Meet Erik Westfield, the public face of Buff-a-logo, a rising local brand that’s becoming a household name in Western New York. Erik and Robbie Grabowski started Buff-a-logo with a few product designs, a t-shirt press in a basement, and big dreams. Now, they operate out of their headquarters—a large warehouse on Main Street in North Tonawanda—offering a wide range of services, from logo design and screen printing to embroidery, web design, and online fulfillment.

Erik shares the story of their growth and how Buff-a-logo's unique products, like their locally viral broken table ornament and 'Local Legend' apparel series, as well as their collaborative approach, have caught the attention of Buffalonians near and far. They've also partnered with many well-known brands such as Zoom Buffalo, Bleached by Abigale, Squeeze Juicery, Spot Coffee, West Herr, Macy’s Place, Duffs Famous Wings, and so many more. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at how Buff-a-logo is bringing creativity and community together to create products that celebrate Buffalo.

Erik explores the rich history and quirky stories behind one of the city's most iconic landmarks—Buffalo City Hall. Completed in 1931, this Art Deco masterpiece stands tall as a symbol of Buffalo’s industrial past and civic pride. From its intricate architectural details to its panoramic views, Buffalo City Hall is more than just a government building—it’s a piece of living history.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• The Construction: Learn about how Buffalo City Hall came to be during the economic crash of the late 1920s and how the city pushed forward with its monumental construction.
• Art Deco Design: Explore the incredible design elements, including limestone carvings, terracotta accents, and a copper roof that has developed a green patina over the years.
• The Cannon Test: Yes, you read that right—a cannon was fired inside City Hall to test the fire alarms. We dive into the full story of how and why this bizarre method was used.
• The Observation Deck: Get an audio tour of the observation deck on the 28th floor, where you can see breathtaking views of Buffalo, Lake Erie, Niagara Falls, and even Canada.
• Current Use & Hidden Gems: Discover how Buffalo City Hall is used today, including fun facts, such as the time capsule buried beneath it, and why it remains a must-see spot for both tourists and locals.

Fun Facts:

• Did you know Buffalo City Hall has over 1,500 windows?
• There’s a time capsule sealed under the cornerstone of City Hall, set to be opened in 2131.
