Sue Ann Simonin received City approvals to tear down a 1940’s ranch at 25-27 Rumsey (entry image) in anticipation of constructing her dream home last year. Her plans for the new residence ran into a buzzsaw of neighborhood opposition but finally received the necessary approvals to build in April. On Thursday she sold the site to an adjoining property owner. … - Yesterday, 9:01pm

Great Public Spaces: Route 5 Lands In The PPS 'Hall of Shame'
Here's something to ponder over the weekend. The Route 5 debacle has just snagged a spot in the organization Project for Public Spaces' Hall of Shame. After reading RaChaCha's post on the Ten Great Qualities of a Great Street (criteria from PPS), a couple of members of the organization (who saw the post) flew into Buffalo. RaChaCha and I toured them around and showed them all of the Cobblestone District advancements as well as the area in and around the Commercial Slip. When they … - Yesterday, 6:26pm

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 … - Yesterday, 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 … - Yesterday, 12:51pm

Bidwell was fun but I could have done without the toxic BBQ grills, isn't gas greener? Also, way too many dogs pissing all over the place.

It's great for Hertel to get this community event. Nice tie-in to the Italian Festival, although I would like to see it expanded to an international theme, like the street, in the future.
The Italian film festival on Elmwood worked best in the parking lot setting, so I'm hopeful about this venue. Having it later in the summer will let the movies start a little earlier - an issue before.
One complaint: THERE'S TOO MUCH TO DO IN BUFFALO!
