• Commented on The Skyway's The Limit?
  Removing is cheaper then it was stated before. I'd thought I heard it would cost roughly the same either way. If its that cheap bring it down. Use some of the would be costs to further upgrade ohio street. If...

• Commented on Ellicott Proposes Fairmont Creamery Makeover
  thats a longshot. a brewery is gonna be started here by a local person. It'll take a while but I think community beer works has got a real shot grow. One another note I heard a rumor that Great lakes...
• Commented on Ellicott Proposes Fairmont Creamery Makeover
  still rather see a brewery over more office space. A brewpub would be my vote. Serves the restaurant he wants and help grow the beer culture of buffalo with their own unique brews. If they make good enough beer doesn't...

• Commented on Senior Global Team of IBM Executives in Buffalo
  Hopefully they listen at city hall. Biggest fear is they ignore their ideas. Also it might not be a bad time to pitch buffalo and the buffalo billion to IBM too. Its a longshot but hey they're already here....

• Commented on 2012 Metro Year in Jobs- Buffalo Fourth (worst)
  I don't listen to these anymore. Everyday there is a new article, list, rank, etc using some different form of data, a different way and rank based on whatever. I'm not critcizing buffalo rising these are everywhere. we know were...

  Important thing to note is they get the money even if the goal isn't reached which creates more incentive to donate....
• Commented on Funding Sought to Complete War of 1812 Sloop
  Holy repost batman!...
• Commented on Cobblestone District Growing- Club Planned for Illinois Street
  shame is citicorp just moved to their offices a few years back as did Geico. If Downtown keeps moving in the right direction businesses will start make their way back....
• Commented on Craziness: $200 Million Parking Plan Floated
  This would make more sense if Ohio street does became more of a major route into the city. They are working on that improve it but they skyway kinda throws a wrench in that since it diverts a traffic away...
• Commented on Webster Block Plan Advances; Alternative Vision Floated
  If the walkway is necessary go with something smaller and try to be mostly glass. It would feel less obstructed and allow light to pass through. Also is anything ever gonna happen with that section of the arena that faces...
• Commented on What Pride?
  Watch a buffalo game then compare it to a game in philly, boston, winnipeg, montreal etc. Our crowd is boring. And you got me, I go that line from the little mermaid....
• Commented on What Pride?
  I got a mini pack. We as fans should be not be waiting for something to cheer about. Instead of waiting for a reason just cheer because. I'd just like to see a more energetic atmosphere regardless of how were...
• Commented on What Pride?
  I've been on about how quiet we become over the last few years. yes we suck but if you aren't there to cheer give the tickets to other people....
• Commented on Sharing is Caring in Buffalo
  Saw this bike share program in Paris. If they could mimic some parts of it it would be pretty awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9lib'...
• Commented on Common Council Items of Interest February 5, 2013
  One thing that stadium idea had right is it has to be a retractable roof stadium. Otherwise we might as well throw money into the Ralph. The waterfront would never work due to the amount of infrastructure needed to be...

  Shame it couldn't go into a vacant building instead....

  So Cuomo what happened to the bifurcation idea?...
• Commented on A look at St. Paul's Union Depot
  Yeah let's tear it down. It'd impeding the groups that want to develop there. oh wait.... The various levels of government aren't throwing tax payer money at so what have any of you to complain about. I'll take it slowly...
• Commented on The NHL May Have Been Quiet...
  Pretty sure there's a limit to how high they can build....
• Commented on Assemblyman Ryan Urging ECIDA to Reject Tax Breaks for Catholic Health Project
  It's a good point. This isn't a vacant lot/parking lot or a building being refurbished or repurposed. So what are bringing to the table that's special beyond a building and tax revenue. We shouldn't poopoo development but say to them...
• Commented on PBN: What's the Delay with Trico Landmarking?
  Here's to hoping Cuomo comes through with his "bifurcation" idea for historic tax credits. This structure is too big and no company will try and redevelop it....
• Commented on Downtown Development Recap: 2012 Edition
  Ketry wants to buy the materials and use them as part of the structure for his brewery. Not really rebuild it just recycling the stuff instead of it going to the dump. That sounds like a win-win to me since...
• Commented on Bills Changes: Chan Gailey Out, Russ Brandon Promoted to CEO
  It all gonna come down to the coach as the starting point. Lovie Smith sounds pretty good then use him to attract a good offensive coordinator....
• Commented on Final Push to Save Bethlehem Steel Today
  It was in a tough area to get a developer interested. Had it been downtown it may have been another story. I don't know what your talking about, Szymanski knows what he's doing, Lackawanna a hot bed of activity, right?...
• Commented on Construction Watch: Cynthia Gardens
  What I think is frustrating people is many of the these housing projects/apartments lately are geared to low income families. Many of the people on Buffalo Rising are hoping to see more market rate apartments built/converted/refurbished etc. We need to...
• Commented on Bills Sign 10 Year Lease With $130 Million in Stadium Renovations
  You expect there to be 250 jobs immediately moving into a temporary space. That's numbers down the road once they got their own permanent building. Sounds like a good deal to me. I was expecting 225-250 million easy. This shores...
