"The Benchmark In City Luxury Rentals"
This morning marked a grand day for the Buehl Block Building. Once the subject of a Charles Burchfield painting (Rainy Night), today the building is reliving its former glory as a prime redevelopment project downtown. It's hard to believe that this was a mere rooming house not long ago, and that soon it will be filled with both residents and a coffee shop. Not only is the building striking, it is located in a premiere location that is visible from blocks around. Enjoy the following podcast from the ribbon cutting - it describes (abridged version) the stages of the project and gives thanks to those that made it all possible. The podcast leads in with developer Roger Trettel at the mic.

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

Hoyt Pulls Funding From West Side NHS
Ever since ArtVoice broke the news about the suspicious ousting of West Side housing activist Harvey Garrett from the board of West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, everyone has been wondering: What will happen next? Will this stick? Will there be some kind of investigation? When will the other shoe drop?
One dropped yesterday. In a letter to board Chairman Ramon Morales, Assemblyman Sam Hoyt announced his intention to pull his legislative initiative funding from West Side … - Yesterday, 5:10pm

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

Do you think they will sponsor a 'curiosity tour'? Maybe we could put together a Downtown 'home show' for potential residents and investors, I am sure that the views and urban feel might attract some prospective residents.
I can't move to an apartment; however I would really like the chance to see some of the new living spaces downtown.

Well, yes Tinker! There will be a Downtown Housing Tour again this year during Old Home Week- it is scheduled for July 7th between noon and 4 pm. Last year we had 12 properties with units open for viewing- this year we're aiming for 15 or so, including several new ones. Free and self-guided. Mark your calendar.

This is another small, but important step forward for downtown. However, I think there needs to be a bigger emphasis on ownership. The more owners that downtown can attract, the better.

I was checking out this building in late fall... Wow! But for what they're charging for rent you can actually own something very nice in a nice area, downtown, or Allentown.
