Can't Cut It In Brooklyn? Try Buffalo.
Want a three-bedroom apartment on the park with front and back porches, an office and stained glass windows for $795? Try Buffalo. New York Magazine has the tale of a Brooklyn couple who decided to forsake their $1,300-a-month Sunset Park pad for bigger and better digs on New York State’s western frontier.

Want a three-bedroom apartment on the park with front and back porches, an office and stained glass windows for $795? Try Buffalo. New York Magazine has the tale of a Brooklyn couple who decided to forsake their $1,300-a-month Sunset Park pad for bigger and better digs on New York State’s western frontier. Several ex-New Yorkers wax philosophical about their post-NYC lives, too. I don’t miss my old life in New York,” one says. “I only miss the life in New York I know I never would have had.

I haz TWO toilets, what an interesting bit of info re: the movie. By the way, any chance we can get some insight into your handle (no pun intended)? It sounds like a tag line from Redd Foxx’s character in Sanford and Son, or something like that.
Hi bxgrl. When I first read your reference to speidies, I thought they must be a German version of very skimpy men’s bathing trunks!
That Stephen King book is “IT.” Freaking scary. There was a TV movie version with John Boy from The Waltons and John Ritter (who was so hot, truly, and such a sweetheart). There’s a horrific gay hate crime in the book, amongst other sundry terrors. Clowns are creepy anyway.
Bxgrl (I’m a Bronx girl too, yo, from Allerton Ave) Kingston is also supposed to be quite beautiful, with a thriving arts scene.
wasder, I suppose I could have used Weckster’s Dictionary or Funk & Wingnalls as well.
Did you guys have speidies up in Buffalo? They were a specialty in Binghamton which was also a place where real pizza took forever to migrate to. Binghamton’s version was tomato paste on bread with melted velveeta. Squares of french bread.
Thanks Biff.
that Weckipedia is good for lots of stuff eh?
Tick Tick Tick. 51 days til you buy us drinks DOW-twat.

“A kummelweck, or sometimes kimmelweck or even kümmelweck, is a salty roll that is popular in Western New York. It is similar to a Kaiser roll, but topped with pretzel salt and caraway seeds. Kummelweck is commonly shortened to “weck” (pronounced “wick”), and often served in the Buffalo metropolitan area with roast beef and horseradish to form a sandwich known colloquially as “beef on weck.” Along with wings, beef on weck is one of the two most distinct dishes of the region.”
Thanks east river. A clown in a sewer is exactly how I’ve always pictured DOWhat.
Good question Townhouse Lady! What the heck is weck?
