I live in the city of Buffalo and have been saying for the longest time to radio shows and letters to the editor (which haven't gotten printed) that if smokers are infuriated, there should be an organized ban on buyuing state lottery tickets.

There was an attempted boycott of the Quick Draw in restaurants and bars. Didn't work very well.

Are people still trying to have Buffalo bars close at 2 AM to "improve the Buffalo economy"?

I graduated from Buff State in 1996. And the biggest and most immediate impact of a 2 AM bar closing would be an explosion of house parties starting at 1 AM and going till the sun came up.

Didn't know about the attempted Quick Draw boycott.. that's a shame. I know the bars that have it get a nice cut. My idea is to stop buying tickets altogether in stores and other locations.

As far as the 2am bar closings, yes - it's started up again recently. Sometimes I think that politicians in New York state and especially Buffalo just sit around thinking up ways to put people out of business here. Pretty soon we're going to be just like California, unfortunately.
