  Pardy will never play a minute for The Sabres....
• Commented on 2012 Buffalo Bills: Fantasy Football Preview
  This is a solid write up. Im not as optimistic about the offense as you appear to be but it's plausible. SJ is not a top-10 receiver though. Somewhere in that 14-25 range....
• Commented on Theological Thursdays: Corasanti and Justice
  Get this out of here....
• Commented on Remington Lofts Nearly Complete in North Tonawanda
  "95% owner on premises," eh? I would say that between Sweeney and Wheatfield from River to Payne North Tonawanda is at least 30% rental with no owner on the premises. That's a large area of North Tonawanda and the area...
• Commented on Pinnacle Charter School Fighting to Stay Open
  I don't like the fact that BuffaloRising is pushing the charter school agenda and the attack on public education. Close the charter and give the funding back to the city who needs it....
• Commented on Hot Dog! Louie's Planned for 1049 Elmwood Avenue
  Well, I didn't say anything about veganism, make any statements about anyone being "better," or state anything about any sort of my personal beliefs/agenda other than something relative to this restaurant and their main competitor. This isn't the place for...
• Commented on Hot Dog! Louie's Planned for 1049 Elmwood Avenue
  The only thing the 470 Louie's doesn't have going for it is a weird eat-in vibe. New Louie's, sell veggie dogs and you'll get my business....
• Commented on 504 Washington Street Ready for Tenants
  From the zillow.com photos, the interior finishes look very cheap and tacky, almost like they were an afterthought. You aren't going to attract 400k when you threw 80's floor model units from home depot in the units....
• Commented on After Latest Failed Agreement on Evaluations It's Clear: Students Come Last in Buffalo
  Most likely, we were chipping away at the massive amount of work that comes home with us. I would specifically list the amount of work-related things that consume my time but I know that people like you only want to...
• Commented on It actually gets worse...
  This particular building "always" had a metal security gate over the storefront. Facade change aside, all they did here was upgrade their security choice with the times....
• Commented on WGR Movie Comedy Draft: A Review
  Bulldog has the "best" list followed by Jeremy White. Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, and Waynes World? I would put those three up against any. If anything, these lists highlight the generational differences between the contestants. Whose list you prefer...
• Commented on Construction Watch: Buff State Dorms
  And then you could pay for internet and cable. You would also pay utilities. The dorms offer all amenities plus close proximity to your classes where you can literally roll out of bed and into class. When I moved out...
• Commented on Construction Watch: Buff State Dorms
  That would be correct. That's not out of line or unreasonable for dorms....
• Commented on Name that tagger for $500
  I'm not sure why I get so many negative votes for expessing the truth. ATAK wasn't from out of town or Tonawanda, he was from Kenmore. He lived in the city for a longtime. He is not the guy that...
• Commented on Name that tagger for $500
  ATAK has never been formally caught so I'm not sure where you get your information about his address. It's also incorrect....
• Commented on Kissling Brings Luxury Loft Living to North Tonawanda
  I don't want to get into a pissing match but the trains are pretty loud. Ever been on the lower avenues in NT when they are coming by? They are loud and this building is closer to the tracks than...
• Commented on Kissling Brings Luxury Loft Living to North Tonawanda
  I think you missed the point of how I used "urban building." I was implying that the type of people who want to live in a high density urbanist loft aren't exactly the same clientele who want to live in...
• Commented on Kissling Brings Luxury Loft Living to North Tonawanda
  There is some merit to your question. The building is NEXT to frequently used railroad tracks (8-15 trains per day), and they are loud. The area is alright, the canal area is a little nice but there's nothing around. There's...
• Commented on Construction Watch: St. Martin's Village
  Your logic is flawed. Your point, as you made it, suggests that people to in fact desire urban, dense neighborhoods, but that they move to the suburbs because of socio-politial reasons adversely plaguing the city. Also, generally, many people not...
• Commented on Construction Watch: St. Martin's Village
  I understand your argument about the city. But some of those complains (walking in winter, public transit, proximity to shopping, etc), do you see the correlation between the city becoming less dense and the reduction in quality of services? If...
• Commented on Construction Watch: St. Martin's Village
  About half of the people I know that live in the suburbs, including my wife and I, would love to live in the city. It's a fairly frequent conversation between people about why we live where do we do. None...
• Commented on Construction Watch: St. Martin's Village
  You really don't believe that people, the more affluent people that the city desperately needs and covets, move out of, or don't even consider the city because of developments like these? These are cookie cutter modern housing projects. They look...
• Commented on Making Over McKinley High
  Opinions vary. I like the BP and so do many other people....
• Commented on Medical Campus Parking Ramp Breaks Ground This Fall
  Oh ok, cool guy. I'll let the dreamers keep fooling themselves on this site like yourself. It's funny how those "made up explanations" can be found all over the city of Buffalo. Maybe you missed it from behind your computer....
• Commented on Medical Campus Parking Ramp Breaks Ground This Fall
  I like that you took the first quick shot insult that I typed and glossed over the backing argument I made completely. I don't own a car. There's nobody who would prefer a high density, truly urban city than me...
• Commented on Medical Campus Parking Ramp Breaks Ground This Fall
  The roundabout was very needed at UB. Are you implying it was better for kids to be trying to cross a highway with cars often going 70 without stopping? The roundabout is part of the beginning of the UB vision...
• Commented on Medical Campus Parking Ramp Breaks Ground This Fall
  I can't understand the lack of reality shown here. In theory, mixed use ground floor retail is great. Unfortunately it's not an ideal world. Ground floor commercial isn't going to take off on Michigan and High. The surrounding residential neighborhood...
• Commented on Tower Owner Proposing Addition to Retain, Grow HSBC
  This post makes me feel a lot better. I have a relative fairly high up in operations within HSBC who conveyed the same thing to me about preferring a HSBC new build downtown. He said the main sticking points were...
• Commented on Signs Can Strengthen Community Identity
  Personally, they look like tacky afterthought additions to the signs (clashing colors, the overhang). If we're going to borrow ideas, I would like to see us do it one better and maybe make it one cohesive sign... I don't know...
• Commented on Construction Watch: 448 Elmwood Avenue
  So you want to get rid of every store in the EV? I'd rather concentrate on the gas station at Elmwood and Delevan or the development of the corner at Forest Ave before we talk about getting rid of stores...
