With a horn blast and a Coast Guard es**rt, the 130-passenger American Patriot left Buffalo after a two-day stay. The ship is heading back to Syracuse after docking in Buffalo on Thursday along the Buffalo River at the foot of Erie Street. https://www.buffalorising.com/2026/05/american-patriot-sets-sail

In a world of TVs and computers, Western New York Book Arts Center (WNYBAC) is bucking the digital trend with its ongoing dedication to the art of books, and the joy of reading. After a visit to the WNYBAC, a book will never quite look the same. https://www.buffalorising.com/2026/05/western-new-york-book-arts-centers-15th-annual-bookfest-members-show

Is God Is ★★★1/2 (out of 4 stars)

There Will Be Blood

Two 21-year-old sisters, wronged by their nameless father, set out on a mission commanded by their mother (who calls herself God) to wreak revenge by destroying him and everyone around him. In her road trip thriller, “Is God Is,” first-time feature film writer and director Aleshea Harris uses this seemingly straightforward plot line to explore the nature of vengeance.

Racine (Kara Young) is the action-oriented sister, and her badly scarred twin Anaia (Mallori Johnson) the reluctant one of the duo, each the alter ego of the other. https://www.buffalorising.com/2026/05/five-cent-cine-is-god-is

Buffalo’s bleak recent history of demolishing buildings first, and asking questions later, seems to be mainly behind us, thankfully. To think of what we’ve lost over the years is certainly disheartening. https://www.buffalorising.com/2026/05/city-of-buffalo-announces-stabilization-first-initiative

When I first heard that Mister Pizza was closing its doors on Elmwood, I was stunned. After all, it was the pizza that I grew up on.

After years, upon years, of seeing a vacant storefront at 500 Elmwood Avenue, a quality tenant has moved in. This retail location has been empty for so long, that I actually stopped thinking about it.

Supporters, fans, and believers of Buffalo’s LGBTQIA2S+ community will be happy to hear that the 2026 Buffalo Pride Parade is just one of many Pride Month events and activities set to take place throughout the region on Saturday, June 7. This year’s Pride Parade theme is “Rooted In Pride,” which, per usual, means that attendees should dress accordingly as they “root” on their favorite parade marchers and floats.

The Buffalo Pride Parade starts at the intersection of Elmwood Avenue and Forest Avenue at 11am.

In Buffalo, when we hear the word “crawl,” we typically think about a bar crawl, or a Santa crawl, which are certainly fun outings. That said, for those who are less concerned about drinking, and more interested in culture, there’s a new “crawl” in town.

Union Pacific’s legendary Big Boy No. 4014 – the world’s largest operating steam locomotive – is making a stopover to Buffalo as part of its coast‑to‑coast tour to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Regional railfans are already clamoring at the opportunity to see this massive 4-8-8-4 locomotive in person.
