Beyond Ghosts will be hosting a ghost hunt at The Central Terminal on Saturday, May 14. Seeing that there are fewer opportunities to get inside the terminal these days, it’s time to jump on these sorts of opportunities. This is the first public ghost hunt to be held at the historic train terminal. The event will take place from 8pm to 12pm. Ghost hunters will splinter into small groups in search of paranormal activity. Guests are invited to bring along their own ghost hunting equipment, which could range from a flashlight to spectrum cams, EVP recorders, TriField meter, laser grid, infrared cams……

The 2016 echo Art Fair is going to be quite the sensation this year, partially due to the caliber of artists, and partially due to the noteworthy new venue where it is being held – OSC Manufacturing (1001 E Delavan Avenue). OSC Manufacturing is a sprawling complex on the city’s East Side, that should offer up limitless room for exhibits, artists, installations, and ideas. For the most part, the facility is completely off the radar of most Buffalonians. At the same time, the complex has a storied past that makes the venue even that more interesting (more on that later). 33 independent…

Yesterday the Sabres made the one move that everyone seemed to know was coming. Jamie McGinn, the “throw-in” in the Ryan O’Reilly trade this past summer, was dealt to the Anaheim Ducks for a conditional 3rd round pick that will become a 2nd round pick if the Ducks make it to the Western Conference Finals. And if McGinn plays in over 50% of the minutes in the playoffs. I think that the chances of this happening are good and that overall it was a good deal for Tim Murray to make. I personally would have liked to hold on to…
