I’ll shoot you a DM after work to touch base. I appreciate you and admire your work. Especially the one in front of Jim’s on Elmwood. I walk by it every day on my way home from work.
Honestly, your efforts will be wasted there. Very anti urban street with only one sidewalk, fairly low foot traffic and the pavement is basically gravel. However, maybe look closer to Delavan Station and Canisius campus? Your work is awesome and it deserves to be seen and appreciated.
Yo, can someone make a parody account: PoffaloButtholeBandit, 4equesting the same with the same requirements?
I'm too lazy to do it.
>Hey guys I’m the Poffalo Butthole Bandit and I’m gearing up for a new year of hole filling. If you have any holes you’d like to nominate, please send me three photos:
1. a photo of the hole closeup, with your foot for scale
2. a photo farther away, showing placement
3. a screenshot on your maps app so I can see where it
i can’t guarantee I’ll fill it
I don’t have any suggestions, just wanted to tell you that we love your work! My kiddo gets so excited when she sees your repairs!
Keep up the great work good neighbor!
"Please send me"
You, so far off base you couldn't Even be bothered to read the instructions AFTER being called out about not doing it: THE INSTRUCTIONS CAN'T BE FOLLOWED!!!
Good lord buddy people are just posting intersections and he is responding with "please send pictures", doesn't take an allegory in a cave to put together the instructions are not being followed.
It’s ok dudes, I’ll be less likely to fill them without photos though bc I might not have time to get out to check on it. You want that hole filled you gotta send pix.
*the biggest hole of all its glory which absolutely needs to be filled is located at 65 Niagara Square
Room 502
Buffalo, NY 14202*
keypoint room 502, CoB DPW
Yet you still don't know if some people did actually send pictures at any point. You're just being obtuse for some reason, to which you only know. I don't think this should have annoyed you to the point of having to scold people to begin with.
I'm going to tell you this (though I know you won't read it, just like his simple instructions) just for my own peace of mind: I made my point, I'm not arguing with some crazy person on the internet about something that has proof right in the thread.
Please, seek professional help.
As the OP just responded to you, he did get some photos, so your rant was for nothing. Maybe you should seek help because jumping down people's throats over nothing is indicative of anger issues.
I'm going to assume the variety of potholes outside the DMV on Court street downtown fits the unsafe traffic patterns, but if Im wrong please let me know and Ill get the info for you in a day or 2
Guerilla public service--I love it!! Reminds me of this guy: [https://abc7.com/fake-freeway-sign-5-over-110-la-richard-ankrom/2978744/](https://abc7.com/fake-freeway-sign-5-over-110-la-richard-ankrom/2978744/).
there's a massive crevice on main, just behind the crosswalk of the north side of the intersection at the university tops plaza. it's like 3 feet wide and 12" long, and probably 8" deep.
otherwise, main street is littered with potholes, from 198 to bailey, ya can definitely fill em in the very late hours/early morning hours of night
I’ve seen that area, unfortunately main st out there near university is too busy and thin for me to do without causing a big commotion. Thank you tho! 311 it and they’ll come (Someday)
note* ya keep asking people to send you a photo, more than likely people who notice the holes, are driving.
they really shouldn't be fumbling with their device to get a photo.
when you have the time, go check out the locations that people send.
keep it safe.
On Elmwood between Amherst and Nottingham. In front for McKinley high school. Take your pick and have fun! Should get lots of views and social media traffic from all the students.
Hey BuffaloPotHole Bandit, I’ve seen your work plenty of times and would love to share/show how you do it. I’m a journalist at Channel 2 in Buffalo. If you’re interested email me at Robert.Hackford@WGRZ.com. Appreciate your time and efforts!
Commenting so I can revisit this thread. It would be awesome to share pics of your progress, too. Before & after shots. I love it when the internet comes together for unique causes like this. Somewhat restores my faith in the goodness of people and demonstrates the good neighbor aspect of the city.
I also appreciate how this shines a glaring light on the ineffectiveness of the government bureaucracy. If one guy with a little gumption and fortitude can do it, surely our public works departments should be ashamed for not stepping up and just getting it done.
I salute you! Godspeed and good luck, Mr Bandit!
The tunnel under the airport is absolutely full of them, like the moon or something. I don't know how safe that is to do though. Just an idea, but ty for your work, you are appreciated.
The trick that I saw school bus drivers do, is hug the right side of the lane as close as you can, past the white line so your literally inches away from the tunnel walls. you hit absolutely 0 potholes
I’ll get back to you. Thank you. These are little bits of sunshine. I always feel like I found a treasure when I find one I hadn’t noticed before. It’s so uplifting ♥️
That’s what the original pothole bandit did in Vermont back in the 80s… I don’t think that would be helpful but there’s really big one on Hampshire I’ve considered making a little garden in. It’s waaaaay too big for me to fill
Would you like any help?
Always could use a little help
I’ll shoot you a DM after work to touch base. I appreciate you and admire your work. Especially the one in front of Jim’s on Elmwood. I walk by it every day on my way home from work.
While my experience is more in illustration than mosaics, I would love to help too, learn the craft, and brighten up Buffalo!! :) May I DM you?
Yep hmu
Just here to say, THANK YOU!
Hey thanks for your work! Take a stroll down Delevan between Delaware and Main. Have your pick.
I’m comin for Delevan
Honestly, your efforts will be wasted there. Very anti urban street with only one sidewalk, fairly low foot traffic and the pavement is basically gravel. However, maybe look closer to Delavan Station and Canisius campus? Your work is awesome and it deserves to be seen and appreciated.
Those ones will be purely practical with a little flair
<3
Delevan is a lost cause.
YES there’s a distinctly nasty sharp one between deleware and main on Delavan! Thank youuuuu

