Download or read book Talking Proud written by Rich Blake and published by . This book was released on 2005-09-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 1970s came to an end, Buffalo Bills fans had little to cheer about. While O.J. Simpson proved a national treasure, the Bills remained the laughingstock of the league. Meanwhile, the city itself was reeling from the disastrous Blizzard of '77, steel and auto plant shutdowns, generally high unemployment, a decaying downtown and relentless razzing by Johnny Carson. But in the fall of 1980, the Bills, led by hardnosed coach Chuck Knox and gutsy quarterback Joe Ferguson, embarked on a stunning turnaround that began with a win at Rich Stadium over the hated Miami Dolphins - ending an unprecedented losing streak that spanned 20 games. What followed was one of the most memorable seasons on record including the first ever AFC East Championship. By coincidence the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce that fall had unveiled a widespread public relations effort to celebrate the region, including television and radio commercials featuring a snappy song, "Buffalo's got a spirit, talking proud talking proud..." This is the story of that magical Bills season, the spirited campaign and how the two became memorably intertwined. Unfairly discarded among the storied AFL teams of the mid-1960s and the great Super Bowl teams of the early 1990s, the Bills of 1980 didn't even win their playoff game, a heartbreaking loss in San Diego in which Ferguson nearly pulled out a victory playing on a broken ankle. But these Bills provided Buffalo with a reason to feel good just when the city needed it most. Using personal memories of growing up in South Buffalo in the shadow of Rich Stadium and extensive interviews, journalist Rich Blake brings this forgotten season to life with a sense of humor and poignancy that will have fans of all eras cherishing the '80 Bills, and once again talking proud. For anyone who ever wondered why Bills fans love their team so much this book makes it clear.
Download or read book Buffalo Everything A Guide to Eating in The Nickel City written by Arthur Bovino and published by The Countryman Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the classic and modern food traditions of Buffalo Buffalo isn’t just a city full of great wings. There is a great hot dog tradition, from Greek- originated “Texas red hots” to year-round charcoal-grilling at Ted’s that puts Manhattan’s dirty water dogs to shame. This is also a city of great sandwiches. It’s a place where capicola gets layered on grilled sausage, where sautéed dandelions traditionally make up the greens in a comestible called steak- in-the-grass, and chicken fingers pack into soft Costanzo’s sub rolls with Provolone, tomato, lettuce, blue cheese dressing, and Frank’s RedHot Sauce to become something truly naughty. Food and travel writer Arthur Bovino ate his research, taking the reader to the bars, the old-school Polish and Italian-American eateries, the Burmese restaurants, and the new-school restaurants tapping into the region’s rich agricultural bounty. With all this experience under his belt (and stretching it), Bovino has created the essential guide to food in Buffalo.

Download or read book Buffalo Noir written by Ed Park and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Offbeat, disturbing, and sometimes darkly comical” crime stories set in upstate New York by Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block, S.J. Rozan, and more (Kirkus Reviews). Buffalo is still the second-largest metropolis in New York State, but in recent years its designation as the Queen City has been elbowed aside by a name that’s pure noir: The City of No Illusions. Presidents came from here—and in 1901 while visiting the Pan-American Exposition, a president was killed here by a man who checked into a hotel under a name that translates as Nobody. As Buffalo saw its prosperity wane, those on the outside could only see harsh winters and Rust Belt grit, chicken wings, and sports teams that came agonizingly close. This collection of crime stories is both a treasure for mystery fans and an atmospheric tour of this moody, gritty city. Featuring brand-new stories by Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block, Ed Park, Gary Earl Ross, Kim Chinquee, Christina Milletti, Tom Fontana, Dimitri Anastasopoulos, Lissa Marie Redmond, S.J. Rozan, John Wray, Brooke Costello, and Connie Porter. “From the Irish enclave of South Buffalo and a Niagara Street bar to a costly house in Nottingham Terrace and a once-grand Gothic structure in Elmwood Village, Buffalo’s past and present come to life . . . by authors who really know their city.” —Kirkus Reviews “Contributors include several mystery heavyweights. . . . Those curious about the criminal side of the second-biggest city in New York will be rewarded.” —Publishers Weekly “Each story represents a different neighborhood and cross-section of the city, and the resulting collection feels like a vivid, comprehensive tour of a distinctive place, administered by locals. There’s nothing quite like noir to shine a light, after all.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “Original short stories by established local authors with flawless credentials . . . .Together, the stories cover cityscapes well-known to Buffalonians—to name a few, Elmwood Avenue, Niagara Street, Black Rock, North Park, Delaware Park, and Allentown. Local landmarks Peace Bridge and the Anchor Bar made it in there, too.” —Examiner “Superb.” —The Buffalo News

