Go to the west coast. I had to look at a property next to The Shops at Tanforan (Mall) in San Bruno,CA (next to SFO). The property and the mall property was a racetrack from 1899 to 1964. At the mall there is a display of the history of the site. During WWII, the track was a concentration camp for Japanese-Americans. They stayed in the stables and in the infield of the track. I had a friend there who's father and mother were kept there when they were young.These were US citizens, not lawbreaking illegal immigrants. Remember, that was when FDR, a dem, was POTUS. FDR also returned Jews to Nazi Germany. Might surprise you that there was an Italian POW camp in Buffalo during WWII. The area where the Ogden St.exit (Exit1) of I-190 was a POW camp. I had a HS friend whose father was one of the POWs. That's how his dad came to the US. When released, they let him stay here

I really liked that show. Fred Savage was supposed to be my age. My name IS Kevin, my sister IS Karen. My brother is NOT Wayne, but my brother-in-law is.

Roundy, based on the current state of NF, either your bosses ignore your planning or you suck at your job.

That was my back of the envelope calculation. I got my statement for the 2nd quarter by e-mail today. My gain was 8.01 %!

What do you think Ralph Wilson would think of these Bills?
Wacka replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
He is also responsible for the Patriots and the Raiders still being here. He loaned the owners $ when they were going under. in the 60's. -
Roundy and others forget the old adage :"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." The only economics education I have had is a half of senior year in HS, what my parents (neither a HS grad) instilled in me, and living 68 years, But I do know that the adage above is much better than the garbage you (Rowdy) are spewing.

How much did you pay for gas and groceries today?
Wacka replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Gas prices shot up about 15 cents when Israel started bombing Iran. They have already come down a few cents in the last week since the bunker busters and Trump reading the riot act to both. Sibce I don't drive much and fill up about every 4-6 weeks, it should be down to what it was the next time I fill up. -
Loved the weather outside on Channel 7 when they were located at their original studio on Main Street. The fire station was next door and if they got a call when the weather was live the siren would drown out whoever was doing the weather. Tom Jolls used the white grease pencil to write the temps, etc (before video graphics) on the board ad on hot humid nights, it would melt before he was finished. On night he is standing outside with no board and had to announce that the board had blown away in the windstorm the night before. Once Clip Smith was doing the weather and suddenly dived out of view. There was someone driving down Main Street in a gunfight with another driver.

La Salle Park, near the Peace Bridge is now Ralph C Wilson Park. His foundation is contributing most of the $ for the $110 million rehabilitation of the park. Last year a pedestrian bridge, that was shipped down the Erie Canal was installed over the 190. The southern portion off the park is expected to open in Spring 2026 and the northern portion in 2027. The foundation is the major funder of the Buffalo Hospice located in Cheektowaga (located behind what was the old Como Mall) , which I am grateful for the care at home they gave my mom and support to me when I was taking care of her at the end. -
I want to catch one last game at Rich Stadium late in the year...
Wacka replied to SoonerBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
The tech center building which will run the scoreboard, lighting, snow melting, turn sensors, wi-fi, and anything else I forgot was the first thing started. It is located between the stadium and Hammer;s Lot. They had to install the underground conduits before anything was started, The building itself was finished probably around Christmas. They have been installing the wiring and computers. -

Bills Score 3 TDs in 77 seconds. Sept. 30, 1990
Wacka replied to Dan Darragh's topic in The Stadium Wall
I comment on this every time it comes up on here. Was at that game. Next day, my mom was visiting my dad on the oncology floor at Mercy Hospital. He had an inoperable lung tumor. I visited after 5 PM to see dad and pick her up. Was describing the game to dad and we were having a good time. At about 6 PM he says that he hadn't really slept for 2 days and he wanted to go to sleep. Just as we're ready to say bye, he starts coughing up blood. We rush to get the nurse and within a minute or two, he was dead. The tumor had weakened one of the major vessels and he basically drowned in his own blood. Those two things are forever linked in my mind. -

UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
Wacka replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Hey idiot, the facility was completely obliterated and the uranium was spread all over the place. Do you think they were putting it on the front seat of their personal cars? If they have photos of the bombs hitting it, they had eyes on it all the time and would have bombed the s*** out of this convoys. How naive are you?
