Unless a last-minute fundraising extravaganza succeeds, Holy Angels Academy will soon be closing, as have so many sturdy Buffalo institutions created for children.

Cheech and Chong were onstage in Los Angeles last week at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, introducing their longtime producer Lou Adler. Stick around long enough and it’s the kind of gig you get. As Chong puts it by phone from California, “I’ve started getting them from High Times—I think I’ve got three lifetime achievements from them. They think of excuses to give you an award so you’ll show up and they don’t have to pay you.”

On a gray day in Buffalo, four graffiti artists arrive at an abandoned warehouse somewhere within the city limits. If you saw them walking down the street with their bags of painting supplies, you probably wouldn’t tag them as graffiti artists; you might think they were in a local grunge band or on a beer league softball team.

In March, twin sisters Louise and Martine Fokkens, 70, announced their joint retirement after more than 50 years each on the job—as Amsterdam prostitutes. (In February, the minimum age for prostitutes in the Netherlands was raised to 21, but there is no maximum.) The twins estimated they had 355,000 client-visits between them, and Martine noted that she still has one devoted regular who she’ll have to disappoint.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Imagine you’re in a large room full of costumes. It’s like a masquerade store at Halloween plus a storage area where a theater troupe keeps the apparel its actors use to stage a wide variety of historical plays. You have free reign here.

Take a look at Pittsburgh for some inspiration. Much like Buffalo, Pittsburgh is a city that has seen better times. However, unlike Buffalo, Pittsburgh has rejuvenated its waterfront and created several active community areas to attract its residents and tourists. Buffalo is not ever going to be a Los Angeles or an Orlando, but that’s the reason so many people love it here.
