I'ts one of Buffalo's best kept secrets. Located at 453 Porter Avenue (near the Peace Bridge) in the former Plymouth Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, the Karpeles preserves and displays some of the world's most important original documents. Each year four exhibits are hosted, ranging from Mars to mozart. The museum also serves as a library for scholars and others interested in studying original documents. Karpeles is free and open to the public daily. - Jane Morris, Buffalo Rising Magazine

BR- Don't forget to lunch at Morning Glory Cafe right down the road. It's a great place.

From what I understand, a couple of fights broke out last Thursday and a shop window got broken. I can understand that there should be a concern when these incidents happen, but shooing everyone away because a coup …

    Story Image With gas prices on the rise, it's no surprise that Mayor Byron W. Brown announced a 41 percent reduction of take-home vehicles used by City of Buffalo employees. This reduction means there will be 50 take-home vehicles available, instead of the previous 85. "41 percent is a number we are pleased with, and we will continue to review other ways to save money," Mayor Byron Brown explained. With a decrease in take-home vehicles the money spent on gasoline for these vehicles is also …
