• Commented on A Lost Delaware Park General Plan Has Been Found
  Is the drawing signed? Should dig out the quarry (The Ledges) and throw all the dirt back where it came from - the Scajaquada Expressway. For years I wondered why what looked like a bridge was at ground level (in...
• Commented on Buffalo Grain Elevator Illuminated in Lighting Demonstration
  A number of you have a similar comment, but adding evening boat tours and coordinating with music would be a fantastic attraction. I would like to add that I work down on waterfront, and the crowds down here this summer...
• Commented on Reports Show Casino a Raw Deal for Buffalo
  I never understood how our mayor's office could ''sell'' a chunk of our downtown to 'a nation' (for $1 dollar - if I recall) - then consider this sovereign territory. Could you imagine the mayor's office deciding to sell off...
• Commented on 20 Private Colleges Join Say Yes Buffalo Program, $17 million Raised to Date
  Why would the wealthy be more inclined to send their kids to public schools because of this program? Only those whose family income is less than $75,000 qualify....
• Commented on Work Underway on Newly-Listed Landmark
  Thanks ex-716, I did not know that. When I lived in Brooklyn, developers could take advantage of a tax credit (J-51 it was called, I think) and properties could go right to co-ops after renovation....
• Commented on Work Underway on Newly-Listed Landmark
  The location is fine, access to Main St. and Hertel, also not too far from Delaware Park. Adjacent Central Park neighborhood is beautiful. So what if it is not Elmwood Village? Elmwood Village was Elmwood Strip when I moved to...

  Beats me. Most brides drink straight from the bottle....
• Commented on On the Market: Richmond Methodist Episcopal Church
  I have been in this church, and yes the sanctuary is fantastic. However, if after all these years and all that money, if Alleyway couldn't make it work as a performance venue, why would anyone else want to try?...
• Commented on Creating More Waterfront Opportunities
  Wow. This brought back a memory for me. When I was a kid (1960's) I had a distant relative who owned a restaurant on the bay side in Ocean City, NJ. It was called ''Chris' Restaurant''...Anyway, he was a boat...
• Commented on New Units at 14 North Street Begin to Take Shape
  Have always loved this building, and like the reuse of the stained glass windows. Not a fan of the exposed ductwork though. Looks too industrial and a distraction across those wonderful window frames....
• Commented on New Tavern To Open On Allen Street
  Since Allen Street (named for Lewis Allen) was initially a path for his cattle, how about The Cattle Path? Or Cattle Path Bar & Grill (assuming he gets the permit for a grill, of course)....
• Commented on Common Council Items of Interest 4-3-12
  Recently? Sixteen years ago, just after we moved to Buffalo, I called my council rep to complain about signs placed all over the place, including medians of Bidwell Parkway and the Delaware S-curves, advertising junk for sale in the name...
• Commented on Disappointing, Revised Casino Plans Unveiled
  Interesting that in Buff News today, there is article in the business section about the financial implosion of the Foxwoods Casino in Ct. So let's go ahead and build one in Buffalo so we can all enjoy the same fate!...
• Commented on Disappointing, Revised Casino Plans Unveiled
  Thanks, Jhorn. I will reread the article. It is a complex mess, from what I recall much of the problem is based with poorly written legislation, the intent of which was to allow Native Americans to establish gambling on their...
• Commented on Disappointing, Revised Casino Plans Unveiled
  I never understood what legal right the city administration had to give a parcel of our city to an entity that considers itself a 'sovereign nation'. Now we have to live with this black hole....
• Commented on Road Trip St. Louis: What to do with a crappy old factory building.
  This is so fantastic! Well then, now we know what to do with the Trico Building. Maybe we could have a giant caged-in window wiper one could walk out on... Since I had often thought it would be fun to...
• Commented on Living the American Dream in Buffalo, New York
  Must agree with jtrzewitcowski above. While I love food and dining out, and am very pleased to read when the Buffalo dining scene gets much deserved praise...the above quote pretty much made me want to run for the cheez whiz:...
• Commented on Vince gets a Gold Medal on Rhode Island
  I was in this building some time ago. The third floor has great south and west exposure, especially with that row of Italianate windows across the front. Will Vince make it special enough to warrant 2K per month? I think...
• Commented on Vince gets a Gold Medal on Rhode Island
  Vince does excellent work. Look forward to watching the progress!...
• Commented on Let's cross that bridge now...
  ...and then there is the other egregious bridge insult in Delaware Park, where the earth and debris removed for the construction of the Scajaquada Expressway was dumped into the quarry (formerly in front of Parkside Lodge). It filled up the...

  Yikes, better off with the Urban Prairie. Also, please don't tell Cellino and Barnes about this, ok?...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  Take over the former Don Pablos on Elmwood. Existing building, acres of (mostly empty) parking, easy access from both downtown and suburbs, also to 190....
• Commented on Transforming a real city into a 'reality' city
  Not sure what part of this is fascinating, or even makes any sense (?), but if Kim Kardashian wants to hang with the Earl of Bud, what the hey. I do dig the candy cane fingernails and the bling -...
• Commented on The city needs a public indoor athletics complex
  Thanks! I will keep checking back and on their site as well! Maybe time that BRO does an updated profile on this venture?...
• Commented on The city needs a public indoor athletics complex
  M/ile location would work great for us. Is there any eta on when it might be available?...
• Commented on The city needs a public indoor athletics complex
  CK, thanks...will check out your site asap! That is interesting news. As for BuffaloQPublic, that sure is an interesting thought, although there are probably structural issues that would make that problematic. Maybe HSBC should be turned into, heck, I have...
• Commented on The city needs a public indoor athletics complex
  This has been such a huge need for so long (soccer, lacross, volleyball, just for starters). Last night I drove a car full of soccer players to Sahlens, snowing,white out conditions the whole way. Love Sahlen's, location not so much....
