On the Waterfront
We've just discovered an interesting site to keep expats informed about developments on the Waterfront. There's also other good Buffalo material there. The site is owned by Dave Courtney of Buffalo T Shirts, a business that designs and sells limited edition t-shirts that celebrate Buffalo. Our favorite is his Rocketship Seven t-shirt. You'll see it at his Buffalo Harborfront site.
