• Commented on Wisteria Charter School Initiative
  Spoke too soon, I didn't know The Rose Gardenhttp://www.therosegarden.us/ was Waldorf. I don't think this style of education is for every child, but it's a great option to have!...

  Finally- the Southtowns won't be the only ones with a Waldorf school!...
• Commented on The "us versus them" debate has blinded us so much that we seem to forget who we're fighting for in the first place.
  People never cease to amaze me on these comments. They start off by attacking Allie and Katie at Buffalo ReformEd, who have dedicated their work and personal lives to education. If you can't pick that up from the Web site,...
• Commented on What's Wrong With This Picture?
  Excuse me Buffalo Rising comment-ers for being a bit ignorant, but what can we do as citizens to get courts/the city to act? Letters/e-mails/phone calls- I would think those things go nowhere. This is a beautiful property that should be...
• Commented on Langston Hughes Moving to Cultural Corridor, Renovating Building
  Oh thank goodness!!! I used to do graphic design for Choco-Logo down the street. This Michigan building(s) is a nightmare! The Langston Hughes Center will bring an artistic and lively touch to the area. I know what a life savor...

• Commented on Cobblestone District: The BBQ & Blues Bash
  I'm with you Newell, but the Metro Rail needs security so we don't get attacked by crazy talkers with no tickets. Amp up the security, and maybe more people will jump on board....

  Bring back Clearmotive! If you've never heard Nick's rendition of Eye of the Tiger, you are missing out. :)...
• Commented on Hard Hat Tour: Genesee Gateway
  I used to live next door, on this block. This building has come such a long way- it's really amazing. I agree with the first post, I witnessed some really crazy stuff on this stretch- from people running lights, to...
• Commented on Hard Hat Tour: Genesee Gateway
  Love it!! Thanks for sharing that pic. This is exactly what we should do. What's up with all of the ugly parking lots around the city? I vote for underground parking, and a lively city on top....
• Commented on Keeping It Green On The West Side
  This is fantastic! Because the last thing we need is another parking lot. I love this emergence of gardens in Buffalo! Where do I sign up?...

• Commented on Will HSBC Get Poached?
  Great.... the possibility of more space for rent in Buffalo makes me hurl. Who owns these buildings? If HSBC can't afford the space, who can? The logic seems simple to me: It's better to have a tenant that pays a...
• Commented on Peregrine Poop @ Choco Logo
  Up... looks like Newell paid another delicious visit to Choco-Logo. It is yummy, and Dan would say something like that: "It might look like poop, but if you close your eyes it's really delicious!" Haha, stop in today! You won't...
• Commented on TEDxBuffalo
  It is now wonder than a food writer like @Christa picked Jamie Oliver’s talk to showcase!  And I’m on her side; it was definitely a great talk. He didn’t seem as “rehearsed” as some of the others; I really...
• Commented on Built by Buffalo
  You know I'm with you on this one Newell, of course. I'm never sure why cities, (and apparently local colleges like UB), decide to not invest locally. Hypocrites? Traitors? There are lots of terms for this one. Overall, it’s just...
• Commented on What to do About the Expanding Urban Prairie
  There is a great book out that compares two school districts: Syracuse and Raleigh. Hope and Despair outlines the obstacles that stand between Syracuse and Raleigh, and the historical moments that have developed to create the differences. 1. The theory...

  Oh I LOVE it! Great job Zilly! I love Zilly's intent to keep everything local....
• Commented on Get out and VOTE on May 4th
  I'm a huge advocate for educational choices. The Buffalo Board needs much more than a smart person with credentials, it needs an innovator, a remarkable person who can influence others to fight for programs that cater to students’ strengths and...

• Commented on "Peg's Park" Project Progessing Post-Haste
  This is an amazing project, we need many more REMARKABLE do-ers around Buffalo to take the same initiatives. In the future this will be a great space for schools, and other educational institutions....
