  • Jacob Well i will have to say that i have had better exp with other heating guys. First of all when i called the guy last winter to look at my furnace i got a voice mail that stated to leave my number and the issue at hand and he would call me back with in 3 hours. Well after waiting and waiting i finnaly decided to call another contractor. Upon the arival of the other contractor, he decided to call me back. After i explained the issue to the guy he told me that i needed a whole new unit!!! Keep in mind he never came out to my house this is all over the phone. To make a long story short the "other" contractor fix the issue within 30 minutes and it cost me $50.00. Big difference then what i was quoted by this service. This is why i give Jamestown Heating a 1 star rating
  • Jacob When it comes to tires the only place i will go is to Dunn tire. The jamestown branch kicks it up a notch and delivers top lvl service. I was in and out in an hour. With in that time i had all 4 changed, new wiper blades installed, and ate three cookies!!! Not to mention the free coffee while you wait. One thing that stood out was the fact that i felt like a person not just a customer. Unlike many other chain tire stores i feel like i am working with family when i take m car to Dunn.
  • Jacob I am from Buffalo NY and I know pizza pies!!! So let me tell you Lenas is like a tast of home for me!!! Lens puts out wonderful pies tht are heaping with topping. The wings here are also SMOKING if you know what i meen. One bad thing i can say about them is that there is not enough seating room, and they dont deliver. But take my workd for it push all that aside, because the food and the service is GREAT. If you are i the area make sure to stop in and grab a bite. Tell them jakeman sent you.

City Spotlight

Buffalo

Located on Lake Erie, Buffalo NY is a popular destination for architecture buffs and urban explorers. The Art Deco Central Terminal, the Romanesque Richardson Complex and Art Deco City Hall are the most popular architectural tourism destinations. The City Hall observation deck on the 28th floor provides a view of Niagara Falls on clear days, and daily tours are free. The Buffalo Zoo, one of the oldest in the country, is located in Delaware Park. Directly across from the park's magnificent rose garden are the nationally renowned Albright Knox Art Gallery and the Buffalo Historical Museum.

Buffalo's scenic waterfront features miles of trails as well as the Naval and Military Park and museum. Visitors can even board the decommissioned USS Little Rock, USS The Sullivans, and the USS Croaker submarine. The recently opened boardwalk and wharf plaza on the Erie Canal Harbor is accessible 24 hours per day to stroll, jog, relax or just watch the ships go by.

Buffalo's claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of Buffalo wings, which were invented at the Anchor Bar on Main Street in 1964. Note that Buffalo natives simply ask for wings rather than Buffalo wings and order pop instead of soda. Wings, beef on weck and Friday fish fries, which can be found on almost every city block, are a true Buffalo experience. There are restaurants in Buffalo catering to every taste and budget, from corner pizzerias and upscale Asian restaurants to dozens of all-night souvlaki restaurants and diners. Just 20 minutes from Niagara Falls, Buffalo offers the excitement of a big city but with a small-town feel.

Buffalo comes alive at night on the Elmwood Strip, Chippewa Street and Hertel Avenue. The Elmwood Strip offers dozens of fun and funky boutiques, bookstores and tattoo parlors as well as bars and restaurants catering to the college and professional crowds. The colorful Chippewa district, located near the downtown Theater District and Convention Center, is filled with offbeat and eclectic nightclubs featuring local and national bands. Hertel Avenue is home to almost everything from corner taverns to upscale dining as well as block after block of antique stores, salons and trendy specialty shops. Closing time for Buffalo bars is 4:00 A.M. which should give club-hoppers plenty of time to try all the food and fun Buffalo has to offer.
