• Commented on Sweet_ness adds a European twist
  Cafe culture would be a great addition to the c.o.b. lifestyle. Its one of my favorite facets of Eurpoean life...Cafe Aroma is a good example of what a European Cafe is; its a little light on the outdoor space though....
• Commented on The Skyway's The Limit?
  I don't necessarily mind the elevated portion of the skyway itself, more so I have a big issue with the lack of connectivity to the outerharbor and the RAMPS THAT LEAD UP TO THE SKYWAY. The skyway doesn't aide in...
• Commented on Done Deal: 185 Niagara Street Sold
  You know youre an ugly ass building when Travelerr is advocating for your demolition... Mark...no amount of landscaping will fix this turd. He doesn't have the best track record recently..scratch that in the last decade. Anyone taking bets...how long it'll...
• Commented on Join the cast and crew of the feature film The Romans
  take it easy you pasta eater......
• Commented on Ryan Miller's Condo Listed For Sale
  Glad to see him finally moving on...he has deserved much better for a very long time. The goalie can't hold the whole team up forever..he's got more talent than the Sabres deserve. He's a stand up guy..big fish in a...
• Commented on Women & Children's Hospital Reuse Meeting Scheduled
  Right..we're late, planning should have started a long time ago. Hopefully its knocked over and done with..theres no better spot for housing and mixed use commercial. Vet school...I hope I'm not the only one who laughed at this even being...
• Commented on Façade Work at 686 Main Street Proceeding
  150k...WOW...what a steal!...
• Commented on HARBORcenter Officially Underway- Design Evolving
  How is this project mediocre? Even in the slightest way? This is more money than you and all of your little friends..and all of their friends could even comprehend of. How can we settle when we do not even have...
• Commented on HARBORcenter Officially Underway- Design Evolving
  youre right..why bother with a review at all? If youre willing to plunk down 172 million that will inherently leave the area and the district better off than it was..who are you or I or anyone else in Erie County/Buffalo...
• Commented on 21st Century Park proposed for Outer Harbor
  I do not want to hear another thing about waterfront access until we have a bridge from Main street providing direct access to the outer harbor. Don't put the chicken before the egg...no parkland...streets..buildings etc...focus on access. First step..duhh.. Its...
• Commented on HARBORcenter Officially Underway- Design Evolving
  You people are soo simple..its hilarious. The initial "nighttime" pic. looks like a damn space ship..porshe out front..every single light on.. New pic. is a daytime shot...doesn't look a heck of a lot different than the 2 day time shots...
• Commented on No Parking, No Problem
  I had a lovely roundtable conversation on Easter with family members and some friends..who wouldn't budge from the "all old buildings are bad" stance and how the person who renovated the Hotel Lafayette is bankrupt and its impossible to do...
• Commented on No Parking, No Problem
  Ahh I never said there was nothing to do in the city...theres plenty of things to do..but the majority of what we do have is single use. Single use districts/entertainment options are not viable and its what we have now....
• Commented on No Parking, No Problem
  I'm with everything above....there aren't many reasons at all to go Downtown or even to the City as a whole for that matter. Buffalo has got a long long way to go in destination management. As stated above what we...
• Commented on Crave comes to Hertel
  Let me phrase this carefully...Allen St. is a piece of sh*t. It is now and was 30 years ago...and its a real shame for two primary reasons. It doesn't do the gorgeous streets off Allen any justice...Park, Mariner, Irving I'm...
• Commented on Teens losing Interest in Driving?
  hahaha...pay no attention to the worst economy since the great depression. You guys are crazzzyyy. High unemployment that's effected the suburbs just as much (more?) than cities..leading to well off parents NOT purchasing cars/insurance for their children. In some cases...
• Commented on Restoration News: Central Terminal
  Anything on indoor bathrooms? I haven't been to the terminal in a while but I do remember a sign stating "these b-room brought to you by WNY harkness carpentry program?" 5-6 years later that sign was still up. Today..still no...
• Commented on Craziness: $200 Million Parking Plan Floated
  Indeed...stuck on stupid. Boy I'll tell ya wny leaders..creative problem solvers of the year. Lets plunk down 500 million for a light rail extension and parking garage in the middle of no where..miles away from where people work. All on...
• Commented on Something like this?
  agreed..kinda silly...bad and worse...
• Commented on Grain Elevator Lighting Test, POOL Elevator, Buffalo, NY
  Unbelieveable!!Do it and move on...
• Commented on Careful What You Wish For
  That literally..is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life. Lets say Xmas didn't exist to get generous to your cause...in a week Target alone probably does more sales than Elmwood in 6 months. This is...
• Commented on Vasilis Express brings recipe for success to Hertel
  Your dealing with the side of Hertel (Hertel itself..not side streets) that is unequivocally more residential that the other half. Of course your going to have normal operating businesses that serve every day needs--coffee shop, sweet shop, liquor store, corner...
• Commented on Vasilis Express brings recipe for success to Hertel
  There was indoor seating and an indoor counter at Grumpys..you had to go in from the side. Maybe 10-15 seats. I would say its a pretty good street presence considering what they were dealing with..an old gasoline shack and a...
• Commented on Night Lights at the Gardens 2013
  Definately wins the awards for most passionate and most posts....
• Commented on What might Allen Street look like some day?
  Definately a shortage of nicer places for the over 25 crowd to enjoy a beverage. I think the most successful "entertainment" districts are "co-minglers"..in that you have all sorts of establishments for all ages that have low tolerance for over...
• Commented on Rental Project Planned Near LaSalle Light Rail Station
  Ehh..the renderings are pretty bad..I'll withold my judgement until we can actually see what the townhomes and apartments will look like and what will actually be facing Main Street. Infill is inherently a good thing but we will see..you guys...
• Commented on Sunday Service
  "Stabilize it"..then what. There was a fire and its an older building..I know we all love to think that any engineer or structural analyst hired by someone demolishing a building is lying and evil..so it won't be a simple lock...
• Commented on Sunday Service
  No...Shea's is in use. I'd rather not. There was plenty of time for local citizens (from this particular area of the community even?) To form a committee..get involved..make complaints...put pressure on city hall..form a restoration group..fundraise and save this church...
• Commented on Sunday Service
  I'll agree with the dysfunction of city hall and the need for some sort of plan for buildings like this. The church was the only building that was eye catching in a sea of Buffalo double doubles and its a...
• Commented on What's Your Wish for 2013
  Locally: a refurb. of Niagara Square and a Statler that finally gets off the ground. Every hotel thats been announced in dt buffalo to open. (It'll put pressure on the slime operating in the market) Local leadership thats refreshing..someone who...
