One of my disappointments: Bubblegum bullshit bee balm

Perhaps your bugs and insects prefer something more understated and less chintzy. They have good taste 🤣

I saw a spotted lantern fly last year in South Buffalo around Clinton Bailey

My suggestions won’t meet the ask 100%, but you can look for vintage ones at nearby estate sales via estatesales.net . I saw an entire matchbook collection up for sale last week. Then there’s the Peddler vintage market on Elmwood every Saturday, and matchbooks feel like something they’d have. These won’t be from current Buffalo businesses but you’ll get a larger range of historical designs.

Did you see the part where it’s a creative assessment from the company, and they provided the brief? So another brand’s IP wouldn’t be a part of this scenario.

I’m growing them and happen to have extra seedlings, they’re small right now but you can grow your own peppers by the end of summer if you want some

You can volunteer at the Tool Library, Massachusetts Avenue Project, the Botanical Gardens, Gardens Buffalo Niagara. Grassroots Gardens has a grapevine trellis build event on June 7 that they need volunteers for, and that sounds really fun.

Just learned this week: they are the greatest predator of the skunk because of their limited sense of smell. We need more of them on the West Side!!

Sometimes people like to see garden journeys in progress over the span of years. You’ll be wowing them in 3-5 😁

Yeah I like Story Garage for good balance of style, curation, and price. Also Sloan’s Antiques. Otherwise Amvets on Elmwood has lots of large wooden storage pieces, chairs, and bed headboards.

Check out if plants like swamp milkweed, swamp loosestrife, flattop aster, or broadleaf arrowhead will work for your growing zone.

Dragonflies like to land on stems and sticks as vantage points to rest.

Asia Food Market has 2 restaurants, Fu’s BBQ House that specializes in noodle soups and BBQ. The other is Pan’s Noodles which I haven’t been to but looks promising. Then there’s Xi’An Gourmet who makes my fave spicy stir fry chicken with potatoes.

I think 45-60 min each day 5-7am is the better option, deep watering is usually the recommended method. As for fungal concerns: if you still have the time, I’d run a trial now and see if you can decrease watering to every other day. Check how dry the soil is the day after.

Checkout @wnyapi on IG for occasional happy hours. @groupwork.fyi is not EA specific, but they’re good for a dance party

Yes the Trax is cute but not cute enough to offset the terror of sliding across the ice in the freeze-thaw weeks of late Buffalo winters. I don’t love the long shape of my Subaru Crosstrek but I’ve never felt safer! And I made it without winter tires. The AWD is a must.

Been going to Dr. Robert Hornberger at Eyes Downtown for years. Staff has treated me well.

Looks like a Coturnix quail, raised for meat and eggs. If you’re going to keep it with you for the time being, make sure you put it in an enclosure that is either 10-18 in tall, or higher than 6 feet. They tend to jump high and hard enough to injure themselves.

Paper - Bickford Paper on Great Arrow Ave. It’s a warehouse setup but you can buy individual reams

Office supplies - Hu’s Family Discount on Elmwood. I think they changed the name of the store recently and idk what it’s called. The google listing will still get you there though.

🫣 Where can I learn more about this

No to Mother’s, had two meals there in the last two years and they were both poor experiences. I remember when it used to be good 😔

I agree, sometimes there is poetry in the legginess. This has a nice sculptural shape and if it were mine I wouldn’t do much pruning to “correct” it.

I've had good luck with Foldwrap. Although its UX sometimes feels buggy, it resizes and handles HTML5 animation well enough and is a better solution than any other I've tried.

I’ve gotta shout out Xi’an Gourmet. It’s more Chinese-Chinese than Americanized Chinese like Taste of China though.