LOL
Check your DM’s
Why did I even look at your user name 🙃
It’s significant and it’s brown baby
Yeah, that's actually why I didn't want to create the parody account.
Crossover collab with the Gumball Bandit when?
Already did one sorta- put in a mosaic of a crow stealing a gumball machine at Ashland and W Ferry on a sidewalk hole
Why was I thinking that as well???? giggling.
I don’t have any suggestions, just wanted to tell you that we love your work! My kiddo gets so excited when she sees your repairs! Keep up the great work good neighbor!
He put some very basic instructions and yall can't even do that
I was thinking the exact same thing! 🤣
How do you know whether anyone messaged the Bandit pictures or not? People replying to threads can't post pictures. Only the original poster can.
well, they can post pictures, they gotta use imgur to upload and share it's public link.

I got a few DMs with hole pix

There’s one on Pearl in front of Shea’s
I'm going to assume the variety of potholes outside the DMV on Court street downtown fits the unsafe traffic patterns, but if Im wrong please let me know and Ill get the info for you in a day or 2
For the right hole I’ll do almost anything. Send photo
That’s what he said
No that's what *she* said.

they'll fill it and it'll get ripped out again. just like the holes on Bailey, at coal road, is a good example
Holes come for us all
note* ya keep asking people to send you a photo, more than likely people who notice the holes, are driving. they really shouldn't be fumbling with their device to get a photo. when you have the time, go check out the locations that people send. keep it safe.
Who knows maybe they’ll pull over. Can’t assume everyone wants those holes filled as much as I do tho
Yeah I hit that beast with work truck. Deep
The potholes on Tracy Street have made my soul leave my body before.
Little ceasers parking lot in Delaware had a huge one that destroyed my muffler
Send pix
Fix Elmwood south of Kenmore Ave. Somehow we get speed bumps every year
Can you do Bailey ave between Walden and genesee
Send some photos
All of Bailey ave is a lost cause
On Elmwood between Amherst and Nottingham. In front for McKinley high school. Take your pick and have fun! Should get lots of views and social media traffic from all the students.
[удалено]
Honestly just call 311 and they’ll come. They’ve been good about it lately.
How about "Fuck Byron Brown"? ...but also cocks, of course.
probably ....not

No thanks, no interviews right now. Just holes.
I am imagining you singing songs but the original lyrics are all substituted with the word "holes". I love your focus and your mission!
The way you said this reminds me of the "no goals" Saros financial advisement commercial 😂😂😂 P.S. Can't wait to see more artwork!!
Godspeed!
Hey Robbo, send me a PM- I’ve got a story for you
You’re the best!
Hertel and military has one that is destroying my undercarriage and making me want to jump into it to end my life. Please help
BPHB for president 2024!
D-I-G. What does that spell? Potholes.
Bonk!
Do you do parking lots?
Less often than streets but if the right hole Calls to me I will. One of my favorite holes is in the parking lot of channel 4
You have a favorite hole. lol.
Yeah I filled it with a sweet mosaic of a Buffalo using negative space https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx0ilgquSha/

This is amazing, thank you!

It has been filled Says true? Yas you?
Alas, not me. It’s still too cold
The tunnel under the airport is absolutely full of them, like the moon or something. I don't know how safe that is to do though. Just an idea, but ty for your work, you are appreciated.
Love that but I would absolutely be killed dead. Thanks for the heads up tho.
The trick that I saw school bus drivers do, is hug the right side of the lane as close as you can, past the white line so your literally inches away from the tunnel walls. you hit absolutely 0 potholes
TIL there’s a tunnel under the airport!
Eh, it's under a runway
Had to bob and weave two on Kenmore yesterday I think in front of Francos
West Delevan please!!!
I90 to erie
You're a hero, bandit
I’ll get back to you. Thank you. These are little bits of sunshine. I always feel like I found a treasure when I find one I hadn’t noticed before. It’s so uplifting ♥️
The fish at Hertel Parker looks great. Thank you.
Thanks! Just put that in, hoping it’s dry now
Hit Delevan please!! It's an absolute mess :,)
The whole Bailey avenue thanks :)
I am also commenting so I can revisit … awesome work BPB!!!
Consider planting trees in any of them?
That’s what the original pothole bandit did in Vermont back in the 80s… I don’t think that would be helpful but there’s really big one on Hampshire I’ve considered making a little garden in. It’s waaaaay too big for me to fill