Download or read book When Buffalo Sat Atop the Sports World written by Sal Maiorana and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From generation to generation there are some things that never change in Buffalo, New York. Every winter is cold and miserable; there is no place on earth that has better chicken wings despite many pretenders to the throne; and the professional sports teams that are in many ways the lifeblood of Western New York break the hearts and crush the souls of a passionate fan base that, nonetheless, though all the disappointment remains loyal and supportive. Born in 1960, the NFL's Buffalo Bills have never won a Super Bowl. Born in 1970, the NHL's Buffalo Sabres have never won a Stanley Cup. And in their brief eight-year existence, the Buffalo Braves never won an NBA championship.But there was a time, fleeting as it was in the mid-1970's, when all three of Buffalo's teams were winning consistently, were in the championship conversation, and were led by nationally-recognized superstars and future Hall of Famers in their respective sport - O.J. Simpson of the Bills, Gilbert Perreault of the Sabres, and Bob McAdoo of the Braves.Buffalo was a city in decline in the mid-1970's with unemployment rising and the population falling in terrifying numbers. Neighborhoods were in disrepair, businesses were closing down, and the economy was on life support, but the one thing that helped the city cope were its sports teams.The Bills, Sabres and Braves provided an outlet as Rich Stadium and Memorial Auditorium were places where people could go to forget about it all and spend a few hours being entertained by exciting teams and players who made Buffalo proud in the face of all the struggles.This is a remembrance of what it was like for Buffalo fans between the fall of 1973 and the spring of 1976, which was truly the golden age of Buffalo sports.
Download or read book Blood Brothers written by Deanne Stillman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Ohioana Book Award for Nonfiction “Deanne Stillman’s splendid Blood Brothers eloquently explores the clash of cultures on the Great Plains that initially united the two legends and how this shared experience contributed to the creation of their ironic political alliance.” —Bobby Bridger, Austin Chronicle It was in Brooklyn, New York, in 1883 that William F. Cody—known across the land as Buffalo Bill—conceived of his Wild West show, an “equestrian extravaganza” featuring cowboys and Indians. It was a great success, and for four months in 1885 the Lakota chief Sitting Bull appeared in the show. Blood Brothers tells the story of these two iconic figures through their brief but important collaboration, in “a compelling narrative that reads like a novel” (Orange County Register). “Thoroughly researched, Deanne Stillman’s account of this period in American history is elucidating as well as entertaining” (Booklist), complete with little-told details about the two men whose alliance was eased by none other than Annie Oakley. When Sitting Bull joined the Wild West, the event spawned one of the earliest advertising slogans: “Foes in ’76, Friends in ’85.” Cody paid his performers well, and he treated the Indians no differently from white performers. During this time, the Native American rights movement began to flourish. But with their way of life in tatters, the Lakota and others availed themselves of the chance to perform in the Wild West show. When Cody died in 1917, a large contingent of Native Americans attended his public funeral. An iconic friendship tale like no other, Blood Brothers is a timeless story of people from different cultures who crossed barriers to engage each other as human beings. Here, Stillman provides “an account of the tragic murder of Sitting Bull that’s as good as any in the literature…Thoughtful and thoroughly well-told—just the right treatment for a subject about which many books have been written before, few so successfully” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
Download or read book Buffalo Unbound written by Laura Pedersen and published by Fulcrum Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about the economic collapse and social unrest of her 1970s childhood in Buffalo, New York, Laura Pedersen was struck by how things were finally improving in her beloved hometown. As 2008 began, Buffalo was poised to become the thriving metropolis it had been a hundred years earlier—only instead of grain and steel, the booming industries now included healthcare and banking, education and technology. Folks who'd moved away due to lack of opportunity in the 1980s talked excitedly about returning home. They mised the small-town friendliness and it wasn't nostalgia for a past that no longer existed—Buffalo has long held the well-deserved nickname the City of Good Neighbors. The diaspora has ended. Preservationists are winning out over demolition crews. The lights are back on in a city that's usually associated with blizzards and blight rather than its treasure trove of art, architecture, and culture.

Download or read book My Husband Has Died but That S Not the Funny Part written by Debra J. Blood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Losing her husband Dennis unexpectedly in 2011, at the young age of 47, Debra was faced with handling grief in the only way she knew how, with strength, grace and much laughter. Debra worked through her tears by posting to her husband each day (for one year) on a social media website after his passing. She credits her seeing the light of day by sharing funny stories of their time together and walking through the pain, not alone, but with her ever growing unshakeable faith in God and the resounding love of many who have taken this journey each day with her. Through her stories, her daily blog (thehappywidow.com) and her posts she has used her distinctively unique humor, desire to honor the love of her life, and her ability to tell it like it is to inspire, lift, and encourage others in a way seldom seen. Losing the one you love suddenly is like being put on a roller coaster ride (and I have always hated those). You rise slowly, fall fast, hold on for dear life, and scream not so nice words that you hope those around you didnt hear. But when you get off this ride, while you may not want to buy another ticket, you are so proud of yourself for just being able to say you let go, threw your hands in the air the entire time and you indeed lived through it. You will laugh, you will cry, at time you will pray you never personally know how she truly feels, but after you read this book that was written to her sweet husband Dennis and for her children Timothy and Sarah, you will believe that just maybe there is a way to face death and come out smiling.
