• Commented on The Heart Bomb 2013
  So because the building wasn't in danger of being knocked down and the circumstances don't fit your criteria we can't preserve it? Regardless of what the situation is or was, preservation is about more than empty buildings that should be...

• Commented on Elmwood Beverage Center
  Perhaps you should see the Acropolis story and you'll sing a different tune. Why would anyone open ANOTHER bodega within in the midst of 5 other ones is beyond me. Business 101, is there a demand for another store in...

  Sorry Meliq and him/her....

  You said 40 ounce, here comes Mailq with his subtle racism claim....
• Commented on Elmwood Beverage Center
  Meliq, it's called comedy, come down of your perch and have a laugh. I happen to live a block away and the place is an eyesore. And as a matter of fact, businesses do have to pass approval from residents....
• Commented on Elmwood Beverage Center
  The building color is great if it were a fire house. The last thing this 3 block square area needs is another smelly bodega. There's no signs in the windows because they used them all for them for siding. At...
• Commented on SoHo Burger Bar: Designed to taste good
  The restaurant looks great. Although, I had the burger and it was average at best. I'll definitely go back as other items besides the burgers sound and looked better. Best burger in town is at 911 Tavern in South Buffalo,...
• Commented on Comment of the Day: Levy Responds
  If only the building was as inspiring as Mr. Levy's comment. You know what? He's right, if some one wants to pay $30 mil for what everyone else in the city has deemed as garbage, let him. The city gets...
• Commented on Benderson Awarded Donovan Site Rights
  You must have very high standards for successes then. Please, shower us with your wisdom on how this building should look. Like every other of one of Benderson's buildings? Can't we add any imagination to the design of this building?...
• Commented on Benderson Awarded Donovan Site Rights
  I'm glad we're finally doing something with this eyesore of a building. But if this was the best design they had for it, I;d suggest going back and rethinking it. This is downtown, Canalside, if you will, and this is...
• Commented on Walgreens Eyes Gates Circle
  I just can't believe that this is the best idea that Benderson can come up with? What's next a Total Tan right next to the Walgreen's? Besides, how many of this guy's properties are vacant around town already? It would...

• Commented on Collins Says He's Not Running for Governor, Raises $1000/Plate in Rochester
  Poloncarz has a total hard on for Collins, first made public by the fridge. Frankly, they both act like children, between name calling and nit picking. Collins has done some good things and made some sensible financial decisions that I...
• Commented on City Employees Behaving Badly?
  Davis still has a job, contrary to his personal financial troubles, because he actually has made progress in his district and has helped implement poverty programs in the city. I was coming to his defense until the phony credentials came...
• Commented on Parking Wars
  "Downtown businesses do not need free parking, they need access to parking," says Fitzmaurice. Is this all someone has to say to get their name in print? I'll bet you a month's worth of parking that he hasn't paid to...
• Commented on Benderson Real Estate Deal Raises Eyebrows
  Honestly, who cares what Benderson does? So he bought back some properties he used to own. A local real estate giant has made shrewd business moves? Yawn. Much ado about nothing, if you ask me. Most of his projects lack...
