• Commented on Trimania 2013
  Buffalo Rising - As much as I love to hear about events going on in Buffalo (as well as random rants about suburban sprawl and soap-boxing frustrations), could we get more articles about what's happening in the city regarding development...
• Commented on Cities: Rather Than Patronizing Young People, Give Them What They Ask For
  Yes, in several cities I've lived, it was faster to use public transport. Obviously I'm not referencing the efficiency of Buffalo because of decreased bus times and increased fairs. While the whole six-figure salary and car may be the ideal...
• Commented on Cities: Rather Than Patronizing Young People, Give Them What They Ask For
  Being heard? No way. I can't tell you how many times I've contacted city council members and haven't heard a response back from them, period. The mayor's outreach to gen-y-ers is also little to non-existent. increased transit fares, decreased transit...

• Commented on Gallery District Gets Bike-Friendly
  what other option has the city given us? You make it sound like there's a choice? If cutting a sidewalk in half for walkers and bikers is confusing (aka what is done in the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, France,...

• Commented on Gallery District Gets Bike-Friendly
  tourist agencies and Visit Buf Niagara refers to this area as the gallery district. We have a terrible inferiority complex if we don't think our city is good enough to have its own allotted districts....

• Commented on Not a bad seat in the house for the War of 1812 show
  @Paulsobo Did you do any research on this event? Had you attended, you would know that 300 American soldiers are buried in Delaware following an outbreak in an encampment during the war. It was all covered in the 2 hour...
• Commented on Design Revealed for 766 Elmwood Infill Project
  This has always been an area on Elmwood where I look across from Spot and feel disappointed to see that parking lot next to the Globe. This is a more than welcome change to one of the centers of elmwood....

• Commented on Foundation laid for Hispanic American Veterans Memorial Monument
  Just how German students are taught to respect history even though they had nothing to do with the actions of their predecessors, we need to begin respecting our own history and stop pretending like Hispanics, Native Americans, Blacks, and Asians...
• Commented on 300 trees being planted in honor of soldiers buried in Delaware Park
  Buffalo Rising posters need to up the quality of quips/'jokes'. ^^^^ Anyway, I think this is great. Few cities experienced the front of 1812. It becomes evident that it's a pretty unique trait when not many Americans know enough about...

• Commented on The Market Arcade: Make it a destination
  No, the Market Arcade would not survive as a grocery store and I don't think anyone has called for that. The idea is for local vendors to move into the place, which would surely attract the 'go-local' crowd big time....

• Commented on The Market Arcade: Make it a destination
  Sorry to be outspoken about this, but I'm really not all that apologetic. There's a reason why the english language has the term 'oasis.' You can build something in the middle of nowhere and people will come if they have...
• Commented on The Market Arcade: Make it a destination
  That type of system is seen in many, many places. I don't see where you're coming from. If you want to just get your food and get out, you can go to Tops or Wegmans....
• Commented on The Market Arcade: Make it a destination
  Awesome idea, our own little Pike Place in Buffalo? What about enticing Broadway Market to move? I know Im going to get flak for this but it's going to be a while until Polonia is cleaned up so that suburbanites...
