"Dine In" includes a billboard-sized painting of an Eggo waffle label. A grotesque close-up of a person gnawing a chicken wing. A "table laid with good intentions." Who can't relate to that?

Buffalo’s diner scene, despite the fact that diners are often mobbed for breakfast, is shrinking. The reasons are numerous and predictable, mostly boiling down to the diner’s late stage in a trend’s life expectancy.

Whenever any group of new arrivals is condemned as unassimilable, I like to point out that #Buffalo's first German language newspaper began publishing in 1837 (Der Weltburger). Other German newspapers joined in.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.
