The goal of the promotion group is to provide first class event and planning services to individuals, business and not-for-profit organizations while helping to promote and advance other female entrepreneurs and the Western New York community.

The Erie County Legislature has approved an amended 2009 Erie County budget in a "surgical approach" by accepting the amendments approved last week by the Finance, Management and Budget Committee, but - much to County Executive Chris Collins' dismay - eliminating his previously proposed tax rate increase.
By holding the line on property taxes, Collins' $1.2 billion proposal was cut by about $9.5 million, while providing for essential services such as public safety, health, huma …
Ever since ArtVoice broke the news about the suspicious ousting of West Side housing activist Harvey Garrett from the board of West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, everyone has been wondering: What will happen next? Will this stick? Will there be some kind of investigation? When will the other shoe drop?
One dropped yesterday. In a letter to board Chairman Ramon Morales, Assemblyman Sam Hoyt announced his intention to pull his legislative initiative funding from West Side …
Four games in 6 nights certainly marks a rough patch in a schedule, and the Buffalo Sabres showed what kind of toll it can take by losing to the Nashville Predators 2-0 on home ice.

There were few exciting scoring chances on either side of the ice and the game's pace was both stilted and broken. It was likely due to the coache …
From Hoss: "Is Kabob and Curry opening at the old Mondo location on Elmwood, or Main? I haven't been to their primary eatery on Transit, but I hear they serve the best Indian food around."
Kabab and Curry will open in about two weeks at the former Mondo Video location... approximately mid-December.

Closing this week on my little piece of South Buffalo and this sounds like fun! Perfect timing! Nice to know there's a cafe right around the corner. I'm new to South Buffalo and unfamiliar with what's around other than the Basilica and the Botanical Gardens, etc., so this is a great opportunity to see what the area has to offer! Grew up north of the city and hope South Buffalo is every bit the nice place I've always felt it to be. I'm looking forward to the move and learning more about the area.

If you're in the vicinity of the Botantical Gardens, check out Curly's restaurant on Ridge Rd. It has a long history in the neighborhood, but a modern menu.
