Rock Harbor Village Bike Bash July 5th


Rock Harbor Village is attempting to become one of the more unique outdoor music and event venues in the city. Saturday will include both electronic and acoustic performances against a backdrop of old industrial Buffalo. Rock Harbor Village is the future site of a student village and a multi-faceted indoor/outdoor recreation facility. Money raised on Saturday will come from beer sales - the event is free and open to the public. Food sales (veggie burgers and pastries) on that day will go toward benefiting an undetermined non-profit. If you would like to know more about the Rock Harbor Village Bike Bash, send an email here. Otherwise, we should have additional details as the week rolls forward.
Remember, the venue is located at the parking lot adjacent to the bike trail and the Scajaquada Creek (57 Tonawanda - corner of Niagara Tonawanda). The times are from 2pm-8pm. Music and event schedule to be announced. James and his Ice Creamcycle will be there for a few hours to cool down the crowd. Plus Micropark Jay has just jumped onboard... he will be on hand to discuss developments with the future skate and bike park.

Maybe you read about this one last December, or maybe you took the time and looked over this one in April, and perhaps you considered attending this event back in June. Whatever your reasoning for putting it off, there’s no time like the present for Forgotten Buffalo, unless of course it’s the past.
Forgotten Buffalo Tours take participants on a journey into the history of the area, always striving to produce a unique and entertaining outing. Their success has allowed them to …
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 …
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 …
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 café, the gift shop, the learning center, a conference center, studios, gallery spaces, and more gallery s …

SOME people forget what the whole premise of this site is for...Gee Newell, help me out here. Could you put up your original opening article now and then? This site is suppose to be for the POSITIVE building up of Buffalo and it's believers. This is suppose to be a place where we can positively explore Buffalo's future possibilities and formulate dreams that we believe can come true! Dream people! The hell with the naysayers! I remind you again that the original builders of this great city found nothing here- NOTHING and look what they did!! You must ask yourself-Am I as brave as they were? Can I take what's left in front of me and be courageous enough to ignore those who dissuade me from fulfilling my dreams-this city's dream? If you love this city, have a dream for yourself and for us all-follow it and we all win!!! I never ever thought I would be brave enough to buy a big old house here. You, Buffalorising and it's promoters, gave me the courage to follow my dreams and this new homeowner is living it. Follow me people...Step up and do or sit down and shut up until you can. I'm just so tired of naysayers. It's like vinegar on an open wound especially when I'm in debt for the rest of my natural life to do my part as one citizen!
