name it "Nude Beach" and see if anyone takes the bait. :)
My list of potential beach names:
- Bureaucracy beach
- Brown's bluff
- Seriously! There's a beach here.
- Amherst doesn't have one of these!
I'm fine with the "Erie Basin Beach". Would be easier to tell people where it is.
There sure were a lot of people down at new beach today enjoying themselves. It's good to see so many people taking advantage of what the area has to offer.
Glad to see all the excitement over beaches, sad it took Buffalo so long to realize this. Now lets get that beach going by the Coast Guard Light house. The water is cleaner, calmer and out of the shipping lane. We probably could swim there.
Tons of people down there today building sand castles. We should have a sand castle contest later in the summer. Erie basin also needs to have canoe or paddle boat rentals , so people can get out on to the water if they don't own a boat.
What's wrong with "Erie Basin Beach"? It would make it just that much easier to find.
Thank you Newell for a great initiative! Emerald Beach sounds great,
Let's aim for the next project,remember, a wise man always keep himself in the back ground as the politicians congratulate themselves for implementing ideas and energy coming from the people/constituents, we all know who that "someone "is
How about Nussbaumer Point since you played a large role in the beach's creation?
I have been planning on asking Brian Davis to bring up a resolution to name it Newell Beach. Jstraubinger is right. Without Newell's suggestion to Brian Davis, that beach would not exist today. I noticed that in today's News, the story said that it all started when "someone" suggested to Brian Davis that the beach should become utilized.
I suggest that as many of us as possible contact city council members as well as Mayor Brown and explain why Newell Beach would be the most appropriate name.
James Griffin Memorial Beach Pretty sure he had a little something to do with the beach being there in the first place.
You could call it "horrible tragic death beach" and acknowledge the fact that eventually, most likely sooner than later, someone is going to ignore the no swimming sign and drown...
i think its only natural that we name it city beach , in fact , ive already been calling it that for 3 weeks now . Yes , i think ill go down to "City" beach in a little while , because "City" beach is where its at !
Without question it must be named Darling Daughter Beach. This assertion is based on the traditional bit of doggerel below.
Mother may I go out to swim, Yes my darling daughter, Hang your clothes on a hickory limb, But don't go near the water.
I checked out the beach yesterday. It's very cool and the whole area is starting to take shape and become a hangout for all ages. To me it will always be "Deadly Current Beach." Those signs are crazy overkill, but it would be hard to say that you were not warned. The waves must have been 2 or 3 inches high, therefore, "Pacific Beach" would also be a fitting name.
PCBeach (j/k) couldn't help myself..
I think City Beach is nice because it reflects the fact that it is is downtown. Buffalo Beach would be an obvious options also but then what happens if Times Beach or the Bell Slip Beach ever get attention. Maybe being in downtown also anchors it as Buffalo Beach better than others might. Whatever the name is it should help locate the beach in people's mind. It should be obvious and reflective of place. Leave our names or politicians or famous people that no one really knows... They only confuse people.
I'm not so sure that Times Beach II would be a good name. Times Beach is also the name of the now-demolished town in Missouri that was an even larger toxic disaster than Love Canal.
Hah! Basinette. I like it! Reflective of its' small size and proximity Erie Basin Marina.
Laird3rd - I think that paddle boat or canoe rentals is an awesome idea! I don't know why something like this couldn't happen? It's nice to see people thinking outside the box!
ditto--Buffalo Beach. It's an oxymoron to people from elsewhere and that's good.
Years ago there was a beach not far from this one called Times Beach. I don't know what the origin is, but I can remember a lot of good times there. It's funny, but there was no life guard on duty there either, but back then we all swam anyway. Mother's sat under umbrellas, kids made sand castles and dad's washed their cars. It was at the foot of Michigan avenue. Times Beach II is my vote.
Driftwater Beach
Driftwood Beach
Correct me if I am wonrg but wasnt there a ton of drfit wood and rocks there prior to opeing the area up?
