In the 10 o’clock hour of June 16th, (according to a City of Buffalo police officer) 2 “kids” jumped off the Cazenovia Street bridge and “went missing”.

Details are limited, but a COB diving team arrived around 10:30 to search the Cazenovia Creek.

As of 1:30 am (06/17), police are still present in the area.

Age, gender, condition of “kids” haven’t been told as police held back citizens from the Cazenovia bridge, between North/South Legion & Cazenovia Park area.

The Grace Lutheran Church, 174 Cazenovia Street, will host a Chivetta’s Chicken Dinner on Saturday, May 31st.

The cost, pre-sale $6.50 ~ $7.00 at the door

proceeds to benefit kids going to camp.

By: Cindyk. The other day the green street light poles were (re)painted in black on Cazenovia Street in South Buffalo,

And then I was reminded of the same green street light poles on North Legion Drive that were (re)painted 2 years ago: (pic taken day of post)

I don’t know if the City of Buffalo realizes this….. but THE RUST ALWAYS SHOWS THROUGH THE BLACK PAINT!!!!

Updated post to add Cazenovia Street pictures from last year to go along with my comment left:

The fact that these street lights are the oldest in the city, there are only so many times they can make them look new again. They are all rusted to some extent, and they all need to be replaced, not just covered up.

The rust is chipped away, metal plates are welded on to cover the rust, and then they are painted with primer. Eventually (re)painted black to cover up the “quick fix” work, so that anyone would think they are new, when all they are are quick fixes…. in two years though, the street light poles on Cazenovia will then show the same condition as those on North Legion.

The youth of Grace Lutheran Church will present their yearly Fairy Tale Theater show on Friday, April 25th, 2008, at 7:00PM and Saturday, April 26th, 2008, at 3:00PM & 7:00PM.

This is a brand-new wacky feature based on a fairy tale, called “Beauty and the Not So Much…”

Be ready for some crazy antics, silly songs, wonderful costumes, wisecracks, and, of course, a chase scene!! Fun for all ages!!

Free Koolaid, and proceeds from Bake Sale/Refreshments raise funds to send kids to camp!

The location of all this action is Grace Lutheran Church, 174 Cazenovia Street, South Buffalo. Please call 822-0553 for tickets, which are $4.00 Presale, $5.00 at the door.

From the previous post, the pot holes were filled in the other day. The cold patch won’t last long and the City will be back out filling this spot in by mid-summer.

It’s fixed, but what a shame it still looks though.
