You won't believe what someone's selling for a buck fifteen!
So here's the deal, I'm not even kidding, a Picasso painting worth over a million dollars is being sold for just $116. A hundred and sixteen bucks. You could grab a couple of beef on wecks and still have change. This is for real, an actual Picasso. For some reason, someone decided that this masterpiece, which is probably older than half the buildings on Elmwood Avenue, should go for the price of a decent dinner at the Anchor Bar.
This just blows my mind, right? We're always talking about how you gotta work hard for everything in this city. You want a house in North Buffalo near Delaware Park? You save. You want to see the Bills win a Super Bowl? You suffer. But a Picasso? Just a hundred and sixteen dollars. That's less than a new Sabres jersey, and let's be honest, those jerseys haven't given us a million dollars worth of joy in a long time. It makes you think about what we value, and what's truly priceless.
* **What's the catch?** Probably a raffle or some kind of lottery system. No way it's just sitting on a table at the Broadway Market for that price. * **Imagine having this in your living room:** You'd have to put it in a safe, for sure. No way I'd hang a million-dollar painting next to my Jim Kelly poster. * **Local impact:** If someone in Buffalo wins this, oh for sure, the whole city's gonna know about it. We'd probably have a parade down Hertel Avenue.
This is the kind of stuff that just makes you shake your head and smile. Bills by a billion — and yeah, the city too.
