Seems we caught a case of the Irish Flu....

So it has been awhile since one we got a post up, and two since some serious hobby progress happened. lol well friends there is a reason for this it is St. Patrick's month and I am seriously involved with a Girl from South Buffalo. So with that I figured I would do a little cultural piece about South Buffalo. So that way one you can understand a bit about the culture we Bisons are surrounded by and two when i die suddenly of kidney failure you understand why.

South Buffalo has one of the highest concentrations of Irish-Americans west of the Hudson outside of Chicago, and San Fransisco. With that it is everything Irish American you could imagine. Everyone is related to a Cop or a Fire fighter, it is a blue collar community. If you want a true taste of the culture hit up one of the Bars. honestly if you want good food you are going to the same places.

what is awesome is that this time of year you have Irish bands playing almost every night live. On top of that no community in buffalo is as involved or proud to say they are from Buffalo like the South Buffalo natives.  I was all set to leave Buffalo before I met Katie and she brought me into this community. Now I am trying to find a way to get back and get done with the Marines as soon as possible.

So here is a run down if you come to Buffalo of places you need to go:

These three Pizza Shops:

Imperial Pizza!

Imperial Pizza-my Favorite
Wise Guys
Abbott Pizza

For Wings you need to try the following:
Doc Sullivan's- Katie's Favorite also a great bar
Charlie O'Brien's - My Favorite also a bar
Abbott Pizza

Good Bars/Restaurants:
Charlie O'Brien's
The Blackthorn
Doc Sullivan's
The Swannie House


As far as local attractions:
If the weather's nice check out Cazenovia Park, first week in September is Irish fest which is a great time. in the winter Caz is also a pretty good looking winter scene.

The Irish Center usually has something going on anything from comedy shows, to live bands, Irish dancers, and to top it all off it has a bar in it!

Plus another fun thing to do and it is cheap for the summer months is hit up a Buffalo Bisons game then head down to either Docs or the Blackthorn and enjoy some cold ones.

 With that said I have enjoyed my Shamrock run in sleet and hurricane winds, I am gonna enjoy my two St. Patrick day Parades, and I am gonna drink so much beer and eat so much corn beef that even a Dwarf would feel ashamed.

So I will see you guys next Month with Some finished Blood Angels, Some NEW Grey Knights, a new logo, and hopefully gearing up for our first official event!

And stay tuned Hoff will be posting an article up shortly!
