South Buffalo & Southtowns Online will be bringing readers a number of shopping sections for the holidays, beginning November 1st. We will be advertising local retailers, artists, restaurants and services located in the South Buffalo, West Seneca, Lackawanna and nearby areas. We will also be offering a section specifically dedicated to allowing shoppers to shop online from the comfort of home.
Our goal is to encourage doing business in our neighborhoods whenever possible so we'll be spotlighting nearby businesses offering holiday sales and specials. You'll find these sections under the "SHOPPING & SALES " heading at the top left of the menu bar.
Recent economic turns have made advertising difficult for small businesses on an already tight budget so we've designed packages that will allow any interested business to advertise this holiday season. We believe this will work to help retailers and shoppers alike.

GREAT GIFT IDEA - THE ORIGINAL "BUFFALO HAT" - MADE IN THE USA!
The “Best Ever Buffalo Project” aims to show the world how awesome Buffalo is. The Buffalo Hats are the first of many symbols that bring a little Hollywood flair to the Spirit of Buffalo. Carey Bennett, costume designer for 2 current hit TV shows (The Office, and SCRUBS), has created these hats to celebrate her husband Kevin’s enduring pride in his home town.
They were originally made as gifts for his family, but popular demand has called for making them for all proud Western New Yorkers and Buffalo lovers everywhere.
Handmade in the USA, they are comfortable, warm and have a unique attitude. They can be adjusted or styled to express the individual by changing the horns (colors, angles, etc...) or completely removing them (they snap on and off). Wear them while supporting your favorite sports team (ie: Bills, Sabres, you name it), having fun in the snow or just showing your “lighter” side.
What better way to show your “Buffalo Swagger” than to don the symbol of the Best Town Ever!
