Saw the police there and Los lobos

I'm sure you did.  Just Cheektowaga, or did they need the Erie County Sheriff's Department to assist?

Is this what the Boomers will look like waiting for HealthCare 50 years later.  Except w/walkers while in synth gabardine replacing the Gloria Vanderbilt denim bells?

 

:lol:

The building is still there. It went back to being a warehouse/factory.  It is located on the South side of Walden  behind Custom Carpets across from the Walmart (where the GEX/Flea Market used to be).

The old Uncle Sam's building was demolished in 2015. remember it had a curved roof. no buildings exist like that at 2525 Walden Ave.

 

This was a write up that appeared in the newspaper:

 

A piece of Buffalo music history quietly came to an end last week. The warehouse complex at 2525 Walden Avenue which housed Uncle Sam’s, one of the area’s more popular nightclubs for music, concerts and dancing during the 70's and 80's was demolished. Many artist's such as The Pretenders, Joan Jett and of course Buffalo's own Talas graced the stage at Uncle Sam's.

why were people so unattractive during that period of time?


The 70s fashions, hairstyles, and make-up were not good looks. SMH. And the keep trying to bring that ugly back again.
