Eastside

Mayor Byron Brown’s administration is on a mission to tear down (demolish) dilapidated houses and buildings that are privately and publicly owned. There have been at least 5,700 buildings brought down over the last decade or so and there have been mixed feelings on what is happening to these structures on the Eastside.

TO SNITCH OR NOT TO SNITCH 10yr old Abdifatah Mohamud, who was beat to death by his mom's abusive husband, had told his friends & classmates about his stepfather's constant abuse, but none of the kids reported this to an adult! Why would these kids hear this boy's cry for help and not speak up?? Perhaps in fear of being labeled a "Snitch".

Buffalo firefighters continue to investigate a difficult 4 alarm fire they battled well into the evening. It all happened at Salerno Paint & Paper, 671 Wyoming Ave near Kensington ave, on the cities eastside. The call came in about 3:40pm, Tuesday afternoon. When firefighters arrived, they immediately called for a second alarm.
