LabattBlue Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 With memorial day weekend coming up in less than 3 weeks, what is everyone doing for the weekend & on memorial day? You have too much time on your hands. ;)
Mike Oxhurtz Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 You have too much time on your hands. ;) In the words of Detective Jack Kimble (from Kindergarten Cop): "Stop Whining!!!!" Considering the Briere post got hammered to death worse than Eight Belles, I figured it be nice to talk about something else. Seeing Pittsburgh & Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference Finals is depressing enough, so I figured why not talk about something that is fun for a change.

Whatever...before you know it this place will resemble twobillsdrive. PS I'll be planting flowers on memorial day weekend. That was fun. :doh:

That was fun. :doh: Sounds like tons of fun. I'm actually driving up with the kids to visit my parents in S. Buffalo for the weekend. A friend of mine is camping at Letchworth, so I'll be headed there as well. You're right, twobillsdrive forum is very out of place. Like I said, I'm just trying to change up the pace a little.
Mike Oxhurtz Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 Since Memorial Day is getting closer, what's everyone's plans?
That Aud Smell Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Since Memorial Day is getting closer, what's everyone's plans? family road trip to central/eastern penna -- there will be hoardes of young kin folk running amok and, at least for me and brothers in law, a correspondingly large consumption of beer and grilled foods.

Mike Oxhurtz Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 I'm driving up to Buffalo to visit family & friends. I plan on going to one of the few remaining drive-ins in the Buffalo area (probably the Transit Drive-in), plus do a little camping with some friends at Letchworth. I'm not sure if the Caz carnival is still going on, if it is, I'll take the kids there.
tom webster Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 My 7 soon to 8 thinks she is 21 year old daughter will be performing at Darien Lake so I will be spending the day in one of my least favorite places with my most favorite people.
BetweenThePipes00 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 My dad is coming down from Buffalo to finally meet his first grandson, who will be seven weeks old that weekend ... fortunately he sees him on webcam every couple days ... better than nothing ...

I still miss the recently departed Buffalo Drive-In, but Transit is a great place.
Bmwolf21 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Given the rising gas prices and our financial situation, probably not doing much here. Maybe a picnic at one of my wife's co-worker's house, nothing flashy.

I still miss the recently departed Buffalo Drive-In, but Transit is a great place. transit is the best of a vanishing breed around wny. my wife and i (drive-in amateurs, to be sure) still laugh about how we took our then pre-school aged first-born to transit to see nemo for her birthday -- several other families joined us. thing is, the birthday's in mind-june -- so it was nearly 10 by the time the feature started. it was resolved by all adults present that our next trip to the drive-in would be in august.
hopeleslyobvious Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 I'm taking the bullet train to Kyoto and Osaka.

I still miss the recently departed Buffalo Drive-In, but Transit is a great place. I went to the Buffalo Drive-in last year and saw Live Free or Die Hard. I miss the Buffalo Drive-In, and the Grandview Drive-In in Angola. I drove by the Buffalo Drive-in while we were in town in February and saw that everything was torn down except for the concession stand building, it was depressing to see that.
Hawerchuk Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Going to Vegas.... oh wait, I live here! Nevermind.

Ohiofan Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 Working. Working. Working. But only if the sun is shining.
evil_otto Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 I went to the Buffalo Drive-in last year and saw Live Free or Die Hard. I miss the Buffalo Drive-In, and the Grandview Drive-In in Angola. I drove by the Buffalo Drive-in while we were in town in February and saw that everything was torn down except for the concession stand building, it was depressing to see that. The thing about the Buffalo Drive-In, is that it was a great place to go to on the 4th of July to watch fireworks. It wasn't too busy, you could see fireworks from both the Cheektowaga town park and surrounding neighborhoods and see a movie at the same time. The added bonus was that you didn't have to deal with traffic after the fireworks were over. In regards to wny landmarks, when I was driving down to Allegany County yesterday, I noticed that Earl's restaurant has re-opened. So of course I needed to stop there for a piece of pie on my way back home today :). mmmm... pie.

tom webster Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Where is Earl's restaurant located at? Route 16, Chaffee,NY 14030
Mike Oxhurtz Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Posted May 19, 2008 Route 16, Chaffee,NY 14030 I haven't been through Rt. 16 in years, I'll have to drive that way on my way back to VA. Thanks!
Mike Oxhurtz Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 I hope everyone has a fun & safe holiday weekend.
