Kid's Day at Buffalo News






Kid's Day is the time when people risk their lives standing in busy intersections to sell the Buffalo News. My favorite Kid's Day memory involves former South District councilmember Mary Martino. A friend of mine was volunteering in 2001 selling newspapers. Martino waddled out of her car, took a quick snapshot holding up a paper, and then waddled back into her car. Class act. It took a few years for people to catch on to her pathetic act but at least most normal people did catch on.






This cavewoman cared so much about the city that she couldn't wait to move to Angola, NY soon after she lost to Griffin. She went to Brian Higgins and company and landed a job with the United Way. Whenever they call and ask for a donation, I tell them sure, as soon as you stop hiring chain-smoking political rejects.

  1. Yeah, she definately was the sleaziest politician ever to come out of South Buffalo. I don't know how she slept at night. I dislike very few people, but I went to a Council Meeting for Hickory Woods years ago & was shocked when she walked out of the meeting to get something to eat...while the people were talking! There's a special place in hell for people like her.

  2. Hey Mike looks like the conditions in South Buffalo have really improved without her in office. Your a joke for writing this and have some pretty nonfactual content.

  3. She was terrible. What kind of a person does this? She moved from S Bflo because most people caught on to her phony act.

  4. By the way, I noticed you logged on from Angola, NY. What made you decide to leave South Buffalo?
