Antwerp, Belgium
I haven’t written much about the Central Terminal lately. Amanda and I missed the end of the season with moving and now it’s the off season and there’s not much going on at the moment. However, an important story was published in the Buffalo News today and posted on the CTRC site: Buffalo graffiti vandal…
Congressman Brian Higgins today repeated his call for the Skyway to be torn down and replaced, and every news outlet ran with it like it was major news. It’s been four years since I’ve written on the topic, but the claims that Higgins made today seemed to me to be more over the top than…
As some of you may know Derek and I embarked on a whirlwind tour of Europe, thanks to him having to go with work, back in March. Everyone has been asking how it went, what our favorite places were, etc. so over the next few days (baby allowing) I am going to write about the…
I’ve gotten out of the habit of cross posting all the stuff I post over at Buffalo Central Terminal on here, but this one deserves a special callout. In case you’ve missed it, SyFy’s Ghost Hunters will be broadcasting live for six hours from the Terminal on Halloween night. Whether or not you believe in…
Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
