• Commented on No need for rose colored glasses.
  That picture reminds me of the iconic images of the immigrant neighborhoods in New York City that one sees in movies and TV shows. There are all kinds of wonderful, positive associations there. Warmest good wishes to the Burma Family...
• Commented on Rolling out the green carpet @ the Inner Harbor
  If you are referring to the Skyway ramp in the picture accompanying this article, that ramp is the exit from the northbound Skyway to the eastbound I90. It does not provide direct access to downtown. The Skyway exit ramp to...
• Commented on Buffalo's Steele Population
  This noxious screed is a sorry attempt at a hatchet job on one of BRO's regular contributors. The relationship between the subject of the newspaper expose and the BRO contributor is alluded to but not documented or otherwise substantiated. The...

• Commented on Recent Photos
  It is on the main page. Look for a horizontal array of four square photos in a larger frame. The frame is labeled "Recent Photos". It is linked to a set of photos from BRO on flickr, that hasn't been...
• Commented on Recent Photos
  The title of the thread, "Recent Photos" is correct. I don't know how the incorrect label "Latest Photos" seemed right to me when I wrote the text of the post. But thank you for your eloquent support of the idea...
• Posted Recent Photos to Buffalo Rising Forums
  Does anyone in BRO administration have some time to update the "Latest Photos" feature? It has not been updated since last summer. There have been many wonderful photos here recently that deserve this recognition....
• Commented on After Latest Failed Agreement on Evaluations It's Clear: Students Come Last in Buffalo
  BWAHAHAHAHAHA! You've GOT to be kidding. I suppose all the children from families who can't afford the high priced "private and parochial schools" are just going to be shunted off to the trash? How Republican of you! And charter schools?...
• Commented on Two to tackle on Trinity
  To get information on these properties, try a Google search on their addresses: 42 Trinity Place Buffalo NY and 44 Trinity Place Buffalo NY. The asking price on the corner property is $150,000....
• Commented on Lucy Ethiopian Cuisine and Variety Store
  Analogies are almost always flawed. I did not mean to imply one actually "wrapped" the injera, only that one eats the food surrounded by the bread....
• Commented on Lucy Ethiopian Cuisine and Variety Store
  The custom is not to scoop up food with your hands. Rather, you use a piece of the injera to grasp the food and eat it like a burrito. If you like REALLY spicy food, Ethiopian is the way to...
• Commented on Help a brother Buffalonian (at heart) out.
  Perhaps I should have added "Permanent" to the description o the Hotel Buffalo. The hotel built for the Pan American Expo was a wooden structure, intended for the duration of the Exposition. I do not think that counts in the...
• Commented on Help a brother Buffalonian (at heart) out.
  I concur. A great list. But I must pick a small nit with one of your factoids: The first Statler Hotel was built in Buffalo, however it was the late, lamented Hotel Buffalo at Swan and Washington Streets, and not...

  I found this article ( http://www.incomediary.com/top-20-most-awesome-company-offices ) when trying to find out what motivates a company to relocate or to set up shop in an area. While it does not help much to answer that question, it does provide some...

  The military junta has dissolved? My, my. I think you should inform the US Department of State, as they and the US Ambassador to Burma, Mr. Mitchell, seem to be unaware of that fact. Yes, there was a token release...
• Commented on Follow Occupy Buffalo
  That is interesting, because according to the US Census Bureau, in 2005, nearly 16% of households had incomes of over $100,000. What is your source for the datum that an income of $50,000 puts someone in the top 10% of...
• Commented on On the Market: 5 Days Park
  If I were closer to my return to Buffalo, I would definitely give this place a look. The picture of the living room is stunning and the kitchen upgrade looks good. Love the roof decks. On the downside, the neighborhood...
