Dumb Thing 1 – Optional Borders
Google shows the red shaded area below as “Williamsville, NY” but places miles outside of this area claim “Williamsville” name in their address.
Borders exist for a reason, dude.
Dumb Thing 2 – Changing Street Names
We all love how “Wehrle” kind of veers right but it also kind of turns into “Garrison”… then “Garrison” turns into “Evans”… which then, of course, promptly turns into “Hopkins.” And we also enjoy how “South Union” is just North of plain old “Union” Road. One can only assume these were set up to intentionally confuse drivers and keep non-residents out of their precious little Williamsville.
Dumb Thing 3 – This Tennis Shop
Well OF COURSE there’s a tennis shop in the middle of Williamsville. More like Dorkville… AMIRIGHT? And what’s with the giant racquet in the window?
Dumb Thing 4 – The Eastern Hills Mall
How a mall situated between some of Buffalo’s most affluent suburbs has become little more than a mall-walking venue is a complete mystery. Maybe because it’s a glorified flea market?
Dumb Thing 5 – Your Cul-de-Sac McMansion
You spent years slaving under a boss you didn’t respect, stocking away every penny you could, aspiring to one day live the dream in the quaint 14221.
It must have been rough when you discovered that the only people impressed by your Williamsville address already have one of their own.
The rest of us think of you as sheep.
Bonus Dumb Thing – Karma, Bitch
Court is the worst place to sell them.
This Williamsville jeweler was arrested for selling fake diamonds to a bunch of FAKE PEOPLE to wear around their FAKE VILLAGE and show off to all their FAKE FRIENDS. And don’t get me started on the only dumbass pet store in the civilized world still housing boxes full of puppies.
The dumbest thing in Buffalo that I can see is the author of this absolutely pointless article. Did you really spend moments of your life writing this heap of garbage? Whats even worse is that I spent moments of my existence reading it.
YO HOMEY, You juss done it neeeow!! Y’all awoke THA WILLIAMSVYLLYNZ!! We the realest rap group to ever come out of THA ‘221 HOMEY!!! Yo we over here sippin on that PINOT NOIR, all up on that PINOT GREEJEYO! Y’all better reckonize!
The “Williamsville” name addresses outside the village are so your mail gets properly routed to the Williamsville Post Office, it’s not people claiming they live in the village.
The Eastern Hills Mall is actually coming along as well. The addition of
Duffs is a plus, and they always have great movies playing at the
Dipson Theatre that you can’t see at any of the Regals or AMC theaters.

You are one angry individual. That’s the suburbs. A preference of many people as a way to live. There’s nothing wrong with it. Just a choice. Settle down and be more accepting.
I tried to find anything funny or sarcastic…and just found anger. Pure garbage.
The dumbest thing about buffalo is the author wrote this stupid article exists… So pointless. This is full of ignorance. Not entertaining at all.
Lay off JB’s – It’s a locally owned small business that has succeeded in a region with a declining population and an era of omnipresence of internet competition. Despite those pressures, it’s one of the few stores you can shop at that still provide customer service like the “old days.”
This article reads like the musings of a lazy blogger relying on snark rather than talent to generate website content. 5 Dumbest Things on Trending Buffalo: 1. Randall Stevens, 2. Randall Stevens, 3. Randall Stevens, 4. Randall Stevens, 5. Randall Stevens.
Wow, this is what passes for “journalism” these days? Keep writing articles like this and you’ll never be able to afford to live in a place like Williamsville
Really are you kidding me??! List yourself as one of the dumbest things. Is this really all you have to gripe about? Eastern hills mall is doing well, Williamsville is the post office and who cares that a tennis shop is in Williamsville, they can set up wherever they want. And btw get your directions correct before you shoot your mouth about street names Evans and Hopkins are flipped in the pic. Bitch about something meaningful and worthwhile
I think this is funny. It’s meant to be tongue in cheek and “ironic” so to speak.
What a ridiculous article.
justanothermotherhere You should probably look up the definitions of the words you are using before you defend this garbage with them. Funny?
I guess I’m the “fake” asshole for getting ripped off when I went to a local business (Paul Blarr) for what I thought was a conflict-free Canadian diamond engagement ring. I was nearly broke at the time. The stone wasn’t big, but it was what I could afford and I wanted to do something nice for someone I love while supporting local business. I guess that makes me fake.
We’re all entitled to our own opinions, right? 🙂 I’m not even from Williamsville (south towns chick) but it is kinda funny. The defensive demeanor of its habitants is quite great. Just chill out!
heatha716 These aren’t just opinions, they are cheap shots at people and local businesses. Garbage. All of it.
1. U jelly. 2. This could have been funny, if you were funny.
wow who ever wrote this article is dumb they have the “evans” arrow pointed down hopkins in #2….. before you call someone or something dumb why don’t you check yourself first!
P.S. maybe there is a tennis shop because the Village Glen Tennis Club is located around the corner on mill street… this is honestly a very poor article.
There is a Williamsville school district but there are no public schools in Williamsville.
Why does a tiny village need two kiddie wading pools? One on Garrison and the other on the island in the park.
There is castle hidden on an island.
