Cross in the Park

Leave a commentthis side article on Acropolis has me irritated- so rant I have to....I am so tired of preservationists, obstructionists and politicians, annoying old neighbors etc.....I dont know if anyone has had there eyes opened the past 50 years but what we have been doing hasnt worked....We are one of the poorest ciities annually in the country, publics schools suck;(which was just revealed by an outside consultant that we paid a ton of money); but already knew...Neighborhoods are struggling to keep commercial spots open because of out of touch owners, A-hole neighbors....When is someone going to tell Buffalo and all of their loud mouth politicians that what they have been doing doesnt work...
Finally after too many years of awfulness...I can only name 2 or 3 cities that seem to be suffering more than us...Finally there are a select few who are willing to put money into the city and turn a corner and we still have idiots blocking them...Maybe its time to let these people try and grow the city...Progree works...It may not look asthetically great sometimes but it works....Just ask all 200 other cities that are doing better economically than Buffalo...................
Let Savarino build his buffalo river condos, let Acropolis creat a Greek destination.., the list goes on....
It is so frustrating...And for the people that want to obstruct, make them responsible for something instead of their own loud mouths.....
In what way is the destruction of public park grounds a "sport"? Bicycles are meant for pavement, NOT for turning turf into mud. This is almost unbelievably selfish.
Campus WheelWorks donated $150 worth of grass seed last year to repair any torn up sections of grass. For the most part however, there is no real damage to the grass. The tire tracks do not go deep enough to damage the fibrous roots of the grass, so with a little rain and time, the muddied up grass will spring back to life without any help. We also work to avoid any tree roots, to protect the trees. Campus employees donated time to make sure that any left over tire tracks were flatted out after our race. We made sure to spend time picking up any trash, no matter how small. It is important to us that we respect our parks and make sure that we fix anything that is damaged so that Olmsted can properly take care of Delaware Park and so we can continue promoting cycling in the City of Buffalo. Our goal is to bring people into the City of Buffalo, to enjoy our parks and our race. We also encourage them to visit our shops and dine in our restaurants. Any further questions about our plans for environmental sustainability can be directed to: gwilder@campuswheelworks.com
Waaahh.
You must get really pissed at the destruction the Shakespeare stage setup causes.
Duh.
I happen to care about the condition of the parks; you obviously do not.
We all care about the condition of the park. However, your sentiments are uninformed.

Thanks for sharing BVulaj, I hope everyone involved takes the time to read the link you posted. Also, thanks to Campus WheelWorks for putting on another A+ event with the Buffalo community in mind.
No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent. ~William Ellery Channing, 1838
