  To gearbm95- Not everyone agrees that djs and mcs and the whole prerecorded music playback scene is in the same category as live musicians who could actually perform without electricity if needed. Some of us think djs and the like...

  Thank you Buffalo Rising for being there to cover an event I regret having missed. The music lineup at Larkin Square is admirable and enticing. Not even one of those forgettable clone bands that are so pervasive and perverse at,...

• Commented on Amber Dixon Named Interim Superintendent of Buffalo Public Schools
  Amber Dixon or any other current or former Buffalo teacher could have been as easily hired by a suburban 'top rated district' right out of college. Then they would have been afforded the respect of their contract being honored as...
• Commented on Coming Together at Canalside
  In the 1980s the arts council (then Art Development Associates) ran a nice event called the Ethnic Heritage Festival at the convention center in the bad weather months, maybe April. We would still enjoy it. That is still a great...

• Commented on Local Art Organizations' Collaborative Efforts Result in New Organization

• Commented on The DPCC Parent Revolution Will Come to a Head Tomorrow
  Ms. Campos, I'll explain the significance of suggesting the students not come to the bps on that date. Things have really gotten turned around when the student 'advocate' groups suggest not coming to school is how things will improve. Truancy...

• Commented on "Revisiting and Re-Imagining the Broadway Market"
  The photo reminds me a little of Toronto's St. Lawrence Market. That this meeting could start the Broadway Market on a road in that direction. One thing I still like to 're'visit the Broadway market for today is the produce....
• Commented on The "us versus them" debate has blinded us so much that we seem to forget who we're fighting for in the first place.
  Until public schools can cherry pick the students that walk through the door the charters will maintain their luster. (Curious to know what percentage of charter students vs. public schools are 'special ed'.) And where do those students too tough...
