In a recent conversation with my sister, we began discussing our trips out west to New Mexico to visit my mom s family.
The talk turned to restaurants we always enjoyed when we went out there, even though eating out was a rare occurrence. But that was only because my aunts and my step-grandmother were such awesome cooks who were always whipping up Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine that would knock your socks off.
But when we WOULD go out, Uncle Vic made it count.
There s a place in a tiny unincorporated town called Pinos Altos, just north of Silver City where my family lives. The restaurant is called Buckhorn and it is temporarily closed. But back in the day, it thrived and that was because, of course, the food was absolutely amazing. But the place had tons of history, being among the oldest restaurants in Grant County. So good.

(Elyria) - Police have arrested two 17-year-old boys in connection with the fire that started Wednesday night, gutting a huge, historic building on the north end of downtown Elyria.
Elyria Police say one of the boys was charged with aggravated arson, breaking and entering, and failure to report a crime. The other boy is charged with breaking and entering. Both are in the Lorain County Detention Home.
The building, which is said to date back to 1899, was most recently home of the Uncle Vic s and Mardi Gras nightclubs. The address is 11 Kerstetter Way, but the building filled an entire block, and abutted nearby railroad tracks.

“As a community organiser in New York City’s Manhattan Chinatown, I’ve had the privilege and joy of building relationships across generations. One of these relationships is with Uncle Vic, who basically adopted me as his Chinatown goddaughter from the moment we met.
It all started with me gushing to Uncle Vic about my dad’s records, which I had found hidden in my family’s home in California, just a few days before I had packed up to move to New York. From there, Uncle Vic told me about his grandfather’s record and tape collection that covers an entire wall in his apartment, most of which hadn’t been touched for d

As I’ve mentioned before, I grew up in Pittsburgh, so when Showtime premiered the first-ever network broadcast of a gay drama 20 years ago this month, based in Pittsburgh, my interest was naturally piqued.
I was disappointed, and in hindsight maybe tinged with jealousy, after watching the first few episodes in what seems like a lifetime ago. The show’s thumping, gay-central Liberty Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh was nothing like the thoroughfare I knew intimately, lined with office buildings and straight bars; more Wall Street than Christopher Street. I understood that the creators wanted to show that gay life could thrive in a smaller metropolis, in the Midwest, but I wasn’t buying that happening in Pittsburgh.
