• Commented on Construction Watch: 716 Swan Street
  Yes! Fracking takes place thousands of feet below a water well. Let me turn the question back at you. Would you forgo energy in winter to keep your family warm? Without fracking the US would need to import natural gas,...

  Pittsburgh isn't that close compared to Bradford, but they seized the opportunity anyway. Buffalo is a port city, and has a lot to offer. Our leadership is keeping us poor....
• Commented on Construction Watch: 716 Swan Street
  Hmmm. I don't see mass migrations out of Pennsylvania because of poisoned water. Do you? People seem to be moving in. By the way, we don't have growth in Buffalo, slow or otherwise. We will see what the next census...

• Commented on 500 Block's New Corporate Faces
  Love the idea of the balcony. I hope more rehabs put them in. A law firm having tinted glass doesn't upset me. They need some anonymity. Be happy they renovated the building and are moving in....
• Commented on Painting for Preservation E. Utica Street Event a Success; Heading to Trico Building Saturday
  Yeah, I get it. I take cheap shots at these things, and I probably shouldn't. I just look at these old buildings, and I see something that is broken and should be fixed, not documented. There might be some tangential...
• Commented on Sensible Niagara River Greenway Reforms Sought
  After 9 years and $50 million, I am glad they finally got around to clarifying this. Now, who is getting booted from these committees to answer for this? Who didn't understand the fundamental reason for their position's existence? Why do...

  I would love it if Buffalo becomes known almost as a frontier-style place where people can become the person they dream about and do the things they can't do where they are now. However, for this to happen, the city...
