Stumbled across your web site while searching the internet. My uncle, William Fries, worked for the railroad for many years and helped write several books; "Iron Rails in Seneca Land" and "Baltimore and Ohio Railroad" and "Erie Railroad". Very interesting site. |

Great people, food, and mostly memories of Pine Woods Pk, Ellicot Creek Park picnics, Crystal Beach, every summer, the rich colors of Fall, the trains, old theatres, the history, old departmt. stores, fish fries and more! I want to come home!! Hi to the class of '68!! : ) |

Hello to all readers.I love this site,especially the old photos of the city. I was born in the WCA Hospital in Jamestown. I lived in and around Jamestown all my life, until the early 90s,when I moved to Buffalo.I moved to the lower east side, off of Broadway. Ashley and Person St.For the next ten years, I lived in North Buffalo and West Seneca.I was fascinated with the city, and the architecture that Buffalo held. So when I found this site,I was happy to see the things that are not there anymore. This part of my little note, is to the people that are looking for the things that are not there anymore. While living in West Seneca I came across newspapers from March to July of 1945. I have some thirty to forty papers that I am able to scan for you if you would like a copy of any of the articles. Please contact me via email. I will reply to you asap. I hope that someone else will share,old things about our beloved city of Buffalo? |

Great site! However one small correction. The the US Life-Saving Station crew is not firing a floation device. They are firing a Lyle gun projectile, which weights roughly 19 lbs. It is pulling a shotline and if the skill of the crew is good, that line will fall across the spar of the wreck pole in the background. Once the shotline is in place the shipwrecked crew (or since this is a practice shot) one of the station's crew, will use it to haul a whipline out followed by a hawser. Eventually a breeches buoy will be rigged and the shipwrecked crew rescued. All of this should be finished in 3 minutes or so. Note the overturned "X" of the sand anchor. It is a good photo. |

Karen Hennigen might be there,too! I imagine things have changed quite a bit since I was there when I was nineteen. Tonawanda was a great little town. See ya, JA |

Thanks for the memories. When I was a child, I lived in a small town to the south west of London. There were three mainlines through town in the 1940's, NYC, C&O and CN. I sat for hours near the tracks listening to all those steam trains whistling at three different crossings. Those whistles still make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Thanks again. |

Started my RR career with the Buffalo Creek in the mid-60's. Later an EL, NYC, PC, and CR man. Since late 80's with Ohio Central system. Our experience in bring dead and dying railroads back to life in Ohio and other states argues that Buffalo's railroad malaise in greatly self-induced. Researching the history of the Erie (DL&W and EL) Buffalo Division, the Buffalo Creek Railroad, and the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railway System. Contacts and data sources would be appreciated. |

I have purchased the book "Proud Vision", but I would love to hear from anyone with knowledge of what is was like to work at the hospital as an 'attendent' during the late 1930s.

I was born and raised in Buffalo but moved away because of my career. I am trying to reconstruct their world vrom the 40's when they met. Is it possible to obtain copies of pictures. I was looking for pictures of the Town Casino and the Chez Ami, two places they went to dance. I would appreciate any suggestions Thanks Larry Bauer |

A very nice site! I was born in Buffalo; raised in N. Tonawanda, and left for Florida at age 20. Twenty-eight years later, I'm still here but I did visit this past June. Fascinated by the Falls (always), the wonderful food, and the amazingly low prices. All Buffalo buffs should read City of Light by Lauren Belfer, set in the Buffalo of 1900. Stay warm this winter! |

I was born in Buffalo-lived in the Black Rock Section. Then moved to Town of Tonawanda in the early 70's. I went to PS 79, PS 81, Kenmore Jr High & Kenmore West HS. Left New York & moved to South Dakota. Only been back to Buffalo one time since, in 1981. This was a great site to bring back memories. Sorry to read that the Colvin Theatre was tore down. Use to go there on Saturdays and watch movies for $.25. |

BRIGHTON POOL IN THE SUMMER; PEE WEE CREEK; P/U FOOTBALL GAMES AT OUR SCHOOL- GLENDALE ELEMENTARY; SNOW FROM OCTOBER TO SOMETIMES APRIL; MAKING SNOWMEN; SNOWBALL FIGHTS; CAMPING OUT IN BACKYARDS; PLAYING "KICK THE CAN" THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD; RIDING OUR BIKES TO WOODELL DRUGS TO BUY CANDY, GUM, AND TEN CENT KITES. STAYING OUTSIDE TO PLAY ALL DAY, UNTIL SUNDOWN. WAITING TO HEAR MY FATHER WHISTLE FOR ME TO COME HOME, BECAUSE IT WAS TIME TO EAT OR COME IN FOR THE EVENING.THE 60'S, TURBULENT TIMES FOR A NATION, BUT TO A GROUP OF KIDS GROWING UP IN A MIDDLE CLASS SUBURB, LIFE SEEMED MUCH SIMPLER THEN. EVERY KID SHOULD BE FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS. GREAT MEMORIES-I THINK ABOUT THOSE TIMES QUITE OFTEN- I MISS THEM. |

Hi, I grew up in South Buffalo, attended P.S. #29 and South Park H.S.; graduated 1969 and am wondering if anyone knows if there will be another SPHS reunion I missed the 25th and never heard of a 30th. I love your site, it brings back alot of memories but do you have any pictures of S. Buffalo? It was a wonderful place to grow up. Thanks. |

I enjoyed visiting your site. I have never fully appreciated the beauty of Buffalo. Your pictures are great. I learned a lot about the history of the city. Many people think that this is a dying city but I think the best is yet to come. |

What a GREAT Buffalo history site! Keep up the good work. I would very much like to receive e-mail from anyone with memories or knowledge of: The 'Wood and Brooks' piano key manufacturing company in Riverside; The 1940s Thompson or Guernsey Street neighborhood in Black Rock; Attendants at Buffalo State Hospital on Forest Avenue in the 1930s; PS #51 on Hertle Avenue in 1949; The Baynes Street neighborhood in the 1940s (Matthews Confectionary -1945-46, at 129 Baynes - across from Lafayette HS or PS #45). Thanks to all for remembering! |

I have a desk that was given to me by my mother-in-law. It has a metal stamp in the drawer. I am trying to find out about it. What i can read of the stamp is Remington (Pano or rano) Tonowanda, NY. I am looking to find out how old the desk is and its origin. If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you |

Remarkable!. You have probably been asked this one a thousand times - Are these (railroad sounds) available on Cassette or CD?. If so where. |
(note - a cd containing the railroad recordings featured on the "Living With Steam" Web site will be available soon - ath.)

I'm trying to find information about a grandfather who lived in North Tonawanda and then Buffalo, NY. His name was Charles Marky. He married Maud Cutway. I have been told that her family lived in North Tonawanda at one time, also. This would be prior to 1922. |

Just came upon this site while looking up information on the buffalos around Buffalo to benefit Roswell Park Hospital. Great idea and very innovative. Buffalo holds fond memories from childhood on. Keep on improving but don't lose the "home town" atmosphere that is unique to Western NY. |

I visted the light with my folks in the forties. In the fifties I kept a sailing dinghy at Sandy Banister's, down the way. At least once a season all our boats blew ashore. For fifteen years or so now, our crew has sailed J24 Coyote back to her, after the race, every summer Wednesday . She's a sight. |

I was born in Buffalo in 1929 and was delighted when I found this website. It's fun to look back. I feel that I had the best years in Buffalo during the 20 years I lived there. After I married, I moved to Eden, NY. The politicans have ruined downto wn and it will never be the way it was in my early years. What wonderful department stores and the theatres that were available to us. At least, I have good memories. |
