North Tonawanda — This is in response to the person who says there was a Jeffrey’s in the City of Tonawanda. The word is Zeffrey’s. It was an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. It was beautiful.

I was in McDonald’s on Meadow Drive on Feb. 28. While I was buying food, my 9-year-old grandson went to the bathroom and left his newly bought Sabres gloves in there.

People are just awful and it ruins my day.

I would like to know why I have to hear from friends across the seas that a man in England threatened to kill President Obama. The man was arrested and the papers in England covered it. But I would just like to know why news like this isn’t published in America?

I think the North Tonawanda school district should look into requiring school uniforms.
