• Commented on Interview an Atheist at Church Day
  It's irrational to paint every religious organization with a broad brush of cynicism. Yes, some do get rich and mistreat people in the process. Most however genuinely want to help people live the best life possible....

• Commented on Report: Delaware North Looking at Two Sites for New HQs
  townline and longgone...good points. They are relatively small scale hotels. I was not aware of Buffalo's relative postion nationally in terms of vacancy rates/data. Good info. Thanks....
• Commented on Report: Delaware North Looking at Two Sites for New HQs
  A new structure built on a current surface lot would be great to see, but how many new hotels can Buffalo support? How much longer can each new development in the city include a new hotel before the market becomes...
• Commented on Construction Watch: HARBORcenter
  Great point. Harborcenter and The Carlo are largely private investment which makes this an even better story. Another thing worth mentioning is that between Harborcenter, The Carlo, and the Donovan Bldg, three new hotels are opening near the casino, rather...

• Commented on Craziness: $200 Million Parking Plan Floated
  I agree, this is rediculous. If you are going to extend light rail to a parking facility to accomodate a commuter workforce, then that parking facility should be a park and ride in the burbs and the $200M should be...
• Commented on Ellicott Development Eyes Waterfront Village Project
  "and maybe a deliberate nose up to the mayor and the less than wealthy people." It's also possible that they wanted the waterfront tower to have views of the water. Its a waterfront condo, not a I190front condo....
• Commented on Ellicott Development Eyes Waterfront Village Project
  According to the Buffalo News, the structure will be built on one of the parking lots adjacent to Templeton Landing. If the Buffalo news article is correct, this is a mixed use development replacing what is now a surface lot....

• Commented on Lindy Ruff Fired
  I think you mean Jerry Jones...and No, Pegula is not nothing like Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is owner, president, and GM of the Cowboys. Pegula hired Ted Black as President and has Darcy Regier as GM. Pegula has trusted (maybe...
• Commented on ECHDC Board Approves HARBORcenter, Park, and Bridge/Elevator Lighting Projects
  Well said. I have read the comments mocking the "private investment" and have been thinking the same thing. Every so often the county does a sales tax reduction on clothing to bolster retail sales in the area. Do these people...

• Commented on PBN: What's the Delay with Trico Landmarking?
  This is comical. The reason this building has not achieved "landmark" status is because the rational people outside of the six "preservationists" who comment on this site realize that there is nothic historically significant about this building. As others have...
• Commented on Dream or Nightmare: Stadium Complex Proposed for Outer Harbor
  17,0000 paying ticket holders on any given Saturday are better than the stadium being dormant on those particular days. UB doesn't need to sell out to make it a reasonable second user of a new stadium. It's just one piece....

• Commented on Karl Rove speaks at Canisius College
  I did not attend. I did not want to be in the same room as this dude. In my opinion, the partisan divide in Washington is the biggiest problem we face as a nation. Being an idependent, I don't advocate...

• Commented on Sabres Win Rights to Webster Block
  This place is going to be awesome...and it's on a surface lot so it avoids the argument over tearing something down to build it. This is a win for Buffalo and the Sabres. The hockey tournaments and visitors that will...
• Commented on City Expects to Select Webster Block Developer in Two Weeks
  If the Sabres' proposal is chosen (my personal preference), I hope Paladino/Ellicott has the decency to choose against any lawsuit/obstruction effort. Spiteful lawsuits are the achilles heel of Buffalo development. Either option is a huge step for canalside, Buffalo, and...
