Tru-Teas The Publication Of "Tea Leaves"
It’s really a shame if you missed the reading series “Poetry at the Tea House” that took place at Tru-Teas! during this past year. Luckily, Trudy Stern didn’t want anyone to miss out and teamed up with Michael Morgulis to produce an incredibly fine, unbound book entitled “Tea Leaves” to commemorate the readings and spread the work of the local poets who partook in the program.
In honor of the publication of this special edition portfolio, Morgulis and Stern are hostin … - Today, 6:47am

Give the people what they want.
I think that I would like to start off this post by commending the three Common Council members who were bold enough to ask for today's bizarre Waterfront Village decision to be tabled. David Franczyk, Mickey Kearns and Mike LoCurto all stuck to their guns when it came to holding off on making any hasty (and potentially tragic) decisions regarding our waterfront. Unfortunately, their headstrong stance was outweighed by the rest of the BURA committee, and the rumors are flying as t … - Yesterday, 7:52pm

The Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency this morning named Specialty Restaurants Incorporation as preferred developer for the prime 1.4 acre parcel at 10-15 LaRiviere Drive.

Good thing they left off the hideous leasing banner on the back of the electric tower. If you come from the back of the building it makes it lose some of its charm. Was that taken from the hollings press building?

Very exciting time for the nickel city. A city's downtown is much like a home's foyer. The foyer says alot about what you're going to find once you come inside. That's why so many developers now are focusing their attention on foyers and front doors on most new homes. fortunately for Buffalo the infrastructure is for the most part intact. I currently reside in a city that has to construct new buildings to look like they're about 80 years old, because most people want character that you don't generally find in new architecture.

Marcia,
And the proportions, details, materials, and craftsmanship in the reproductions are almost never convincing.
But we're still tearing down the real things left and right, all over the country.
A beautiful photograph above! I showed it to my business partners and employees this morning. Their enthusiastic reaction: "Where's that?!!" To the answer, "Downtown Buffalo," the response is a cautious, hesitant, "Really?" Wish the experience of walking around downtown Buffalo gave the same impression as this photograph, but maybe with time ...

Great photo! I live in NYC and showed this pic. to my coworkers and they thought it was a picture of a city in Europe. They were really shocked when I told them that it was Buffalo, NY. I'm glad that Buffalo has decided to retain it past while creating its future.

Also, work seems to be going on in the commercial space of the Sidway; I believe they're putting in a martini bar after all.

Thanks all, and thanks to wcp for posting this image. It was both an honor and a surprise...a friend and loyal reader (and fellow photographer) tipped me off about it, I'm glad y'all have enjoyed it.
This photo was taken from the Holling Place (Press) building, just before a lake storm rolled in last August. You can find a few more images from that day here.
You can also find more of my Buffalo images here.
Please contact me if you wish to use or purchase any of my images, thanks!
