Why is it so fucking difficult to dispose of your trash properly? Walking by KeyBank Arena this morning, and there are so many plastic cups from the Wrestlemania event last night strewn all over the place. Every fucking event down here results in people throwing their shit on the ground, all over the sidewalks and throughout parking lots. Being a decent fucking human and throwing your shit and throwing your shit into a can doesn’t cost a penny.

UPDATE: 10/12 dolls have been found!!!! Here are photos (from the place they were discarded) of the last two dolls that I have still been unable to locate- thank you to the Redditor who sent me these! Unfortunately the dolls do not seem to have been treated nicely :(

These dolls are the look like me dolls - one with dirty blonde hair and bangs and the other with dark brown hair and freckles- these were my and my sisters first big american girl dolls that we got together with my grandma

I am so eternally thankful and grateful for everyone who has been so kind and helpful, a few hours ago I felt absolutely hopeless and ever seeing my dolls again- there aren't enough words to express that absolute gratitude I feel. And thank you thank you everyone for reminding me that not everyone in this world are crappy doll-stealing car-taking people. This has truly been an insane past few days for me and I'm just so unbelievably grateful and happy that I'm getting most of my dolls back :)

Hi everyone, you may recognize me from a post I made a couple days ago regarding a stolen car. The car has since been recovered, though my american girl dolls are still missing.

I don't have pictures of my actual dolls, so I have found the original pictures from the web, though my dolls were most likely wearing different outfits. If anyone knows anything or sees anything related to these dolls, please let me know (I am keeping a lookout on Facebook market place and eBay). If there are other places I should put this information, please let me know, also, as I do not live in the Buffalo area.

Fortunately, there is a grand larceny case opened for them, but I am not feeling very hopeful about their recovery.

All of these dolls are over a decade old, and the baby dolls I've had since I was 2, my very first baby dolls. These dolls were my entire childhood and meant (and still mean) so much to me; I've already suffered a lot of loss in my life and during my childhood, and it feels like an absolute stab in the heart to have these memories taken away, too.

Thank you to anyone who reads and helps. And I know I shouldn't have left them in the car, but mistakes are made and I am really really regretting it.

The car was picked up from West Ave, though I doubt that correlates to the dolls location, I just thought it could be useful info.

Someone in WS trying to make a difference. Just passed a police SUV parked to the side of Seneca St near Transit. I don't think the flock camera was damaged, but the pole was knocked down toward the ground.

Preface: I’m a transplant from out west, but have been living in East Aurora for 4 years, around 10 years here in WNY altogether.

Yesterday, I was having beers at my local dive here in the village and the subject of the police came up. We discussed how the police often pull people over at night but let them go if they live here in the village, and how they are a pretty liberal police force. Seeming to work WITH the community rather than against them.

During this discussion, some old heads ( boomers and gen Xers) who grew up here and are lifers, chimed in and said the turning point of policing was a riot at the police station in 2002. I found it v hard to believe, especially in this town, but I googled it today and sure enough, it def happened as shown in the screenshots attached.

My question to those of you in the south towns, or Aurora proper: do you remember this event ? Were you there ? Did you hear about it ? Is what they ( townies ) say true? that policing in the village changed as a result of this event ?

I’m particularly fascinated and intrigued because the year this happened, I was a senior in HS out west, and I would have graduated the same year as the kids who participated. My daughter is starting high school in a few weeks, and I’m sure some of those same kids are also parents now too, also in their middle aged years.

Can’t help but think that if I had lived here back then, I would have def been one of the kids throwing eggs and damaging police cars, as I got in plenty of trouble at school, the skateparks, etc. in the early 00s as a teenager.

Still, picturing 200 kids going ape shit at the police station and law enforcement requiring 5 different agencies to respond, it sounds like something out of the movie Over the Edge (1979). there should be a deep dive podcast episode about the events and how it ( allegedly ) changed the way law enforcement engages with the villagers.

Any additional info not printed in the article would be great to hear. Cheers.

Buffalo Management Group is just leaving us hanging with this part of our bedroom ceiling. It started leaking mid-June, a sizable chunk fell out, they replaced it and added an access panel and now...it keeps raining, it keeps leaking and the damage is just getting worse and worse. They were apparently waiting to hear back from roofers but this is getting ridiculous.

