If These Walls Could Talk...#2
STEEL
This attractive, unassuming and, slightly odd little house (pictured center) has an equally odd history to go with its architecture. It is not the site of a major event nor was it the home of an important person. As a matter of fact it was not originally built as a home at all. This building at 132 Cottage Street in Allentown was constructed in 1887 as the home of the Buffalo Bicycle Club. It was used for Club meetings, events and recreation. In the early d…

The following is an email to BRO from Adam O'Brian about the potential Rails-2-Trails program in WNY. I supplied a general background piece on the trail; a brochure that was developed and that I worked on with the Good Neighbors Planning Alliance as well as two pictures of the area that I took a while back.

Redevelopment Opportunity- Main and Mohawk
West Coast Perspective
If there's one corner that represents downtown's past and future, it is the corner of Main and Mohawk. It was once the center of the downtown shopping district as L.L. Bergers, Hengerer's and Hens & Kelly's were located nearby. The storefronts located in the 400 and 500 blocks of Main contained small shops and restaurants feeding off the pedestrian tr…

This beauty is on the south side of Lexington Avenue between Elmwood and Delaware. It is just another example of what makes Buffalo so special. As extraordinary as this house is, it is quite ordinary in this Elmwood neighborhood. One thing that does make it extra special is that it is in "like new" condition and always has been over the 100 ye…

Detroit- Super Bowl Smash
West Coast Perspective
With an estimated 100,000 out-of-towners in the city and viewers in 200 countries, more eyes were on Detroit Sunday than any day in its history. Detroit, a symbol of American industrial strength and a symbol of urban decay, has an inferiority complex. Since the NFL awarded Detroit the game in late 2000, the city was preoccupied …

Iid like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank the many people who, by their very actions, give Buffalo itis well-deserved reputation as a caring, friendly, helpful city. Whether itis a familiar good neighbor or a complete stranger, compared to many other cities, people here simply seem to be more willing to lend a helping hand. Of course, I donit know all of these good Samaritans, but I can give a ihatis offi to the three who came to my rescue Sunday afternoon. I had just stopped by Hoyt Lake to take a photo as the snow fell. When I returned to my car a minute later, it wouldnit start. Nothing. Not a sound.

There is a little street called Coe Place on the western edge of the East Side. It quite possibly could serve as a catalyst for reinvigoration of a large part of this long suffering area of the city. It has endured many of the ravages common to much the East Side but survives mostly intact today. The tight composition of houses, pushed up close to a na…
