REMEMBERING TOMMY: 'Giants of Buffalo' pays tribute to renowned Falls musician
If Niagara Falls was a person instead of a city, it would likely be a guy just like Tommy Tedesco.
The city personified would be a wildly irreverent, deeply loving of family, forever loyal to friends, with a penchant for gambling that might make a man late to his own wedding and an international reputation that doesn’t begin to touch upon the real character and richness within.
Pretty much like friends and family describe Tedesco.

BABY WHISPERER: Niagara Falls photographer specializes in newborn shots
Andrea Costrino is very patient.
She has to be. Her little clients don’t often do what she hopes they’ll do. So, she’ll pat their backs, whisper in their ears and wait as long as it takes for them to settle into sleep.
“If I have to wait for 20 minutes, I wait for 20 minutes,” she explained during a recent photo shoot. -

Chelsea goes to Washington
Three years ago, I never envisioned myself as an advocate for an incurable disease. I did not envision battling the disease, myself. Nor did I ever imagine it being a serious and disabling form of arthritis. I was no longer the invincible teenager living a care free and healthy life; I had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 17.

SIGHT TO SOUND: Celebrating Al Ligammari' 40 years of creativity
It used to be his eyes were the tools of his artistic expression. When Al Ligamarri was a hotshot young photographer, a picture of cool from his knee high boots to his shoulder length curly hair, all his artwork was birthed by what his eyes could see as he shot portraits of local rock bands and clicked photos of beauty queens. These days, the art he creates require his ears be his principal tools. And for that, he is infinitely grateful. These days, the art he creates require his ears be his principal tools.

Asparagus and the grill, a match made for spring
My asparagus convalescence - from a childhood spent eating the mushy, canned stuff - began late in my adolescence, when my mother boiled fresh spears, then napped them with homemade hollandaise.

JOYRIDE: Can vulnerability be key to happiness?
There is a monster in my sight these days and I am working hard to vanquish it, stabbing away with my swords of optimism and reason. It is, however, putting up a powerful fight.
The monster that threatens my peacefulness is something that Americans don’t like to talk about much — but it’s something each of us must deal with. Our lives depend on our ability to do it well. I’m talking about looking into a future that holds weakness and vulnerability, the kind that crushed my father and now seems to be threatening my agile, full-of-attitude, 83-year-old mother. I’m talking about getting old.
