downtown buff

I had a few secret shopper jobs to do yesterday evening, so I took buffalo boy (he's good to say...no dont go down that road, its the MOTHA FUCKIN GHETTO!!!11 omglol) on an epic journey to downtown buffalo to sample the best dunkin donuts the area has to offer..or something. Anyways the first one was easy to find, it was in a delta sonic (gas station extravaganza, they had sushi in the refrigerated convenience section, I didn't dare try it I think it had vienna sausages and cheez whiz in it)...the second one was a little more tricky. actually, it really wasn't, we just made it a lot more difficult then it should have been. It was on Main St...however when they built the subway (which is pretty useless, it doesn't really go anywhere) they built it right on main st, so about a mile of it is un-useable. Anyways, we had the street number but he couldn't remember whether it was before or after the subway crap. Anyways we ended up parking on the next street over and walking. It ended up being on Chippewa, and we had passed it about 10 minutes earlier. It wasn't all bad though..downtown buffalo has some beautiful old buildings, we even walked past the free ice skating rink, it was really pretty. I would have taken a picture, but my camera was in the car. Anyways, it was kind of fun to walk around a bit, kind of get a feel for the city. Unfortunately, that feel is largely an empty shell of a once-great metropolis. As kevin so aptly put it, it is a 'city for introverts'...I really think they should market that, they might get more people if they went that angle. Then we went to Duff's (Kevin's been living here for like 3 years and has never been there..) so we went..the bbq wings were GROSS..they were pretty much just covered with slightly spicy ketchup. The medium wings were okay though, and the fries were crispy and delicious. For some reason he likes eating them with mayo, wtf mate. He says its european, I say its gross! That could relate to my jello/mayo experience though. If you dont know it, I dont want to tell you, just suffice it to say its not a good combo. Ooohhh I think we're gonna go to toronto some weekend, I've never been and want to check out the bustling canadian metropolis...obviously not until it gets a little warmer and there's cool stuff to do (not clubbing/bars though..god shoot me now, thats about as fun as ripping your fingernails out with pliers..) Oooooohhh yeah, the buffalo zoo is getting a few tiger cubs, I have to go visit them when they're here!! Anyways, thats pretty much it from this end. I'm meeting ash in roch tonight and we're doing sushi, it will be excellent, i predict. awesome.
