Back before anybody knew that giving the New York Power Authority a new license could bring a couple of hundred million dollars for waterfront development, there was a pretty good consensus about what to do with the 120 acres of brownfield-spotted landfill that used to be the Port of Buffalo—namely, that we should ask New York State to make it a park.

There’s a movement afoot to redevelop the Outer Harbor into a park. Doing so would give Western New Yorkers a grand 120-acre playground in the summer—and a 120-acre wasteland in the winter, and a good part of the spring and fall, too.

About 3pm last Friday, Maria Neira, vice president of New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), reminded the more than 2,000 delegates at the union’s 40th representative assembly, gathered in the Buffalo-Niagara Convention Center, to be polite.

Although Audi’s naming system may not be very colorful, it’s to the point. The A3 is their smallest car line available in America, and the A8 the largest. That being said, I have to say that the A7, subject of this week’s review, is by far the best-looking Audi you can buy.

I’ll have you know that I bought Farther Away, a collection of 21 essays by Jonathan Franzen, the fervently celebrated and presidentially praised author of, among other works, Freedom (2010) and The Corrections (2001), before I intended to review it, and, of course, well before I realized that I would not be able to make myself like it.

Condo developer Larry Hall is already one-quarter sold out of the upscale doomsday units he is building in an abandoned underground Cold War-era Atlas-F missile silo near Salina, Kan. He told an Agence France-Presse reporter in April that his 14-story structure would house seven floors of apartments ($1 million to $2 million each, cash up front), with the rest devoted to dry food storage, filtered-water tanks and an indoor farm, which would raise fish and vegetables to sustain residents for five years.

Five coworkers and I decided to start buying lottery tickets once a week. We each put a dollar in a coffee can every Thursday and take turns picking up tickets. Everybody gets a random-draw ticket on Friday morning, and we joke about how—if one of us were to win Saturday night’s drawing—we wouldn’t be in to work on Monday. Or ever again, for that matter.
