Buffalo River Boat Tip
Of course all of the proper permitting measures were acquired so as to adhere to safety measures. And now there is a functioning walkway that leads to a small public access dock located right next to the Michigan Street bridge. I am told that in a matter of just a few days the dock will be three times the size that it is today. I also heard that this past Monday a thirty-foot boat pulled up and the entire crew walked into The Swannie praising the grassroots effort. These days each and every waterfront public access effort should be rewarded. Some day this stretch of dock will link to a boardwalk that will eventually lead all the way to Festival Park… just as it did many years ago.

Party For The Parks - The Way A Park Should Be Seen
Last evening was the first time that I have ever attended the event, Party for the Parks held at the Marcy Casino. The parks gala started up just as the Burchfield-Penney showing was winding down, and has happened more than a few times this summer, the non-stop rain kept everyone guessing. By guessing, I mean that every time the band members would even look at their instruments the rain would start to fall. It was a good thing that the upper terrace was covered and the Marcy Casin … - Today, 11:15am

It's Time To Break Out The Red, White, And Blue For Puerto Rico
According to Miguel Santos, one of the founders of the Puerto Rican Day Parade of WNY, starting the parade six years ago was a way of “recognizing that Buffalo’s Latino population continues to grow and we decided that it would be a great way to recognize this segment of the population.” Inspired by the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC, Santos, who is a local activist in the Latino community, got a call from Jose Rodriguez, and the rest is history.
Santos says, “We … - Today, 10:15am

Burchfield-Penney Art Center Comes Alive
For the first time in over a hundred years, Buffalo has unveiled a brand new ($33,000,000, 84,000 sq.’) museum. Yesterday, hundreds of people met at the Burchfield-Penney Art Center to witness, not one, but three, ribbon cuttings. Fans and supporters were greeted by trumpeting didgeridoos as they walked into the vaulting entranceway – a walk that led them past the museum cafĂ©, the gift shop, the learning center, a conference center, studios, gallery spaces, and more gallery s … - Today, 9:20am

That's awesome. A few weeks ago we put the kayaks in at Ohio Street and had to climb over and around log debris. This will certainly make a nice option. Plus, just a few steps away the Swannie House is a good stop for a post paddle brew.

It is great to see our waterways being used again as they were from the time of the native americans thru the mid 1900's. We must reclaim these traditional recreational places that were available to all in the past. Scajaquada creek needs to be opened from the river to Delaware Park to allow canoes and kayaks.
