More Residences for Main Street
Another small Main Street building is going residential. Three loft apartments plus ground-floor retail are planned for 535 Main Street, owned by Seymour Investments. The four-story, 6,800 sq.ft. building where Rose Nails has occupied the ground floor is prominently located across from the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
The largely intact block of 1880-90 vintage buildings is seeing a surge of new investment. Residential units were planned in the upper floors of 537 Main, the former Arbyis where Greveris Florist is now located. The status of that conversion project is unknown. Around the corner, Downtown CBD Investors LLC recently purchased 5 Genesee Street (Texas Red Hots) for $165,000. Two apartments plus retail space are planned at SPA Lofts, 9 Genesee Street.

The County Budget: Revenue, Reduction, Restoration, Resol …
The Erie County Legislature has approved an amended 2009 Erie County budget in a "surgical approach" by accepting the amendments approved last week by the Finance, Management and Budget Committee, but - much to County Executive Chris Collins' dismay - eliminating his previously proposed tax rate increase.
By holding the line on property taxes, Collins' $1.2 billion proposal was cut by about $9.5 million, while providing for essential services such as public safety, health, huma … - Today, 12:00am

Sabres V Preds Game 24
Four games in 6 nights certainly marks a rough patch in a schedule, and the Buffalo Sabres showed what kind of toll it can take by losing to the Nashville Predators 2-0 on home ice.
To be fair, both teams played an uninspired game from start to finish, which makes sense when you consider that the Predators played 3 games in 5 nights. There were few exciting scoring chances on either side of the ice and the game's pace was both stilted and broken. It was likely due to the coache … - Yesterday, 4:26pm

Kabab and Curry Express To Open In University District
From Hoss: "Is Kabob and Curry opening at the old Mondo location on Elmwood, or Main? I haven't been to their primary eatery on Transit, but I hear they serve the best Indian food around."
Kabab and Curry will open in about two weeks at the former Mondo Video location... approximately mid-December. I understand that it will be more of a take-out operation than the existing restaurant located on Transit Road. It appears as if the Transit eatery attracts a lot of university student … - Yesterday, 4:24pm

Good news - now it needs to move further down the line until you hit Mohawk St. Although smaller in scale than most of downtown, this could make for a great and functional urban village. Once it gets to the other end, it ties in with the Old McDonald's rehab, while on the Washington St. side you have Holling Place and the new townhomes across the street, in addition to Iskalo's spot at the old Howard Shoe's. Not mention the other side of Main having the Hyatt (to be a Marriott Marquis - Hopefully still) and the Belesario.

Nailhead: Only corporate chains such as Trader Joes, Ikea or Pottery Barn are welcome in the "new" Buffalo.
Didn't you get the memo while drinking an overpriced latte at Spot and pretending to be a yuppie from either Park Slope, the Haight or Harvard Square?
It is amazing how most of the folks that proclaim themselves to be the "new" Buffalo are only a few years/months/days removed from places like Lackawana, Lockport and Kenmore. Furthermore, it blows my mind to witness the brutual disdain these new "new" Buffalo types have for those like Rose Nails who have actually invested in the City and made it a unique and distinct community.
Hopefully there will be fewer lofts and more condos for those with families.
