• Commented on Cheektowaga's New Super Walmart: Good News for Buffalo, Bad News for the Region
  Poor decisions in the burbs don't make Buffalo(city) better. It doesn't make it look more attractive or bring anything new to the table. I just don't agree with the article. The Super Flea Market closing is not making the city...

  So if we save the structure, then it becomes an empty barn that tourists would want to see? Or if we reuse it, then people are going to live in a steel pole barn? This building has no purpose today....
• Commented on Residential Project Proposed for Buffalo River/Ohio Street
  I think your position on this building has made you lose all credibility. I'm astounded by the absolute ridiculous idea of saving it. As long as people like you are out there, preservation will always be tied to obstruction. Have...

• Commented on Buffalo Bills and Success: What are the odds?
  Most studies don't apply to the bills because we have an old, payed for, stadium. Dallas may be a much larger city but being on the hook for 1.3 billion is much more then 150 million. Second, your argument has...
• Commented on Buffalo Bills and Success: What are the odds?
  I don't want to get into a huge brawl over the Bills but here are some facts: 1) The team brings in over 20 million per year in tax revenue alone. This figure does not contain any money made from...

• Commented on Diocese Suspends Activities at St. Ann's
  Losing this church and others like it is no different then bulldozing the Erie County Savings Bank. They are part of our history and should be part of our future. Once gone, these places will never comeback... but the real...
• Commented on Graystone Conversion Gets IDA Assist
  Just to bring a little more insight to the matter. Paladino's latest stink was with the city of Buffalo giving City tax dollars(~5 million) to Croce for a building he paid 700,000 dollars for. This is 300,000 dollar hand out,...

• Commented on Designer Selected for New Women & Children's Hospital
