• Commented on Tapestry Charter School Starts Work in North Buffalo
  It may be a terrible building but this charter school removes the viability of one more public school and for that I over whelmingly applaud it. Public schools do little more than warehouse kids under a teacher union controlled legislated...
• Commented on Proposed Rooming House on Tonawanda Street Meets Opposition

• Commented on First Sale Recorded at Avant

• Commented on Concordia Cemetery: 150 Years of Buffalo's History Needs Your Help

• Commented on Hilton Name Returning Downtown
  Buffalo State, Canisius, Medaille and the Culturals desperately need a hotel and conference center. My guess is that a replanning and potential reskinning of Millard Fillmore Gate Circle will be redeveloped for exactly that purpose. A hotel and some sort...
