• Commented on What Pride?
  This article is spot on and and it has been going on much longer than this recent spat of poor play by the Sabres. Larry Quinn turned the atmosphere of the building upside down after the last lockout marketing the...

  I lived at 62 Eastwood too....
• Commented on Ralph Wilson: Secure Your Legacy
  What really was the point of this blog post? It reads as a letter to Ralph Wilson and a very bad all speculative letter at that? I know it's a long shot but I am going to just guess that...
• Commented on Preservation: A Discussion Worth Having
  BBT, your exactly right. I have never said I'm going to 'x' city to see the new condos that were built there. But, I certainly have been to cities and seen really cool condo developments that were done as destinations...
• Commented on Preservation: A Discussion Worth Having
  Longgone you need to get out a little. There are distillery's popping up all over the country just like local breweries. I'm not gonna to your homework for you and provide links to them all and the tours that go...
• Commented on Preservation: A Discussion Worth Having
  A whiskey distillery would work so well here. Distillery's are tourist destination's all over the world. With it's rustic look and feel the freight house would be perfect for such an operation. Savarino's building is boring and could be built...
• Commented on Dream or Nightmare: Stadium Complex Proposed for Outer Harbor
  If you talk to people that actually attend Bills games you would find out that those people want the stadium left right where it is. What they want is better bathrooms, smaller concession lines, and better TV's when they are...
• Commented on Freight House Owners to Apply for Demo Permit
  If saved, this place would make for an incredibly cool distillery/saloon....
• Commented on Residential Project Proposed for Buffalo River/Ohio Street
  I think you are partially right. There are parts of the river that you describe that do have plenty of public access in Chicago but there are also parts deeper into the city where residential was built right to the...
• Commented on Residential Project Proposed for Buffalo River/Ohio Street
  The problem I see here is with the reconstructed wharf. There is no way city planners should allow a wooden walkway built into the water to be constructed here and passed off as public access. Say the land next door...
• Commented on Funtime Afterdark Presents: Outer Harbor Concert Series
  The article probably could have mentioned that Snapcase is a local band that has been at it for over 20 years and have a world following....
• Commented on Latest Bills Ownership Rumors From Ed Kilgore
  A new stadium is the worst thing that could happen to the Bills and a horrible development idea for Buffalo's shoreline. How a facility that is used 10 times a year would make sense on prime waterfront land is beyond...
• Commented on Model Homes at Colvin Estates Nearly Ready- Nearly Half of Lots Spoken For
  When the home inspector came prior to closing he remarked that the job done on the roof was the worst he has ever seen and the house was 5 years old when I bought it and I have had to...
• Commented on Model Homes at Colvin Estates Nearly Ready- Nearly Half of Lots Spoken For
  I live in a Burke built home and each time I remodel something in the house I get a new lesson in how horrible Burke is at building homes. The craftsmanship is beyond terrible....
• Commented on Hotel Lafayette Gets Ready to Shine
  WCP, I was under the impression that the $5 million coming for the city was to be used strictly to stablize the exterior of the Statler and not for any sort of enhanements? I toured both the Statler and Hotel...
• Commented on BNMC Commits to Continue Discussions on Trico
  Maybe on the outside, similar to how many newer convention centers are being built but there is still a need for light sensitive research and controlled environments. The point is can the BNMC create a critical mass of those types...
• Commented on BNMC Commits to Continue Discussions on Trico
  This is from the link you posted: "Connecting the laboratories, brightly lit public corridors and stairwells encourage chance interactions among researchers, while on the lower floors, light- and vibration-sensitive spaces-including a 325-seat auditorium and imaging spaces-are tucked into the face...
• Commented on BNMC Commits to Continue Discussions on Trico
  I'm not trying to refute Mr Enstice's claim that the building is not a good fit for a lab or that it is too expensive but I was just wondering how large floor plates with a lack of window space...
• Commented on Construction Watch: 363 E. Ferry Street
  $225K a unit for a simple townhome? As a nation we are spending ourselves into financial ruin but at the same time there does not seem to be a national effort to control home building costs. Over the last 10...
• Commented on ECIDA Approves $1.3 Million in Incentives for Area Projects
  Would the environmental work not be the same whether you built a business office, playground, or multi-modal logistics park? A logistics park would have people working on that land 24/7. If the land is clean enough to do logistics would...

  Can you not just go under the tracks at access points?...
• Commented on ECIDA Approves $1.3 Million in Incentives for Area Projects
  I am not sure I understand the need to move the rail tracks along route 5. The project seems a bit short sighted. I would think keeping the tracks as far away from the lake as possible would be most...
• Commented on The R&L Lounge
  They have the best pierogi's & pigs in a blanket I have ever had and Lottie definitely does not like to give out her secrets. It is unfortunate that the craft of doing things the way they have been done...

• Commented on Statler Work Continues; Interview Session Scheduled for Wednesday

• Commented on Statler Work Continues; Interview Session Scheduled for Wednesday
  I took a tour of the building last night. I must say I am not a huge fan of some of the work being done especially in the Terrace Room. After reading article after article on how things were going...
• Commented on A documentary, some bickering, and my experience with refugees on the West Side: Part Three
  What is the point of coming to this blog site and knitpicking over what group does what and how it gets paid for? This is an area of great need. Maybe all the knitpickers should step away from the computer...
• Commented on Woody's Beach Club and Taqueria
  I stopped in last night and found the place to have limitless potential. The beach area they have to work with is really large and at this point just a blank canvas open to new and different ideas. I really...

  I see your point on Canalside and get that once that project really gets moving this area will see an upsing in value but I'm curious as to how you feel a casino would help create one of the most...
