• Commented on Surprising Buffalo: Mike A's
  Christopher Hawkins got served and pwn3d. I happen to think Mike A's is fantastic - the best special occasion / fine dining place in town....
• Commented on Help Save the West Side
  Al Coppola is _a_ Democrat challenging Mark Grisanti. The endorsed Democratic candidate is Mike Amodeo. As for the Peace Bridge, perhaps Senator Coppola thinks it should be demolished. Clearly, that would be the best solution for all sides, based on...
• Commented on Seneca Gaming Corporation Chairman Responds to Opposition
  The writer is absolutely correct that Bennett and the other members of the unintentionally ironically named "Citizens for Better Buffalo" (which is, by the way, not a party to any lawsuit) seems to have no quarrel with casinos per se...
• Commented on Save Trico. Be Happy.
  I thought that Trico flew away with balloons. Was that not real?...
• Commented on Acropolis... no, No, NO!
  Perhaps if Paul would move his successful business to the Trico building, obstructionists' heads would explode....
• Commented on Buffalo Ciao
  I didn't always agree with Buffalo Chow's reviews, but I appreciated them. They were, as you explain, not at the mercy of restaurant advertisers who can cause headaches for the editorial and sales staffs at outlets who do accept restaurant...
• Commented on Kanye West is coming to Buffalo, no plans for interrupting things yet
  I'd like to invite BuffaloRising up on stage to have her moment....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  Sorry, self-interest? Care to elaborate?...
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  I appreciate the fact that Harvey is going on the record here, or anywhere else. People have questions. He's answering them. Well, deflecting some, answering others....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  I don't get it - so holding an opinion is cowardly? Or what, exactly, are you talking about. Or what, exactly, don't you get?...
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  Bob Gioia didn't do anyone any favors vis-a-vis de-polarizing anything....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  It's a blog. Blogs are seldom, if ever, unbiased. Hell, the very raison d'etre of Buffalo Rising - that Buffalo is a cool place to live and work - is biased. But it's better to pick nits at commenters who...
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  dog in the fight is a metaphorical way of saying what your interest is in this, if any. Since you're anonymous, it's sorta hard to figure out if you're involved in any way....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  I'm not "baiting" anyone. I'm asking a question. And moderate, it'd be super-helpful if we knew which dog _you_ had in this fight....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  Harvey - quick question: 1. Will the Reuse board abide by whatever takes place at the special meeting on 9/3? 2. Does the board believe that there is anything illegal or improper in the substance or procedure taken with respect...
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  Excellent comment, dash. It's the members who make up ReUse. Not the board, not the officers or directors, not the Oishei Foundation, but the members and the volunteers who work there....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  You forgot to compliment Harvey's phenomenal head of hair and his sparkly eyes....
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  Harvey - I disagree with the idea that we're going to "love this organization to death". That is, unless you believe somehow that ReUse not taking the building on South Park, or the members taking action that the organization's constituent...
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  One thing's for sure - there's no shortage of empty space or vacant lots on the east side of Buffalo. You could probably pick up a decent space for practically no money. Harvey, I'm intrigued that it's this topic of...
• Commented on ReUse: 635 South Park and The Oishei Foundation
  The plot thickens....
• Commented on Buffalo ReUse: Passion, Vision...Protocol
  When one of the personalities complains that the other personality doesn't play well with others, then those are the cards one's dealt when dealing with this issue....
• Commented on Buffalo ReUse: Passion, Vision...Protocol
  4)In spite of this, the financial chicanery continued, again risking the well-being of the organization at large. And that's my biggest problem with the anti-Gainer, pro-Garrett, pro-Oishei parade - accusing Gainer of financial "chicanery", using terms that imply not just...
• Commented on Buffalo ReUse: Passion, Vision...Protocol
  Here's a hypothesis, and to make it, let's establish a few presumptions. 1. Michael Gainer is an energetic visionary who sucks at managing. He does, however, know what he is and isn't capable of. 2. Harvey Garrett is very good...
• Commented on Buffalo ReUse: Passion, Vision...Protocol
  Someone needs to explain the meaning of the word "fiduciary" to people. Inigo Montoya's famous line comes to mind. Also, shorter Gioia: I'm not saying Gainer is a negligent Hitler, but he _does_ have a funny mustache....
• Commented on Fun with Fieri: The Food Network Star Visits Sophia's
  You've never been to Earl's? Also, I prefer the burgers at Ruzzine's Rockbottom, across the street from Grover's. Grover's fries their burgers, Rockbottom char-broils....
• Commented on Another Voice: The Great American Dreamcycle
  I see it. Avalon Scarves. Paul Morgan, it looks like you sell your schmattes all across the country. Meanwhile, James can only sell his ice cream as far as his legs will pedal him. Clearly this is an unfairness of...
• Commented on Another Voice: The Great American Dreamcycle
  I've never seen so much hostility shown to a businessperson trying to make a living in Buffalo. The streets and sidewalks are public property. There should be one single permit for someone to peddle wares on public property in the...
• Commented on The Waterline: Now Serving
  The Waterline really is fantastic, and it's nice to not have the only on-site option be a vending machine or a "lunch of last resort" that tastes like it came off a canteen truck last week. I'd never been to...
• Commented on Reminder to VOTE: School Board Elections Today
  There's a sucker born every minute....
