Elmwood by Banner: Red

Over the course of this series, our video camera will follow Elmwood Village Association’s Executive Director, Justin Azzarella, through a series of Elmwood Village locations. Each week we'll focus on one of the four different colored banner districts along Elmwood Avenue. The districts are designated by blue, green, yellow and red banners, from north to south, beginning at Forest Avenue.
In our fourth and final installment, we focus on the Red Banner District. If you have a great liking for sweet things then come with us into Sweet Tooth. Also, check out some other great shops, salons and restaurants that this district has to offer.
Join us in exploring this exciting commercial district, and get to know the various locations and proprietors at each of these stops. With over 200 independently-owned shops and restaurants to discover and enjoy, you'll be sure to find unique and extraordinary gifts, clothing and something to sate your appetite.

Last month we ran a post on buffalorising.com, Looking for City Dwellers (at Heart), and Kyle LoConti was one of many people who answered the call. As it turns out, her personal profile fits exactly the type of person real estate agents and developers have been telling us will move into Downtown Buffalo.
LoConti is a unique person whose most typical trait is that of a being an empty nester, single, professional who is looking for a place in the City of Buffalo to call her own. …

Coming at you from Labatt US headquarters, Buffalo Place has just announced the line-up for the 2008 Thursday at the Square (presented by M&T Bank). It was a no-brainer to visit the Labatt Blue base in order to listen to the announcement. There was one zinger that took a few people by surprise - on August 15th-16th Buffalo Place will 'Rock the Harbor' once again. On that Friday Great Big Sea will take the stage followed by The Robert Cray Band and Keb' Mo' on Saturday. This will b …
This morning, former BRO contributor Giovanni Centurione sent me an email asking if I would let readers know that there is a chance to nominate Buffalo as the Best Place to Relocate/Live for 2009. There is a website where people submit their choices for the category of "Relocate America's Top 100 Cities". For eleven years the top 100 cities have been listed according to the number of submissions as well as editorial input. Gio has requested that BRO readers visit the site and subm …

These videos have gotten worse and worse. Cassandra isn't doing any reporting. Justin Azarella does the talking. These videos were much more informative when the store owners or somebody in the store talked about what their store had to offer.

Dsquared --- agreed. I wonder if there was some time constraints or store owners did not want to be on camera for some reason. Anyhow a short video is better than none.

This was too short and didn't show us much at all. If your not from this area, you'd be like "What the f*&"??

Last time I was in Sweet Tooth is also my "last time in Sweet Tooth." It was dirty and the service was terrible. I actually ended up leaving because I wasn't being waited on. There was one person behind the counter helping the ONLY OTHER person in the shop - two other people "working" there kept themselves busy by leaning against a wall. It was much easier to get in my car and head to Watson's.

This video series could have beenawesome and the whole concept was a no brainer. How is itthat it's such a mess. I feel bad for Justin Azarella that he had to be part of it. Was it not organized or was it screwed up with bad editing? I can't tell which one. Who is the Casandra person and why does she act like she's doing any reporting? I'm confused by how this could end up such an embarassing mess. So much for using it as any kind of sales tool.
