• Commented on Revised Delaware/Virginia Plans Under Scrutiny
  Where??? Let's see, there are the old favorites like Geico (2005, 2,900 employees) and Citi Group (2007, 250 employees). There are the new ones like FidelisCare (2010, 400 jobs), Yahoo (2011, 125 jobs). There are national restaurants like Cheesecake Factory,...

• Commented on Goldman, Others Sue to Block Bass Pro
  I would like the record to reflect that Blackrocklifer has posted a comment that didn't connect the article to the plight of the poor. It didn't blame the suburbs, the rich, or big business for all that is wrong with...
• Commented on Tired of those boring workouts?
  Only in Buffalo can you flip a large tire down a major west side street without running into traffic or pedestrians....
• Commented on What's so bad about Sprawl?: Ask Jeff Brouws
  Keep telling yourself that you are anti-sprawl and not anti-suburb. You seem to have a serious axe to grind with anyone who lives outside the city limits. What is the deal Steel? You couldn't handle the prostitute joke, care to...

• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  Of course, he loves to challenge others but turns straight b**tch when proven that he is wrong. It would be great if he could just man up and admit that he was wrong and overreacted....
• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  Sorry JohnMarko, you should probably read the thread before coming to the defense of your friend. It was just a simple little joke that Steel blew out of proportion. I understand how over sensitive you and Steel are when it...

• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  Danielle, I assure you that this was just a joke. The comment about the city needing a 1000 johns was too much of a softball to ignore. You were the wet blanket of negativity taking this too literally and seriously...

  I am sorry, I am having trouble finding that reference to the house being in Blackrock. Could you give me the direct quote? Let me spell this out for you. THE COMMENT ABOUT JOHNS WAS A JOKE YOU UPTIGHT EGOTISTICAL...
• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  Uh sure... I didn't say that the house was in Blackrock, just that Blackrocklifer made a comment about prostitutes in the area. I have not said anything about the quality of work being done at 596 Niagara Street. If this...
• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  I have friends who live on Hudson and Niagara, the prostitutes and drug dealers are all around those neighborhoods. I think that this house is only a few blocks away from there. I've also seen them hanging out around Niagara...

• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  What do we do about it? Move the prostitutes to the suburbs? Then what happens to the houses they live in, what happens to the businesses where they shop and the restaurants where they live? Do you consider prostitutes to...
• Commented on The Rebirth of a Signature House on Niagara Street
  I think Blackrocklifer just confirmed that there are plenty of Johns in this area. It does seem that he would like to have the prostitutes only servicing Buffalo residents, but for now the money to pay their bills is coming...
• Commented on Buffalo News Tells the Internet to Go Away
  BN.com blocks any offensive and objectionable words from being posted, much like BRO. BRO will **** out words while BN will prohibit the post until the words are changed. The issue isn't with the words, it is with the comments....

• Commented on Wipe Out Lead Campaign--Year One Update
  These are young teenagers who will be scraping and painting houses. The lead that they are exposed to is just as problematic as a young adult as it is to a young child. The physiological changes to a young adult...
