An Inside Out Open House On Putnam
We've been following their progress along the way, and seeing the transformation that has taken place is simply incredible. From a decrepit and forgotten old structure, littered with waste, the students created a wide-open and inviting home with truly unique architectural styling.
The project is a lesson for the community as much as for the students. May their work force us to reexamine our buildings and our neighborhoods, and imagine the possibilities within them both.
Stop by and see what they've done... I'm certain you've seen nothing like it before. The house will be open for visitors from 12-8PM this Saturday, May 5.

Silent/Sound Outdoor Film Festival
Columbus Park could be one of the most underutilized parks in Buffalo. It also has a ton of untapped potential. There are bike trails and walkways leading through the heart of it as well as a ton of old growth trees. I’m sure that the park is used by the neighbors, but unlike parks like Johnson, Days, etc., I rarely see activities and events taking place there. As a matter of fact, I don’t recall ever seeing an event or gathering at Columbus Park.

According to Joy McDuffie, Foreclosure Prevention Specialist at the WNY Law Center, don’t believe everything you hear about foreclosures in Buffalo – they’re still a real problem.

This is one more reason why WNY needs UB to be more involved in the community.
Great job.

I hope everyone comes down for this on Saturday. You really have to see it to believe it. This house went from falling down to one of the most stable wooden structures in the city (thanks to an entire flatbed of donated steel). And one of the coolest loft layouts. It's still in the stud-stage but I think everyone will enjoy evisioning what it will look like when it's finished.
Oh, and there's that whole turning the crank and watching the front of the house spin around - that could be fun too.
