The Wine Thief Is Coming
“Eight years ago when I was living in Virginia, I had the idea of opening a wine bar. My first ideas of what I would like to see in a true wine bar are details such as wine lockers, a lounge area, and temperature controlled wines by the glass. Well, seven years later and a move back to Buffalo and here I am.
It all came together one night when I was talking with a friend of mine Dave Simpson (Super Dave). We were looking for a cool place to get a nice glass of wine without the restaurant atmosphere; a place where we could have a conversation, a distinct glass of wine, and light food that doesn’t take away from the wine of choice. We thought hard but could not think of a place that would fit this description. We had a few more cocktails, thought about the situation for a while and decided we could open up a place of our own. Over the next few weeks we turned our ideas and my vision of a true wine bar into reality and that is how The Wine Thief started. We hope you enjoy it!” - Dave Cooper & Dave Simpson
The Wine Thief Bistro and Wine Bar will be opening at the former Solid Grounds, located at the corner of Elmwood and Bryant.

Silent/Sound Outdoor Film Festival
Columbus Park could be one of the most underutilized parks in Buffalo. It also has a ton of untapped potential. There are bike trails and walkways leading through the heart of it as well as a ton of old growth trees. I’m sure that the park is used by the neighbors, but unlike parks like Johnson, Days, etc., I rarely see activities and events taking place there. As a matter of fact, I don’t recall ever seeing an event or gathering at Columbus Park.

Foreclosure Prevention Assistance
According to Joy McDuffie, Foreclosure Prevention Specialist at the WNY Law Center, don’t believe everything you hear about foreclosures in Buffalo – they’re still a real problem. McDuffie says many think that Buffalo didn’t get hit hard by the sub prime lending market collapse, but that it just isn’t true.
“We’re really trying to help because Buffalo definitely has a foreclosure problem, but there are things that homeowners can do. We actually have a $700,000 two-y … - Yesterday, 1:10pm

Stopped in a couple weeks ago, Coop was covered in dust, He showed me around, he is sparing no expense. The floors are amazing, the cooler is cool and the furniture he ordered is top notch, this place is going to be first class.

great concept and addition to area. As a suggestion, the brick on the front of this building should be spray washed and cleaned. Light brick color shows too much dirt and looks extremely weathered.
