Food Wars – Duffs vs. Anchor Bar on Friday, March 5th, 2010

Image via Wikipedia

There are always two or more restaurants competing for the best “whatever” in town.
Buffalo is no different as chicken wings are everywhere of course. But a forty-year old battle between Anchor Bar and Duff’s – each claiming to have the best chicken wings in town (debatable), will gain some national attention and will be the featured focus [...]

Ample Parking Day or Night on Friday, March 5th, 2010

If City Hall’s plan for enticing developers to rehabilitate the Statler by building an 11-floor parking garage then public policy has not evolved here since the 1950’s. Well, we all know it hasn’t but I still find it hard to believe that anyone so involved in urban development like a mayor’s office of a mid-major [...]

The Display Shelf on Friday, March 5th, 2010

It’s been quite a while since we at BOV have participated in The Session (or anything at all, really, but shh), this this month’s topic seems well timed. The Ferm is hosting, with the topic being The Display Shelf: When to Drink the Good Stuff. Essentially, what do you do with the ’special’ bottles in [...]

Friday YouTube Nugget on Friday, March 5th, 2010

It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter and feels like years since it’s been here. However, I feel the ice is slowly melting, because here comes the sun.
Tempted as I am to post this red-hot hit this week, I must go with the incomparable Richie Havens and his version of “Here Comes The Sun.” Bring on [...]

How’m I Doin? on Friday, March 5th, 2010

The NY Times:
Since 1982, 2,958 elections have been held for individual Senate and Assembly seats, and only 39 times have incumbents lost, according to records kept by Mr. Horner’s group. In 2008, more than half of the 212 senators and Assembly members won with more than 80 percent of the vote; 57 ran unopposed. [...]

Madam Governor on Friday, March 5th, 2010

Spitzer madam Kirsten Davis recently threw her considerable assets into the ring and announced her official candidacy for Governor of NYS. Madam will be running on a “P Squared” platform, pot and prostitution. She sees legalization, regulation and taxation of both as a way to solve the State’s fiscal crisis.

How Not to Revive the Statler on Friday, March 5th, 2010

With all due respect, a parking ramp isn’t going to remediate asbestos and otherwise renovate the deteriorating, dead Statler into something usable in the 21st century.
Someone needs to invest maybe $100 million, and in order for that to happen there has to be a reasonable expectation that the project would successfully attract enough [...]