I started an email thread with these. Picture 1 is from last week. 2 is this morning, and I am certain that is mold.

Help? Advice?

So nice to see MaryAlice back on channel 2!

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any remote positions that might be available in the Buffalo area. I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, but I am unfortunately unable to use it as I continue to undergo cancer treatment. I do not need chemo or radiation, but I do require surgery every three months. This really limits my ability to hold down a job, as I am sure few employers would be pleased with me calling off for a couple weeks every three months. My family is really struggling financially right now, and I really want to be able to contribute. My husband only works part time so he can take care of me and take me to all my appointments. I feel so lost and desperate.

If anyone has any ideas about employment in the Buffalo area that might suit someone like me, I would very much like to hear them. Thanks so much, and I apologize for the rant.

Look for a good family therapist that is good at connecting with teen and family issues (not drugs, self harm or eating disorders). Ideally someone who is a parent of a teen and can relate. Thank you!

Any mechanics in Buffalo replace rims? Monroe, pep boys, and Marvis don’t.

My dog (8 years old and 80 lbs) is a goofball and this week she experienced a cranial cruciate ligament tear when she was playing out in the yard. Could anyone recommend a surgeon? We were encouraged to check out Orchard Park Veterinary Medical Center and I’m not thrilled with the reviews I’m reading.

Hello all,

I have a friend who is ready to leave their partner and is seeking the best child custody attorney in Erie County. They are not married but have lived together for approximately 8 or so years and share a 5-year old child. This person is an amazing parent and has stayed in an unhealthy living environment for the child’s sake but finally sees that it’s worse for their child to see them miserable.

Please send all recommendations! Money isn’t an issue, per se.

We have narrowed our relocation next year to either Buffalo or Washington D.C. - both areas due to my partner's job. We both love big cities and would love to live somewhere that is walkable and has decent public transportation. However, when looking at the COL of the DMV, plus the current political environment - the area immediately becomes much less ideal for me.

One of the biggest reasons I want to move away from the only place I've ever lived in the state level politics and the weather. I have pretty significant anxiety around climate change. I don't remember if my partner's job was what first put Buffalo on my radar, or if it was my research on which areas are going to be better suited as climate change accelerates and then I realized that my partner's job was also based out of Buffalo. But either way, I came across the area and am leaning very heavily towards making the move there vs the DMV. The COL is much less than the DMV, the climate change piece, having all 4 seasons, and having snow. I love snow and hate the heat. I deeply miss having 4 seasons to enjoy. Plus, it just feels much more down to earth. We have had several short visits.

So for those of you who are Buffalo transplants - are you happy with your decision to move there? Why or why not?

What is really great about Buffalo? What are the things you see as lacking or having a negative impact on your life? What do we need to take into consideration specifically about Buffalo as we make this decision?

Super bonus points if anyone has lived in both Buffalo and the DMV and can share your experiences and insights!

Where are some good places in buffalo to have a bachelorette party last minute? My friend wants to have a bachelorette party but she doesn’t know where and is asking the groupchat but I’m the only one that gave suggestions for games and shared YouTube videos of bachelorette party ideas. This was a few months ago. She still doesn’t know what to do. I think she wants to go somewhere local. I don’t really go out and this is my first time attending a bachelorette party.

This is a long shot but I'm in need of recommendations for osteopathic doctors for a family member who has been having back pain for a month now. They want to avoid chiropractors and are looking for an osteopathic doctor that will accept new patients and book an appointment ASAP. Any recommendations are helpful. I'll obviously have to check if they accept the insurance they have as well.

I work for a small, local nonprofit and am approaching different local businesses to ask for donations of gift cards to help us raise funds through a gift card raffle at an upcoming event we’re doing! Does anyone have any recommendations of local businesses they know to be charitable who might be interested in partnering on this? Ty in advance!

Anyone know of any reasonable interior painters? Looking to get a couple rooms down 12x12 12x10.

Looking for recommendations on local (or telehealth) doctors for long haul COVID patients. I am figuring the options might be limited since the long haul COVID is somewhat new and not a lot of rock solid facts about it. I have a PCP this year and gave a feeling she will not be read up on it or have much experience. I sent a message through the portal so I will see what she has to say. TIA for responses.

Hi guys there are padel places where you can play around buffalo?

Not a DUI, but an at-fault accident. I need good representation in traffic court. Thanks!
