This is the small horse farm you see at Broadway and Borden

Owner told me the house is the same and one of the smaller buildings is still standing.

Your GTO refurbishing was an expensive hobby too, wasn't it?Quote:

The owner of the horse farm is very nice. Loves local history.
How long has the go-kart place been gone? I don't remember it so i'm thinking at least 80's. I remember a u-pick strawberry farm between Green Acres and Twin Village Recycling.
Did the strawberries glow in the dark?
The track has been closed since the 60's when the neighbors had it shut down.Quote:

I've walked the creek a few times. I don't think it would be wise to drink from it.
Very sad. The owner is very nice man. Just spoke with him a couple weeks ago when he dropped off the postcard

Please help!! In the early morning of September 20th a fire destroyed the entire barn located on Broadway in Depew. Which had 12 horses and 2 dogs trapped inside. All 14 of the animals passed away from the fire. Martin Snyder is completely broken and devastated. There are 7 more horses that need our help. (They were not inside the barn) Mr. Snyder does not have any insurance. So, we are looking for your help and support. If you can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated. The horses need food and a permanent shelter.
Help S&L Ranch rebuild from barn fire

In the middle of the night on Friday September 20th, our close friend Marty encountered every horseman’s nightmare, a barn fire. In the fire he lost a dozen horses and 2 dogs. He also lost all of the hay that he spent the summer bailing, and other feed for the horses remaining on the property. Please help us start a fund to purchase feed and necessities to get the remaining horses through the winter.
Strange to me that this went up the same night within an hour of Thai House. Arson for both maybe? I believe there was a third fire in West Seneca that night too.
No, each has a separate cause, just coincidenceQuote:
