Strip club to animal shelter is an interesting change, lol.

EDIT: i paid the ticket and moved it to the right place- thanks for the feedback mean or otherwise. adjusting to a different place is hard.

is this even worth contesting? i’m originally from alaska and i had no clue it had to be in a specific place. i’ve been pulled over before and it’s never been a problem. i don’t know if anyone else has has this problem before

Quick thing up front: I don't work for any of these shows, I'm not paid by any of them to promote them, I'm not a vendor and I'm not a reseller. I'm a lifelong card collector who got tired of piecing this together every month, and figured other people probably were too.

I keep a calendar of card shows in Western NY because working it out from six different Facebook pages is genuinely annoying. Here's what's coming up on your side of the state. I checked all of these against the organizers directly this week.

I've tagged each one so you know what you're walking into. Where I say "Pokémon too," that's because the organizer told me or the show bills itself that way — not a guess. Where it says "not advertised," it means exactly that: the listing doesn't mention Pokémon, so bring expectations accordingly.

Sun Sep 6 — Buffalo Prime Time Sports Card Show — SPORTS, POKÉMON NOT ADVERTISED
M Hotel, 2040 Walden Ave, Buffalo · 9:30am–4pm · $5, under 12 free

Sat Sep 12 — Buffalo Sports Card Convention — SPORTS + POKÉMON
Polish Falcons Club, 445 Columbia Ave, Depew · 9:30am–2:30pm · FREE
The organizer told me directly it's TCG and sports side by side.
Heads up: some listing sites still say Sep 5 and $2. That was the schedule they published back in January. He moved it to the 12th and made it free — his own flyer went up this week.

Sat Sep 12 — Northtowns Card & Memorabilia Show — SPORTS + POKÉMON
American Legion, 6525 Ward Rd, Sanborn · 10am–3pm · Free
Updated from this thread — thanks to u/Criddlers, who's been and says it's very Pokémon heavy. The site now says so too.

Sat Sep 19 — Niagara Vault Expo — SPORTS + POKÉMON
St. Leo Church Bingo Hall, 2748 Military Rd, Niagara Falls · 8:30am–2pm · Free
60+ tables of sports and Pokémon/TCG.

Sun Sep 20 — Cold Front Cards Show — SPORTS + POKÉMON

Sat Sep 26 & Sun Sep 27 — Excalibur Events: Niagara Falls Premodern/Pauper Weekend — MAGIC TOURNAMENT, NOT A SHOW
Niagara Falls Convention Center · Premodern $10k and Pauper mains, Legacy $5k on the Sunday
Vendors on site include Card Garden and Rochester CCG. Worth being clear that this is a tournament with a vendor area rather than a walk-in card show — entry fees apply to play, and I don't know whether you can browse the vendors without registering. Thanks to u/gitortuga for flagging it.

Sun Oct 4 — Collectibles at the Locks — SPORTS + POKÉMON
Three Ws TCG & More, 54 Pine St, Lockport · 11am–4pm · Free
Hosted inside a TCG shop that deals Japanese and English Pokémon.

Sat Oct 10 & Sun Oct 11 — Buffalo Prime Time Fall Sports & TCG Show — SPORTS + POKÉMON
Kiernan Rec Center, Niagara University · Sat 10am–5pm, Sun 10am–3pm · $5, under 12 free
TCG is in the show's billed title.

A bit further out, since a few of these are worth planning around:

Northtowns, American Legion, Sanborn · 10am–3pm · Free — SPORTS + POKÉMON
Professor Sam's Card Show, Pallet Town Poke Shop, Depew · 10am–4pm · Free — POKÉMON SHOW

Sat Oct 24 & Sun Oct 25 — The Ultimate Collectibles Show — SPORTS + POKÉMON
McKinley Mall, Blasdell · 11am–5pm · Free. Two full days, the biggest one on this list.
The organizer called it a combo show: sports cards, Pokémon and other TCGs.

Fri Nov 13 – Sun Nov 15 — Buffalo Trading Card Con — POKÉMON & TCG SHOW
The Powerhouse, Buffalo · $5, cash only. Three days. Pokémon, Magic, One Piece, plus video games and comics.

Two notes since I've been asked both before: bring cash, and the free ones are free to walk in, not free to set up a table.

RUNNING A SHOW, OR SPOTTED A MISTAKE?
Email me at garbagerips585@gmail.com — show name, date and times, venue and address, admission and table cost, and a flyer if you have one. I'll add it. Same address if I've got a date wrong or tagged a show wrong.

The site is mine and I maintain it myself. No ads, nothing for sale, no affiliate links on it. I'm in Rochester, NY and film pack openings, which is how I ended up caring about this enough to keep a list.

