ELIGIBLES
Spree put together its first list of WNY singles in 2007, and the hardest part was not finding them—it was trying to figure out who to profile, since there were so many fine choices. Now, two years later, we’re doing it again with a whole new crop of interesting folks. Here you’ll find leasing agents, financial advisors, poets, musicians, and everything in between. Plus, in a special Eligibles edition, our regular pubcrawl hits some local bars of note. Cool people, hip spots, and a great start to 2009. We’ll drink to that.
By Michelle A. Blackley, Ron Ehmke, Jana Eisenberg, Donna Evans-Deyermond, Cynnie Gaasch, Martha Gorman, Donna Hoke Kahwaty, Lisa Kane, Jessica Keltz, Jeffrey Levine, Ronald S. Montesano, Nancy J. Parisi, and Christopher Schobert.
