Why Not Invite the Taxpayer?
"The News reports that an invite-only party will celebrate the re-opening of Asbury Delaware United Methodist Church as an arts center. Iim all for private parties and so on but since the taxpayers spent millions on this project, perhaps they could have been invited as well."
I have been intently watching the renovations of "Our Lady of Righteous Babe" and cannot WAIT to get inside!
A thrilling event. I recall the days when part of that intersection was blocked-off because of falling pieces of the building. Now its another reborn jewel in the crown of Buffalo's architecture. And so relevant and functional; definitely in step with 21st Century urban America.
I had the pleasure of spending a good part of the day at the "Starlight Gallery" to do some work for their promotion. That gallery/workspace is on Delaware right across the street from the Church. The weather today was great; I saw the workers buzzing around to get work done for the weekend. I spent some time walking to the sandwich shop down the street. I just couldn't get over the things I can envision for that block in the months/years to follow the opening of the Church. Thanks to Ani and Hallwalls for being a HUGE artistic spark for this town! Hey, if the taxpayer wants to get in , why not go to Hallwalls 1st opening in the building on Saturday?
