The Thruway Mall (technically it was in Cheektowaga, but we'd bike-ride the 3 miles from Buffalo). The same for Gold Circle & Twin Fair of which we'd travel to for shopping at.

I miss milk machines on every corner

The Courier Express newspaper.

I miss the "Buffalo Evening News" (a newspaper that was delivered later in the day. Today is "yesterday's headlines" in the Buffalo News).

I miss a new 45 record bought at Cavages (See: Thruway Mall).

Feel free at any time to chime in and share what you miss "in Buffalo"

I miss "free lunches" & swimming at Schiller Park.
Yeah the news is waaay better in the evening. Mornings good, but if something happens at noon. itll be in the evening edition.

I'll second a lot of the things mentioned here, but one thing long gone that I miss is this little bakery in North Tonawanda run by these 2 old Polish ladies, that we used to frequent when I was a kid. They made some good stuff!

And speaking of Polish stuff, hearing polka on the radio!

A few months ago I did a photo shoot with the 3-time-nominated Jerry Darlack and the Touch. It was their first showing at Sportsman's after the Grammy's.

Now you are dating yourself! Do you know the address? I think the building is still standing, but I was so small when I used to go there with my Grandmother that I don't remember if this is the place:



I remember rows and rows of toys- boxed and also loose where you could by individual pieces like plastic army soldiers. Good memories.
