  People are going to go preservat-insane over an half-collapsed building in a neighborhood that hasn't seen significant investment in a generation? That makes total sense....

  Just say it. I'm a racist and don't like a man nearly all Americans hold as a hero for peace, Dr Martin Luther King Jr....
• Commented on Ribbon Cutting for Black Rock Canal Park
  It looks great but that is the windiest place in the City....
• Commented on Luminous Shots of Grain Elevators in 'The Atlantic Cities'
  If they could project the video, could you imagine the crowd to watch a Sabres playoff game on the grain elevator? Could they screen classic movies, a la an old school drive-in? When the winter skating rinks are open on...
• Commented on 2013 Buffalo River Fest Park Concert Series
  Between Larkinville, Canal Side, The Outer Harbor and Riverfest Park will a day go by without an outdoor concert this summer? This is a great time to be in the City....

• Commented on Book Review: Government Schools are Bad for Your Kids
  "He argues that crime, delinquency, and chronic truancy in government schools is because of bad management inherent to government entities." Yup, government is bad. Anarchy and Social Darwinism should rule who gets what kind of education. Read that book but...
• Commented on UB Unveils Med School Design (More Images)
  I would like to nominate that for the Most Ignorant and Hateful Comment Ever Made on BRO Award. He actually typed Ben's lifestyle choice idiocy. Considering the level of staggering ignorance filing these comments section it's a great achievement. Is...
• Commented on Let's tap our architectural heritage and push the envelope moving forward
  I'm all for reuse where feasible but what you suggest is preposterous. Use old doors that were all in odd sizes and completely energy inefficient. Not to mention that all that remediation is expensive. These are already projects costing dozens...
• Commented on Let's tap our architectural heritage and push the envelope moving forward
  There is roughly a billion dollars in development going on in the City of Buffalo right now. This is the first period of major investment in downtown Buffalo in a generation. Of course some will still find a way for...
• Commented on Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Plans October Opening
  I seriously don't know how anyone could complain about this. They're investing a lot of money into a long vacant Downtown building. It's not a restaurant that will kill other BBQ joints. It's a destination restaurant. I highly doubt Kentucky...
• Commented on In Western New York, wealthy corporate gaming interests have been conspiring to defraud the Seneca Nation
  Says a guy who works for the Senecas. http://blogs.artvoice.com/avdaily/2012/02/14/seneca-anti-grisanti-pr-gone-bad/ "However, Ricchiazzi’s most recent known employment was with Seneca Holdings, LLP, the Seneca Nation’s investment entity." This is a propaganda piece and should be read as such. Buffalo Rising's credibility takes...
• Commented on Interview with Buffalo Tom of Buffalo Tom's Gourmet Hot Sauce
  That stuff is great! I tried some at Buffalo Adore on Abbott 2 weeks ago. I plan to buy some as soon as my Frank's bottle runs low....

  In the Garden of Beasts is on my to read list. Best thing I read this year was Brandon Sanderson's Elantris....
• Commented on Bills Sign 10 Year Lease With $130 Million in Stadium Renovations
  This is almost the same dollar amount as the previous lease. This is a band aid lease. The fixes will most likely continue to be small scale and mostly cosmetic. It will open up the discussion for a one billion...
• Commented on Metro Rail: The Original Vision
  I wish this was here. The Hamburg line would most likely run within a few blocks of my house in South Buffalo. I dream of the day I could ride the train to Sabres or Bisons games or just downtown...
• Commented on A Buffalo Renaissance Proclamation
  Snarky replys? What are you some BRO troll?...
• Commented on A Buffalo Renaissance Proclamation
  Looks like a lot of fluff to me. "Let's be great" is nice talk but what's your plan, Mike? I don't see a single specific idea, plan, number. 101 questions is a lot and most are valid. Can you answer...
• Commented on UB Buys First Property Needed for New Med School
  That picture is beautiful. I know the Federal building showed us it doesn't always translate but I can't wait to see this go up! The medical campus is quietly the best thing to happen to Buffalo in 60 years....
• Commented on Pierce Field at Mulroy Park
  I live 5 blocks from there and never knew that park existed. Nice plan. I hope South Buffalo Football gets involved....
• Commented on Construction Watch: Inner Harbor
  No, I meant to reply to Ivan above. I don't know why it didn't have the reply tag at the top. It doesn't need to be at the waterfront, but it can be close. That's where everything is being built....
• Commented on Construction Watch: Inner Harbor
  People are moving down town. If we want that to continue then we need to put a place for them to buy food. To get to a Wegmans from down town you have to drive to Amherst St or out...

  Ha, Fuddy Duddy....
• Commented on LaSalle Park Skate Plaza
  I couldn't disagree with you more. This will be a major attraction for skateboarders from all over WNY and Southern Ontario. It will be a safe, legal place for skateboarders of all ages to go. Imagine the diversified destination LaSalle...
• Commented on PBN Responds to Proposed Erie Freight House Demolition
  I kayaked by that building a few weeks ago. It has a cool history but it needs to go. It might be a different story if it wasn't half-collapsed already! This project could go a long way to revitalizing the...
• Commented on Don't Give Tom a Room
  If you are so happy you "got out" when you could why do you come back and troll sites dedicated to making this city better for those of us who stayed? And Bills Mafia is Bills fans having fun on...
• Commented on Reports Show Casino a Raw Deal for Buffalo
  Yeah, totally. How dare he use research and statistics to make an educated argument against a bad decision for our city. It's a plan that is a bad design run by a company that is EVADING TAXES! It's like saying...
