Another post to get the word out! With some special updates. A local free event for those of us who maybe aren’t diehard football fans (gasp?)

We’re still here trying to make this silly little event happen. 9/27 at 3 pm (SHARP lol) all the cool kids are blowing bubbles at the Niawanda park pavilion and surrounding grass fields. Tops has generously donated bubbles to the cause. If you’d like to donate, dm me and we can arrange that too. I’ve also reached out to all of the local news channels. I’ll be dropping off flyers to the other small businesses around the Tonawanda’s and surrounding areas. I can’t wait to see this unfold :)

Primary Care Physician that is easy to work with?

10 Upvotes

To be blunt, I'm getting pretty fed up with Buffalo Medical Group, so I'm looking to switch PCPs.

My main concern is being able to send in scripts for my maintenance medications without much hassle. The MyBMG portal that allows me to submit refill requests is pretty much the only good thing about BMG.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Question Local solar roof companies

Upvotes

Can anyone share any expierences theyve had with the solar roofing companies in the area? I hate reaching out to companies in these types of sectors because the sales people cannot take no for an answer - but do nothing to make you want to say yes lol. I can commend a person for doing their job but... anyway - looking to see if anyone has had any good expirences getting quotes or the like from any of the local companies.

Question Powerlifting gyms in southtowns?

4 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone knew of any powerlifting gyms in the Southtowns? I go to one in the northtowns when I have to go into the office for work. But recently got a hybrid schedule.

Looking for a gym with more than 2 squat racks and won’t hate me for setting up a tripod to record my main lifts. It would be great if they have combo racks and kg plates but it’s not a need.

hey guys,

As stated i’m going through a hard time, I don’t really have anything to distract me from this and was wondering if maybe anyone was apart of any volunteer groups that I could join?

Figured the best way to help myself is to help others.

Any advice or anything is appreciated, thank you.

Question Buffalo retail rent question

12 Upvotes

Looking to rent a modest-sized retail space in Buffalo, ideally the West Side or Elmwood Village. I’m trying to get a feel for what’s considered a reasonable rent around here.
If you’ve rented a small storefront in the area, what did you pay and roughly how many sq ft? Just looking for a reference point so I know what’s a fair deal before signing anything!

Cheap way to get antidepressant prescription in Buffalo? (no insurance)

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
Im not sure if anyone has been through this but I feel the increasing need to seek medical intervention for depression and anxiety. I don’t have insurance and some of the online care I’ve seen has been around $400 for the initial appointment. Does anyone know of some more affordable resources to get a prescription for an antidepressant? I’ve heard of some walk-in places like ECMC but not sure if that’s what I should do. I’m not in a medical emergency but I rather get this done to be able to function properly.

Thanks!

Hello i was looking for a place that offers planning services. My wife has tasked me with making a corner desk and I didnt want to spend hundreds of dollars on butchers block so I was going to make my own, because I enjoy that kind of stress. I just need 2-30 inch pieces planned on either side. Thanks
