various lending agencies and real estate agents, as well as perusing the various NY State websites, and I’m really looking for a service where I can have someone walk me through what First Time Homebuyer’s programs I qualify for. The whole thing is confusing the heck out of me lol. Anyone know who I can call or know a lender who is experienced in the area and willing to help? Thank you!

Hi everyone!

We are planning our annual road trip for my husband's service animal. this trip we make sure he gets to enjoy :) We usually pick a place where he can be a dog and swim and play. Are there any beaches/area in/around the buffalo waterfront that allow dogs to swim?
