• Commented on Hatch Restaurant to Expand
  Because, it appears, the Hatch is owned by the city (and therefore it's not a private business): http://buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120928/CITYANDREGION/120928835/1002...
• Commented on City Living: 504 Washington Street
  "self-promo?" Wouldn't that be if BR was promoting it's self? This is promoting a developer and a realtor. So it may be considered shameless but it certainly can't be considered self....
• Commented on Dining in the Dark
  WTF is that website? Dear God....
• Commented on Readers Rejoice: Infill Project Planned at 766 Elmwood Parking Lot
  Again, you simply can't resist criticizing everyone and every thing. And as the primary complainer about the spam problem here, did you want to take the chance to comment on the lack of spam? Maybe complain about how you miss...
• Commented on Trico Building: BNMC and Preservation Buffalo Niagara
  grad - you come to this site and criticize the site constantly. when you're not doing that, you criticize building owners constantly. Can you share your address or place of employment so the rest of us can swing by your...
• Commented on Trico Building: BNMC and Preservation Buffalo Niagara
  My understanding is the developers at Larkin were offered this building but chose to pass as they don't think re-development is feasible. Really - do you think the Buffalo market has the ability to absorb another 600,000 sq ft of...
• Commented on Lloyd Taco Truck(s): You Can Help Get Another Lloyd Rolling
  It seems more "emabaressing" to misspell embarrassing than to use Kickstarter. Also, do panhandlers ask for money to expand their businesses? I always thought they were looking for cash for booze, smokes and/or food. Guess I had that wrong....
• Commented on Charles Rand Penney Collection Sale
  Well, it's a post about an event at the TR inaugural site carriage house so you get 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count. Ready, go! http://www.trsite.org/content/pages/accessibility...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  LOL, that is classic. You make a claim, someone asks for one scintilla of evidence to support it, and you respond with 'well you disprove it.' Awesome. You should go into medical research. "I have a cure for cancer!" Okay,...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  Any actual evidence for this claim? Or do you just like to assert things and use the assertion itself as proof?...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  "Businesses" don't come here, is your claim. And that is substantiated by what? Bass Pro? Anything else? The region has a lower unemployment rate than the national average. And faster per capita GDP growth than the national average (by a...
• Commented on My Favorite Buildings: 123 Bidwell For Sale
  So you are willing to bet on the ultimate purchase price of this property? I have $10K that says it will go for more than $220K. You in?...
• Commented on My Favorite Buildings: 123 Bidwell For Sale
  Get this - I know plenty AND I have been in the house. And yes, those two things are related. Also, when you finally save enough money to actually buy a house, you'll have some clue about this sort of...
• Commented on My Favorite Buildings: 123 Bidwell For Sale
  I know plenty about the property and I have the facts. Ironically, that makes your comment a 'know nothing' comment without any facts....
• Commented on My Favorite Buildings: 123 Bidwell For Sale
  Wrong, you do not need at least 30% down on any building over 2 units. Call a banker to confirm....
• Commented on My Favorite Buildings: 123 Bidwell For Sale
  Your ignorance of this real estate market combined with your repeated assertions (some of which you take back moments later) are quite a combination. i would have bet you your entire net worth that this place would sell for more...
• Commented on Buffalo Has 19th Highest Growth in Per Capita Metro GDP in the World
  This is not an anomoly (sic) as Buffalo's per capita GDP numbers have been impressive (and accelerating) for a decade. It's just that you're ignorant to the broader economic reality. http://www.urbanophile.com/2011/02/24/new-metro-gdp-data-released/...
• Commented on 2nd SABRES BLOGGER SUMMIT
  Let's break down your idiotic comment point by point: 1) There's an "entire group of fans that are leery of sports and of the Sabres. . ." So you're contending that all gays are "leery" of the Sabres? Obviously, that's...
• Commented on City mass-tickets cars on an observed holiday
  1) Are you a spambot? 2) There is no alternate side parking on weekends. So what do emergency vehicles do then? Oh, I know, the humans driving them drive through on the street through two rows of parked cars with...
• Commented on City mass-tickets cars on an observed holiday
  People - one of the primary reasons cities do NOT have alternate side parking during weekends (non-workdays) is because there would be no chance for everyone to obey the law. See, during workdays, many people drive their cars to work...
• Commented on How Will the Board of Ed Fill Jacobs' Vacant Seat?
  He's been on the school board since 2004 so. . . . you're claim that he 'jumped ship at the first elective upgrade that came his way' is idiotic. What you meant to say was "I'm a Democrat so I...
• Commented on A Market is Born. Now Where are the Banks?
  Ha, it sounds like redlining why? Because the bank isn't willing to make a loan? Here's a news flash: most banks are making fewer loans nowadays as a result of their damaged balance sheets and a result of decreased consumer/business...
• Commented on Brett Hull, America's Favorite Cheater, Joins Twitter
  It's cool that Hull has purchased those shirts and been good to you guys but his purchase of 50 shirts isn't affecting the Google auto-fill box. Google factors a lot of data into its algorithm but it doesn't include how...
• Commented on Whatwasthere.com - past vs. present photos of Buffalo!
  you'd sue bro the allowing the 'slander' that is 'tielman would have a heart attack if you fixed a cracked sidewalk.' That's slander? LULZ...
• Commented on Highlighting Buffalo's Green Side - The Innovation Center
  Do you really have enough information to know whether knocking that building down would be UNGREEN (and waste a lot of money)? Seems unlikely you do. In general, yes, demolition is less environmentally sensitive than rehabbing but the particular condition...
• Commented on This Weekend's Irish Festival Offers Peek at Statler Work
  Would it have been possible to come up with a more terrible poster design? You've got the absurd leprechaun, the rainbow, the gold, the shamrocks. . . anything other hack Irish imagery missing?...
• Commented on Connecticut Street Sandwich Company
  I'm most impressed by the fact that they just opened the restaurant but they clearly launched the website about 15 years ago. Wait, that's not a new website, is it?...
• Commented on A Star Studded Trip To Buffalo
  Canadian at par doesn't have the same marketing juice it used to, since, you know, the Canadian dollar is now worth MORE than the US dollar. $100 canadian dollars get you $102 US dollars....
• Commented on A Star Studded Trip To Buffalo
  You think you could have found a douchier way to point out a broken hyperlink?...
• Commented on 440 Linwood: Mansion + Carriage House for $849,900 (Video)
  That's the best case. It seems very unlikely they'll sell this for $850k given it's on Linwood so I think it's more likely they lose $300k or more....
