Even out the size of the columns on the Style page. About 40% for the clue, 25% for the answer, 15% for the extra info. And just go for "Lead singer of Goo Goo Dolls" for the clue on Rzeznik. Spelling his name is challenge enough. And use colors from the Queen City flag! Buffalo is gray enough already. ;)

You also might think about adding F. Scott Fitzgerald, David Boreanaz, Teddy Geiger, Christian Laettner, Chad Michael Murray, and Bob Lanier (basketball hall of famer, number is retired by Pistons and Bucks). Lucille Ball is from Jamestown, NY, which is about an hour from Buffalo.

If you can count Natalie Merchant, you can count Lucille Ball. I personally think you shouldn't use either.

I echo skudrafan1. If you are including Jamestown, Lucille Ball (and Roger Goodell?) should be there. Christian Laettner and Bob Lanier would be worth adding. Mark Twain could be a bonus answer?

Pat Kaleta Lucelle Ball both good ones. btw, it is possible that I may be related to Jaworski as a distant cousin.
