Update: 141 Elm Street
It looks like owner Kevin Townsell will not be moving forward with a residential conversion of the Hager Lumber Building at 141 Elm Street.
The property, former home of the Spaghetti Warehouse, Your Father's Moustache, and several others bars and restaurants, has just been listed with CB Richard Ellis for sale or lease. The three-story, 1873 vintage building between William and Clinton was once a lumber mill operated by E.M. Hager & Sons. Townsell had been considering placing up to 32 residential units in the building that has been vacant since SensationZ closed in 2004.
The property is listed at $990,000 and according to the listing agent there have been 'numerous inquiries' since the property quietly came on the market two weeks ago. Full architectural plans were drawn for conversion to residential but the owner has decided to divest of the property for various reasons. Get Connected: Robert Roller, CB Richard Ellis- 855-3700

Carl's Constitutional Convention
Carl Paladino is shaking it up once again, and next to the calling for the toll barriers to come down, this may be a hit with the general public.
"I'm asking our legislative candidates to vote for a Constitutional Convention," Paladino said. "This can happen every twenty years, the last time being 1996, but it hasn't been done since 1938."
Paladino's objective, he says, is to get both houses to vote by majority for a referendum on the ballot. This, he explains, would put to vo … - Today, 1:28pm

Hoax Revisited
The Nicole Kidman/Studio Arena hoax that recently hit the media is an opportunity for some discussion about the way news travels these days, and begs comment on the phrase "Any publicity is good publicity".
After speaking with someone closely related to Studio Arena, who wishes to stay anonymous, it seems like the Kidman hoax was timed perfectly—in order to circumvent corroboration—and named just the right names in order to look plausible. Add to that the fact that many of t … - Today, 12:51pm

Local Advertising Firm To Receive National Attention

Casino Construction Suspension
Now that the Senecas have suspended construction on both their embattled Buffalo Creek Casino and an expansion on their Salamanca site, the question is for how long and why.
Seneca Gaming Corporations (SGC) Public Relations Manager Philip Pantano says that the time frame is indefinite and the reason is based on a downturn in casino operations across the country, though he says the Seneca facilities have experienced growth of double-digit increases in the last two quarters.

Do we know why?
With the current loft-mania going on downtown, someone else will surely snatch up that property.

I think that those dedicated towards revitalizing Buffalo should redevelop it instead. I am sure that some of us who frequent this site would love to redevelop this building. Well, lets do it. If you are interested in getting involved please email me at phillipsgm@hotmail.com and introudce yourself. Hopefully this site can evolved into a portal for community activism.
Here is the link to the CBRE listing of the property. http://www.cbre.com/NR/rdonlyres/29D9AB37-6330-4F0B-A7B8-E21C245F2EE8/321747/141Elm2.pdf

Its a shock to me that Elm Street and Elmwood do not have any Elm Trees!
Sounds ironic but youd think that a city with trees for names of so many of its prominent streets would care about landscaping and visual appeal of the neighborhood.
Sometimes the level of poverty and apathy in Buffalo is exhausting. How much could it cost to plant a tree in front of your business or home?

"Its a shock to me that Elm Street and Elmwood do not have any Elm Trees!"
well... On the money side there is Fundable.org, and I know there are tree-planting organizations, like:here, here, and here, as well as some great old original, Olmsteadian(?) tress here, all of which I found using BR.O's own search tool. Gosh, but we're not bad, are we? Nice work Figmo & Zack (& crew)
