Mauro Means Art!

I was intrigued when I saw some media coverage of the Guitars for Hope campaign that is aimed to benefit: Hunters Hope, Kelly for Kids, and WNED. I cruise to work the next day & discover that some of the guitars are being displayed in our atrium (no such thing as coincidence). I think to myself- time for a much over-do BR article; what a fun way to learn more about this public art project and at the same time meet a contributing artist. One of the guitars immediately caught my attention so I contacted the creator and set up an interview. When I sat down with Tony Mauro Sr. I was all set to cover the public project, the genesis of his creation and some of his other Buffalo endeavors. What morphed instead is pretty special.

Most Buffalo lovers hate the term eshovel-readyi and with good reason. It is the term property owners and officials love to use to justify demolition of property, usually downtown. Believe it or not, Buffalo IS lacking shovel-ready land. Not for office or residential projects, but for new industrial development.

Until today I had no idea that Buffalo was sorely missing a soccer club. Then General Manager of the (soon to be) Queen City Football Club, Christopher Keem, sent me an email wondering if we would like to hear about his plan to form a team in Buffalo. He's been working with the SBA since Octob…
