• Commented on 1WNY4U - World Creativity and Innovation Week/ Earth Day project
  think that is a great idea. Im not an artist by any means but I think it could be a cool way of displaying them. Id love to donate my cigarette butts to the cause or help out in...
• Commented on 1WNY4U - World Creativity and Innovation Week/ Earth Day project
  Cigarettes irritate the the hell out of me. first its that plastic wrap around the container, then its the 20 cigarettes, followed by the actual container. If I was a cop I would issue the 50 dollar fine every time....
• Commented on Silo City Rocks and a tribute to Buffalo's mustached men
  i love it because it will make so many people angry...
• Commented on Knock that crap down, they say.
  I love the " we need to make space for new business" comments. People should understand that parking lots don't count as used space. But then again it is Buffalo and parking is big business here. When reading those comments...
• Commented on Webster Block Plan Advances; Alternative Vision Floated
  It is 2013 right? What's with building fabricated "historic looking" buildings. They're not historic so why bother with that theme. Why build a fake 10 house neighborhood when there can be storefronts for all those visitors. The silo building reminds...
• Commented on MLK splash pad nearing completion
  Just remember that the park is in the poorest section of the city. In winter when ice skating is available make sure is usable for the people who live there. It is also going to to take constant maintenance and...
• Commented on Preservation: A Discussion Worth Having
  I love preservation of buildings that are worth keeping. Ones with real meaning. This was a shed. A large one that but it wasn't a market. Its the last one of its kind because its a shed. There is a...
• Commented on Public Meeting Regarding Health Effects of the Peace Bridge
  So let me get this straight? If the plaza is opened more pollution is going to go towards the Elmwood village. But if the traffic is moving through there faster, then wouldn't it decrease the air pollution over the peace...
• Commented on Making Buffalo Safe for Cyclists - Sign the Bicycle Lane Request Form
  I am currently in Madison, WI for a conference and cannot get over how many bicyclists there are here. They understand bicycle usage. Their lanes are divided with concrete, others by a line, and most by the simple rules of...
• Commented on Two Visions Offered for Gates Hospital Site
  while I wish for the vet school to join Buffalo in some way, I feel that that particular area is not the right place for it. The Uniland design is a better fit for that neighborhood. That neighborhood is on...
• Commented on PBN Calls for Postponement of Bethlehem Building Demo
  pbn or BYP should host maintenance days for these buildings. Like beach-clean ups or river clean ups, they should get admittance to the building and clean it up. This may not get a developer today or tomorrow but it will...
• Commented on Anti-Fracking Protest at Buffalo State College
  This company uses hydrofracking for natural gas excavation. This has been considered a clean energy for quite some time. They don't want this to happen which means SUNY would get their energy from dirtier ways that have much more negative...
• Commented on Disappointing, Revised Casino Plans Unveiled
  Hey it looks like the Regal Cinemas I used to work at in the suburbs. I also love how the parking garage is going to be taller than the casino. Way to go Casino!!!...
• Commented on Delaware S-Curves: Downgrading the Scajaquada Expressway
  I agree that the intersection is too big..I'd rather see two traffic circles than the intersections...Circles at keep traffic moving, and are way more appealing. The Scajaquada is so pointless and needs to be downgraded....
• Commented on Road Trip: People Packed Streets, St. Louis Style #1
  As I look at this, this will never happen on Elmwood because its too set in stone....but Main St, Grant St, Amherst St can more easily relate to this street in St. Louis. Main street is perfect because there has...
• Commented on City mass-tickets cars on an observed holiday
  Since when is January 2nd an observed holiday??? That is why I moved my car yesterday night. But I did just attempt a search for the holidays on the parking website and have no idea where to look...that is pretty...
• Commented on Wrecking Buffalo: Comerford OK's Partial Demo of GLF Elevator
  I think the preservationists idea of a projection is the cheap thing that will bring people down to visit them. It financially realistic. A climbing center is not, nor is rehabbing it into another office/residential space. There are plenty of...
• Commented on Increase Metro Rail runs during peak weekend times... please.
  Two things: The powder Keg has nothing to do with this argument. And other cities are doing things so you don't have to wait twenty minutes. These are cities that plan for people and money to be infiltrated into a...
• Commented on Increase Metro Rail runs during peak weekend times... please.
  I guess my original point was misunderstood. I know there is a metro rail service already in place that runs about every 15 min for the entire line. That is good. My request is for about a 1-2 mile stretch...
• Commented on Venus de Silo
  As of now most people drive past the majority of the grain mills not paying attention to them. Why would you, they are an ugly brown or gray, and are in bad shape. This is a simple way of bringing...
• Commented on Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper!
  I was there...and it was very interesting and inspiring to how simple these destinations can be with just a little ingenuity and common sense. The current plan for the harbor doesn't stimulate any part of a person to go and...
• Commented on Offshore Windmills
  I was reading the Sun a couple weeks ago (southtowns newspaper) and they wrote about how they were proposing up to 150 of them from the Steel plant south. It ranged from like 63 to 150. My numbers are prob...
• Commented on Offshore Windmills
  I think it is selfish for us not to use our lake for huge projects like this that will only improve the clean energy output. There is always wind and the lake is very shallow. All I have to say...
• Commented on A Big Blue Wall on Main Street
  The point of this article is the complete opposite of what your fighting. The wall could be much better. I am sure Canisius College has enough police presence to stop graffiti from going up on a new wall. If not...
• Commented on Richardson-Olmsted Complex: 2 Alarmer @ 3am
  I think this is right on. Buffalo State should have redeveloped this building. They are spending several hundred million dollars right now on several building projects and could have easily refurbished this building for classroom space. It would also have...

• Commented on Buffalo Powder Keg Festival
  The weather thing is tough. February 27 & 28 are late enough where you know for sure the lake will be frozen over enough to give it a safe depth of ice. If you were do it too soon the...
• Commented on BRO on BFO: News Sources, Mark Heats Up about Online Anonymity, UB's Physical Plan, Yoga on Grant, Zonies
  I go to SUNY Oswego where they have a zonies, there is also one in Ithaca. It is the definition of Drunk Food. I would not consider it a good eat unless the alcohol was flowing. Hence why they are...
