The Leonid Meteor Shower Simplified

Prime viewing of the Leonid Meteor Shower as seen from the northeast United States will be on tuesday the 17th of November from 3:30am -5:30am in the dark southeastern sky. As compared to the 500 meteors/hour, expected to be seen from central and eastern Asia, our more modest viewing of a few dozen meteors/hour will still be impressive as meteors are expected to trail for a number of seconds, possibly even minutes.

west side walk it out

this morning I hoofed around the west side and came upon urban roots, buffalo's inner city community garden center located on the corner of w. utica and rhode island.

urban roots is a gardeners utopia in the midst of one of the more dilapidated parts of the city. Amazingly friendly staff, gorgeous variety of flowers, trees, shrubs, and vegetables plus all types of gardening equipment. I seriously was walking around getting a teary eyed.

at just three weeks old, is neighbor five points bakery. a completely beautiful bakery and cafe that made me want to jump behind the counter kneed some bread dough. I didn't sample any of the wares, but they looked pretty darn tempting.

please do yourself a service and pay these stores a visit.

price-rite

price-rite is open and I'm really excited about it!

if I was this guy, I'd be even more exited. the produce section is awesome, people are really friendly, and it's just a sketchy parking lot away from my apartment.

unfortunately, there was a crime scene investigation today so I had to take a detour. never the less, I came home with a big bag of fresh food at a really good price.

I'm happy to have price-rite as my new neighbor.

this post is dedicated to the old man who passed today in the sketch lot 3/24/09
