Mark Goldman's City on the Edge: Buffalo, New York tracks the history of the titular city from the Pan-American Exposition and arrival of Lackawanna Steel Company at the dawn of the twentieth century through the early twenty-first century and the blizzard of 2006. Of the city's history he argues, "Like so many other like-minded people, I was becoming increasingly frustrated and disappointed by public officials who, distracted by the lure of big-money, 'silver-bullet' projects, failed to recognize the incredible power that local people working on small, local projects can have on the life of a community" (pg. 11). Indeed, several of his chapters compare some public initiative against the everyday struggles of people living in Buffalo to get by. While the level of detail in this book and its use of local geography will make it appeal mostly to those in or from Buffalo, Goldman's chapters (complete with notes at the end) would work well as readings for teaching an upper-level high school or college freshman class. The city of Buffalo and Goldman's examples work well as a case study for twentieth-century American politics.… (mehr)

Time-traveling survivors.

This is what television should be. Granted, I could do without the whole 10% of the show spent waiting for a character's name to be revealed thing, and I was pretty disappointed when A Certain Character didn't end up dying after all at the end of the finale, but whatever. Easily the best season so far.

History of Buffalo from the Pan-American Exposition in 1901 through the October blizzard of 2006. I'm still not sure I was interested in this many details, but overall I found the book compelling. Buffalo was once the shit, and now there are just small pockets of awesomeness. Depressing when you take into consideration the amazing location of the city. Wishing I lived in the Buffalo of another era.
