Saving some great Buffalo architecture

Buffalo can not continue living in the past. We must move forward. If there is a building with historic significance put up a plaque. Otherwise stand back and let the future come.

Yeah I do, but not, thank god, in your town. Go ahead and work to turn your city into a shitty little paean to the present.

Buffalo's Long Decline

It would be nice to be optimistic about the outcome of these efforts at preservation. The article has accompanying photos of some lovely buildings.

This was a good article. I hope Buffalo has some bounce left in it...in Toronto we grew up in its declining shadow (anyone remember Captain Kangaroo, Captain Tom and Promo the Robot).

But I don't know what it's comeback would be based on.

Buffalo was once ...

the second largest city in the US and has some truly great architectural treasures. After the loss of the Larkin Building (before anyone really cared about historic preservation,) preservationists in Buffalo have been strong and vigilent. Nothing pictured in the article is currently under much of any threat.
When the article states, however, "the federal government is considering a plan that could wipe out part of a historic neighborhood." the writers are being totally misleading! What they are talking about is the long stalled project to "twin" or totally replace the Peace Bridge. There are some old buildings that would have to be demolished, but any historic or architectural significance is really, really stretching it (due to some neighborhood "nimbys" with some political pull.)
Put up a plaque or two and get on with it (even a broken clock is right twice a day, eh Smurfpoop?) If the professional bridge people had been permitted to implement their original proposal, traffic would be crossing the twin Peace Bridges as we speak.:cool:
 
Quite what one does to restore Buffalo to it's former greatness I don't know, if I did I'd move and run for Governor :rolleyes:

Buffalo although it has many blighted neighborhoods, also has very nice areas and an attractive center city core. Certainly restoring public access to the lakeshore and the Niagara River - which has already begun is essential.
 
I don't think anyone has any clue what could possibly be done to save Buffalo. Unfortunately there are more blighted neighborhoods here than architectural treasures. Our local politicians of both parties are stupid or corrupt. There is no job base. I see nothing good in the future for it.

Its like the City of Niagara Falls NY. Even the casino isn't helping. The ex mayor Vince Anello is being investigated and I will put money on him going to jail.

Before judging the kind of barbaric jerk you are, let us all stop, hold our breath, and take into consideration: you're a regular poster on an escort review board.

Busted.:p
