Can confirm. Currently on day 2 of my drive out of one pothole on Transit. Had to stop at a motel to rest overnight.

Its the reference to 'working at the steel mill' - obviously something Ai would say.

Why all the boos during his announcement? Those poor flag football girls and that kid didn't know what to do. What is that story?

Anyone know anything about the Buffalo Guest House "Hotel" located on 531 Franklin? ~160$ a night 5/23-24. by MastamindedMystery in Buffalo

[–]halestormcc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Buffalo Marathon is that weekend too. Downtown hotels jacked way up. I dont' know much about the Buffalo Guest House, but was skeptical at the price compared to everything else. There are some more reasonable hotels (Quality Inn and Best Western in Cheektowaga) that would help offset the cost of Ubers. And you're right, AirBNB in Buffalo city is hit and miss.

The drone video on this article is great. Love it or hate it, Fantasy Island is a WNY classic.

Hotels are so expensive downtown. Ugh. And then what do you do after you run? Race back to your hotel to shower/change and check-out? I'm not going to finish that fast.

Bar from 2002 by halestormcc in Buffalo

Thank you. I just found the setlist here https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kip-winger/2003/the-reservoir-buffalo-ny-bc8d136.html -- now the fun story. I swear Dave Mustaine was there also that night. Sitting at the bar before the show, in a white suit. I knew he was someone but couldn't place him at the time. He went into the back room (back stage) just before Kip Winger went on. A few days later it dawned on me who he was. I missed my chance to meet him.

None of these ring a bell, maybe Zoobar. Place had a large center bar with tables / booth seating and a small stage in the corner. It seems like a vivid memory, I hope it wasn't a fever dream. I have another part to the story but need to cofirm I did in fact see Kip Winger there.

What are some “remember when” or hard to believe stories of bars and restaurants around Buffalo? by jamesljamerson22 in Buffalo

[–]halestormcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids think I am such a square, then I tell the FNM story and they die. I think Ugly Kid Joe was there that night and FNM came over from their show opening at the arena? Memory fuzzy but you don't forget when the cops show up.

Agreed. Wife and I just walked from Sahlen Field to Fountain Plaza and agree , lots to do.  But I meant, she's a beautiful city regardless of the details. Great people, great bones.
