• Commented on City of Buffalo Announces Summer E-Waste Recycling Day
  The city not long ago came out with these great new large green recycle bins, why can't electronics and batteries be added to what can be picked up? I would bet that more people would recycle if it were more...

• Commented on Construction Watch: The Martin Group @ 477 Main Street
  I'm sure eventually retail will return and fill in first floors. Look how long it took Mighty Taco to locate to Chippewa. I would take looking at office workers over boarded up buildings with for sale signs any day. It...
• Commented on Construction Watch: The Martin Group @ 477 Main Street
  Great news, another empty storefront filled. I think it would fit in better if the height matched the building on either side. Does anyone have any news or updates on the two story Burger King building on the adjacent corner?...
• Commented on Preservation Means Jobs: O'Brien's Quality Service Flooring
  With the amount of money spent on this building, it's very surprising to see stick down carpet squares. Hopefully this is a back hall or staircase. Besides that the place is a work of art. Thank you Rocco Termini, I...
• Commented on Ellicott Proposes a Strong Mix of Uses for Webster Block
  I personally really like this plan. The building style and materials work and the apartment aspect brings more needed 24/7 foot traffic. It would be nice to see the Sabres rendering which would also be a nice addition to the...
• Commented on Could Buffalo, one day, be home to a Plantagon?
  While the building and idea are cool; if built will it go the same route as the South Buffalo tomato greenhouse? Sounds like that "Silver Bullet" dreaming Buffalo is so famous for. I would love to see a similar building...

  120 South Park, any news on what if anything can be done to save this build as well as others that line Illinois St? It would truly be a sin if these were lost especially after all the past news...

• Commented on HomeFront Inc. Transforming City Neighborhoods With Vacant Home Rehab Projects
  This strategy to acquire and rehab old, vacant and condemned housing should be utilized through out the city.I would think it would be cheaper in the long run than demolition and maybe new drywall/vinyl box replacements several years down the...

• Commented on Canisius College Acquires Building on Main Street
  The city should continue the reconstruction of Main St. as was done from University to Humboldt-Hospital stations. New trees, lights and a pot hole free roadway that is drive-able. This section of Main from Humboldt Pkwy. to Goodell St. is...
