• Commented on The Peddler Launches on Saturday
  I had such a fabulous time selling at the Peddlers! It was such a great opportunity for the whole neighborhood to socialise (just like in the old days in Europe when everyone socialised that way). There were also some great...
• Commented on Rehab Underway at 368 Grant Street
  I already spoke to David Rivera and Mayor Browns top police staff about this in person a couple years agao - and the 1-2 officers that are out there are trying really hard but they are so outnumbered by the...
• Commented on Rehab Underway at 368 Grant Street
  Thank you for the reply but calling 311 doesn't work. I even spoke to Mayor Browns team when they did the walk through our neighborhood "clean sweep" and that did not change anything. I know the policeman are out there...

  This is so sad. The Cloister's design - inside and out - was so beuaitful and interesting in it's day. Now it's being replaced by this lunch box shaped building....
• Commented on Tuesday Trico Meeting POSTPONED
  DR - I used to work construction with my Dad. I know that the materials they used to build these older buildings are hard to find today or extremely expensive. This isn't just about saving old buildings - it's about...
• Commented on Medical Campus Transforms City, Leaving History Behind?
  RaChaCha, Thank you for supporting my idea -- for the city to use this building as their new animal shelter--- that is very kind of you. Many more animals could have been saved if only there was more room at...
• Commented on Medical Campus Transforms City, Leaving History Behind?
  I know this is a totally unattainable goal and a crazy idea but I can dream can't I? The Buffalo City Animal Shelter has always been way too tiny to meet the needs of all the animals in this city....
• Commented on Medical Campus Transforms City, Leaving History Behind?
  There is no respect for good reusable (or still use it ) solid good buildings/materials. I'm disgusted by what a throw away society we are. The city's demolition behavior says "whats wrong with throwing away thousands of tons of...

  This church had a Rummage sale a few years ago and when I arrived the church members running the sale were stuck outside because they had forgotten their key. They tried but were unable to locate any members who had...

• Commented on New Mental Health Clinic Opens on Medical Campus
  wow- I'm impressed. Providing evening mental health services on a walk-in no appointment necessary basis is a wonderful idea. This is a community need that has been unaddressed for many years (and therefore emergency rooms have had to try to...

  I agree with MRodgers. This would make a great location for a co-operative Arts Center....
• Commented on The Showplace Theater: What's it gonna take?
  How about turning it into a dinner - comedy club? Amherst Street doesn't have allot of parking and is doing well. We always parked in the lot across the street when it was a movie theatre....
• Commented on The Showplace Theater: What's it gonna take?
  I absolutely loved when The Showplace was a movie theatre. You would go up to an old fashioned window and buy a ticket from a guy. They when you went to buy popcorn - the same guy would run over...
