The Turk-Cake — A Delicious Thanksgiving Alternative [VIDEO] [#SAVETHANKSGIVING]
November 19, 2012 If you're looking for a dessert recipe, you've come to the wrong place. A turk-cake is not one of those (sorta creepy) turkey-shaped cakes you bring out at the end of a Thanksgiving meal. A turk-cake is the Thanksgiving meal!

November 18, 2012 Looking at the bottom half of the above postcard, can you tell what the old Greyhound Bus Terminal is today, in 2012? And, no, the answer is not "a pile of rubble" -- this puppy (ha, I'm punny!) is still (mostly) standing.

It's clear from the old photo of the Square above that a very pretty, old building used to be where the library stands now -- but what was it?

Green Day Get Retro on ‘¡Dos!’ — Album Review
November 7, 2012 A few years ago -- 2008, to be exact -- Green Day released an album under the name Foxboro Hot Tubs. 'Stop Drop and Roll!!!' was some mighty fine '60s rock -- at least, as fine as one would expect from a West Coast '90s punk band.

What is This Hurricane Sandy ‘Frankenstorm’ + How Will it Affect Buffalo?
October 26, 2012 Although it's hard to think about looking outside your window at today's gorgeous sunshine, we're used to bad weather around this time of year in Buffalo. The winter brings snow, ice and generally bad conditions, sometimes as early as October. We also get our fair share of wind and rain from East Coast tropical storms.
But both together? It could happen next week.
