All those great song parodies from the 1990's My favorite was always "Drew throws like a lady"

One of the few games I ever left early - we were wet everywhere

Too many jobs to remember - but the first High school book store - selling pencils etc. After school - 12 Corners Plaza in Brighton - washing all the windows - end to end - and then again - a never ending job but a lot of perks! 85 cents/hour

Did it speed up the game?

"On my first day of mini-camp, Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy came up to me and knew my name and all my stats. He was the head coach and he knew everything about me." (Levy had coached in the Canadian Football League for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.) Tindale had gained television exposure in Buffalo through CHCH-TV's broadcast of Ontario university football, which had made him a "cult hero" of sorts in the station's broadcast area. Tindale scored his first career rushing touchdown on December 30, 1995, in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. His Western University coach, Larry Haylor, said he remembers watching Tindale's first NFL touchdown while on vacation. "We were huddled around a 7-inch TV screen. Tim broke a run for 44 yards and my wife and I were jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. People came storming into our room to see what was wrong." Haylor also said "I always said Tim would be the guy I would pick first if I had to choose a team. At 5'11", 220 [pounds], he had very unusual talents. He's one of those guys who will give you his soul in effort."

If this works out - will the NFL take notice? https://mashable.com/article/fifa-world-cup-ai-offside-tech?utm_source=GetTheElevatordotcom

The UB Bookstore junked all their NCR behemoths in 1978. Those things weighed at least 200 pounds and were indestructible. For Agnes - I was in high school in Rochester and it rained for like three straight days. Every hand patrolled the streets to keep the sewers cleared

$15 for 10 is pretty much standard here. I see a lot of menus heavily promoting "boneless" wings. (Buffalo) I just bought a dozen (precooked) at BJ's for 10.99 + a $3 dollar coupon off. I don't need wings at $15 that bad. 1970's - Fridays at Broadway Joe's - 10 cents wings and drafts

I am sure - has not played in 6 (SIX) seasons ! NFL Pipedream

The Braves were linked with Toronto in 1974 - good read here of attitudes back then (48 years ago) https://sportsteamhistory.com/when-toronto-got-buffaloed-by-the-nba

A truly incredible night. First sellout of the year. The arena was alive with buzz. The players were greased lightning. I haven't been misty eyed there since the final night when the old Aud closed So many great old jerseys and names There was even a Tsujimoto jersey in our section 🤣 https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/the-legend-of-taro-tsujimoto/c-438557 That was the first I have been to the arena in 3 years - if they finish the season strong - maybe mini-pack next year. BTW - no one takes cash anymore 🥺 Where does Momma hide the cookies?

The product flow changed over the years. They no longer needed to store grain in those quantities. There is still a milling operation at the site. DECLINE OF THE GRAIN TRADE Buffalo's grain trade reached one of its high points during the 1920s when receipts exceeded 300,000,000 bushels a year. World War II plus the necessity. of helping to feed western Europe in the post-war years continued to stimulate the grain trade. As a result, the late 1940s saw several years 16 when grain received at Buffalo elevators and mills approached or exceeded the 300,000,000 bushel level. Since that time the decline in Buffalo's grain industries has been steady and severe. Grain receipts now are scarcely 20% of the amount received in the late 1940s. Consequently, many grain elevators have been abandoned or are being used to less than their full capacities. Elevator storage capacity has declined from a high point of 58,400,000 bushels in 1942 to a low point of 22,650,000 bushels. And the winter fleet that once numbered hundreds of vessels is now nearly extinct. The reasons for this decline are complex but three of the most significant are clear. The Welland Ship Canal (fourth one built in the Welland, Ontario, area) opened in 1932. With its opening full-sized grain boats coming from upper Great Lakes ports could by-pass Buffalo, delivering their cargo to Prescott, Ontario or Oswego, New York, for transshipment. Virtually no Canadian grain has been transshipped from Buffalo since that time. Next, completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1952 gave moderate size ocean A ship in the Buffalo River is unloading at the GLF (Agway) Elevators "A ", "B", and "C. " 17 The Great Northern Elevator, built in 1897 by James J. Hill, is now called the Mutual Elevator and is an adjunct to the Pillsbury Flour Mill. It is of a unique design having steel bins enclosed in a brick sheath. vessels access to the interior of North America by way of the Great Lakes. This ended Buffalo's grain transshipment business completely. While the transshipment business was coming to an end, Buffalo's animal feed industry was likewise declining. Decentralization occurred in this industry during the years between 1955 and 1970. Grain and other animal feed ingredients were no longer shipped to the large feed mills in Buffalo. Instead, smaller mills were built within trucking distance of the regions in which cattle, hogs, and horses consumed the animal feed. As a result, nearly all of Buffalo's feed mills ceased operation, the single exception being the Wollenberg, which produces only bird seed. At one time Buffalo's mills annually ground over 100,000,000 bushels of grain and other ingredients into animal feed. With the feed industry gone, Buffalo's grain traffic suffered still another drastic decline. The end of transshipment and the closing out of the animal feed business meant more than a decline in the grain trade. It meant a serious loss of jobs. At one time thousands of men and women worked in some capacity associated with the grain elevators and the grain business. Now their jobs are gone. 18 Buffalo remains prominent only in the milling of grain into flour. Even this prominence is threatened by new developments in transportation and business organization. Buffalo badly needs a modern Joseph Dart to apply new or even old technology to enhance the natural advantages that a large lake city has. Years ago the poet Carl Sandburg wrote that fog comes "on little cat feet" and sits looking "over harbour and city on silent haunches" before it moves on. Buffalo's grain industry was bustling and noisy, not silent like the fog Sandburg wrote about. Moreover, unlike the fog, Buffalo's grain industry has left evidence of its presence "over harbour and city ." Grain elevators and mills, even those now empty and abandoned, are the evidence of the time when Buffalo's grain industry flourished -and then moved on. http://bechsed.nylearns.org/pdf/Buffalos_Grain_Elevators.pdf

You are not thinking pickle juice - are you? I have had smoked lasagna - with the right sausage - it is a party in yourmouthh

Can you possibly imagine the amount of seagull, pigeon and rat type ***** in that building? It is a hazardous waste site right there, aside from building materials.

Somewhere - ribs on the grill started showing up for Christmas. The hunter across the street harvested a doe and buck (Crossbow) - holding out for a few ribs - need lots of brine time That's why I save the lasagna for the 4th of July
