Not to be Forgotten: Columbus Home Tour
Though in recent weeks, the architectural tragedy of the crumbling White Livery Stables (just East of the Columbus Park Neighborhood) has taken precedence in the headlines, this neighborhood needs to be remembered for the endangered area that it is.
Mecca and Wachaldo will take you through the historic community and introduce you to the residents who live there. While you take in the beauty of the neighborhood, you'll find it unthinkable that it would be taken apart for any reason. Hopefully, this will be a tour for many years to come, without threat of demise.
Lay to death the Joni Mitchell lyric, "You don't know what you've got til it's gone," and appreciate what we have now through the eyes of the people who live there. This is a preventable tragedy.
Assemble Saturday, June 28 at 1:00PM
at the corner of Columbus Parkway and Columbus Park West

The president sits at his desk, letter in hand, cup of coffee in the other, and begins reading as you look over his shoulder. You are no editor, but after the first three sentences you can't help but notice at least two grammatical errors. The president immediately puts the letter in the garbage and picks up the next one.

Update: Buffalo Riverfest Park
In a BRO thread (yesterday), KenS inquired as to what was happening with the plans for Riverfest Park. Here is his request:
Speaking of plans in action, could you do a follow-up on the Buffalo River Park? Last time you wrote about it, the organizers had 1 mil+ in the bank and were supposed to be doing phase one this year. Other than a sign on the fence, what happened to phase 1?

Resident DJ Greg will be serving up some of the most current tunes in the electronic music world, which until now was hard to come by in the downtown scene.
