• Commented on Teens losing Interest in Driving?
  No mention of the relative cost compared to 30 years ago? Another Flawed study in my eyes. Used/new car prices,gas, insurance, and maintenance/repairs are more expensive for a teenager today relative to 30 years ago. Plus, no mention of how...
• Commented on Construction Watch: Toronto Condo Boom
  Talk to anyone that lives there and all they talk about is the traffic congestion and how it wasn't like that just 10 years ago. It will only get worse....
• Commented on Buffalo Loves Canada
  Your comment demonstrates how silly this idea really is. Marketing 101: It is pointless to brand something that brings little value. An image of a Buffalo and maple leaf will mean nada to Canadians. This positive vibe the head of...
• Commented on New Pilot Program at the Peace Bridge
  This should throw a twist in everything.... A new study is pointing the finger at cooking burgers. As you know, Burger King is right there. According to this study, they are doing much more harm than 30-50 idle trucks. "An...

• Commented on City Releases Plans for Linwood Avenue
  "This is SO exciting. This is going to make Buffalo look VERY progressive on a national stage" You would think, but this is not a major road. Most tourists will never see it. I honestly feel the city is doing...

I hope the link works....
• Commented on $2 Million in Federal Funding Paving Way for New Outer Harbor Boardwalk, Park & Fishing Destination
  BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME? All this money spent and it seems the visitor count went from 30 to 200 people per day (summertime only). Given the amount of designated parking, it seems they met their goal. $18 million...
• Commented on Steal This Idea: Buffalo's buzz
  FU Toronto. I just saw a comedy show on CBC(chan. 16)called "22 minutes". The show pokes fun using the news. It mentions how a gorilla escaped from the Buffalo zoo (true story) and returned back to the zoo in a...
• Commented on Buffalo's Pervious Pavement Project
  How many politicians does it take to water asphalt?...
• Commented on Melting Point
  Check out Gorilla Cheese food truck in Hamilton. Longest lines I ever seen at a food truck. Hopefully melting point branches out and Buffalo gets a mobile cheese truck. There is plenty of free parking in front of my house....

  In reference to the new bridge in Detroit: "an end to Buffalo and upstate New York as the default choice for Canadian firms wanting to establish a U.S. distribution or sales office hugging the border." http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1212242--canada-michigan-bridge-over-gridlocked-border-rightly-bypasses-litigious-billionaire-olive When the new bridge...
• Commented on Master Plan for Outer Harbor Parcel
  It will look beautiful once completed. But what will keep people coming back is functionality - like a swimmable beach. It doesn't look like this is part of the Master Plan. I am pretty sure the water quality is OK...
• Commented on Scenes From Above: A Former Steel Plant in Buffalo Goes Green

• Commented on Understanding and Growing Canadian Shopping
  Here is one for starters; How about more businesses accept Canadian cash ?? I know some do, but many don't. We need to educate ourselves about the value of a homogeneous approach to accepting foreign currency before educating Canadians on...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  The Dino BBQ has to be on water, like in Rochester and Troy. The second floor of the Erie Canal Harbour Metro Rail station would be awesome. I would support Gov't money to get the necessary building updates (i.e. wheel...
• Commented on Can Buffalo attract just 1% of the Boomers?
  Security is important. What we need is some kind of study comparing us on this level. Farmers insurance does this annually. Two years ago Buffalo was not on the top 20 list. Last year we were 19th. This year we...
• Commented on Advocates Halt the Demolition of City-Owned Properties
  I think for this to work, the city would need a go-between to manage these rebuilds. The last thing the city needs is inexperienced re-builders compromising the neighborhood and leaving it in worse shape. I recommend that the city seek...
• Commented on WGRZ Blind to Positives Happening on 500 Block

  There were 3 houses on this street up for auction back in 2009. Was 21 Plymouth purchased at auction? If so, I was the next highest bidder, lol. I remember sitting behind the guy that won the bid. It was...
• Commented on Grisanti and Hoyt: Time for ECC to Consider Consolidation
  Student will have no trouble driving in. First, they've been going to Chippewa since they were 18 :). Second, close to 50% of UB students live within 30 miles and drive in. If UB feels downtown is a good decision...
• Commented on Grisanti and Hoyt: Time for ECC to Consider Consolidation
  Since it takes 5+ years to get things done in WNY, we need to plan accordingly. In 5 years gasoline will be $5.50, you can bank on this and public transit will be vogue. We need to stop spending tax...
• Commented on Construction Starts at Gallagher Beach
  The sand has to be comming, I have faith. This beach opened years ago and aside from being a jet ski launch, it's hasn't attracted the crowds one would expect. Maybe it was a funding issue when they originally didn't...
• Commented on Peg's Park will soon be our park...
  What Buffalo needs, and this could be a great location for, is a place to pull your boat up to(no charge)and go eat on the water. Nothing too fancy with indoor/outdoor seating. I know this is a public park, but...