Keep the corrections coming — two shows in this list are more accurate than they were this morning because of people in this thread.

Events discussing the Scajaquada Restoration Plan (yes there is one), a clean up, walking tours, and a bike tour.

TLDR; I need a good MS Neurologist who will answer the phone

We have been struggling to find a good neurologist for my wife's MS after her original one retired. She went to an independent neurologist after who was very dismissive and uncaring. After that we tried for to get into UBMD for months, but they "kept losing the faxes", literally three times.

Finally, she gave in and went to DENT because they have a new doctor. The new doctor is great and super helpful, however, it is impossible to get back in contact with anyone there outside of the appointment time.

They were supposed to send a prior auth for an MRI months ago and never did. My wife ended up going to the ER last week because of new symptoms, and the ER refused to do an MRI because it was too busy and said ask the neurologist. The neurologist said she can "attempt" to move up the MRI from December, but there was never even one scheduled because they never did the prior authorization.

Now, it's been days of leaving voicemails and portal messages and no one answers. Even my insurance company tried to contact them and no one will reply. This should be illegal.

One of my favorite sidewalk pieces is destroyed.

Looking to see who goes where and what Drs you all recommend. Is it just me or has the care for our pets just gone under? Or are ALL vet offices that inundated? Appts are days away when you call and I feel like if you need anything sort of urgent you’re stuck going to an ER so what is the point of a regular vet if you can’t get in!?

I have a Subaru Impreza that has some scratches and dents I'd like to fix without going crazy. Thanks in advance. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

does anybody have any photos of the wonderbread factory when it was abandoned but not destroyed?? i feel its impossible to find photos from when it was recently abandoned. even to see photos of inside from when it was still operating is impossible i cant find anything. 😔

Hey everyone!

Long story short I’m looking to get the dbz toys from BK but don’t want to go and purchase 5 meals to do so….

Is there a BK hook up on here who can help me out? Willing to purchase the toys at the store but man I stopped eating fast food and don’t want to get back in that habit again.

Whoever finds this post, I appreciate you!

Hi all, I'm looking for a recommendation for a great sports PT. I'm currently dealing with a lingering shoulder injury from weightlifting. The PT my doc recommended seemed to deal mostly with more geriatric and basic things like walking and sitting up, not many sports injuries; I was the youngest patient by far in the office as a guy in his mid twenties. Likewise, the advice and exercises didn't seem to be what I was expecting. I was hoping someone here had a great experience with a PT knowledgable in sports/training with a younger clientele. I'm in the northtowns area, looking mainly for Amherst, tonawanda, or Cheektowaga but open to travel for someone really good. Thanks!

If anyone has an information about Family Promise shelter, I would appreciate it. I am getting placed there tomorrow and just want to know what it is like…

Hello! I've lived in Buffalo all my life and I am visiting some internet friends soon who have never been to New York at all. I was wondering what kinda gift stuff I can bring to show them a little bit of what Buffalo is all about!

My current list is Loganberry, Sahlen's Hot Dogs, and Weber's mustard. It doesn't have to be food, any suggestions are appreciated!

If you’re interested in attending a Period Workshop Date Night with your tween email ThePeriodPioneer@gmail.com for details!
Stay tuned for FREE workshops at an Erie County library near you.

Has anyone with a small business here advertised with Step Out Buffalo? Thoughts? Results? Worth it?

Hi all! My wife and I are planning on passing through Buffalo this weekend (Friday night) and we're looking for good places to car camp, preferably something more rustic/camp-y than car camping in a parking lot. We recently moved to a city and we've been missing nature sounds and stars. 've seen lots of suggestions for East Otto but it looks like their spots are pretty limited. We won't hit Buffalo until evening/night because we're beholden to 9-5 jobs before we can hit the road, so places that are first-come, first-serve might not work for us. Any ideas for car camping that has a reservation system? We're fine with paying so long as it's not over $60 for one night. Thanks in advance!!!

Anyone see this idiot with Texas plates cut in front of cars at red lights and go thru them today? Black SUV. West side, close to East.

I was at a light going to turn left but I could not turn due to cars heading up and an ambulance behind me. So he cuts in front of me and turns left somehow. I ended up right behind him. Then he cuts in front of two others at red lights. WTF

Ryan and the local news has mentioned a couple times that all city union contracts expired in July and the city is going to start negotiations soon if they haven’t already to renew contracts.

I’m just curious what you would like to see in the new contrac/contracts? I’m assuming wage increases would be number one since looking at the jobs page it looks like most jobs working for the city start off pretty low salary rise and even the top wage seems like it’s below private sector salaries and even lower than county and some other counties in WNY for similar job specs.
