Eleven Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 It spends half the winter closed too. Impractical. Now that's better reasoning. Quote
spndnchz Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 They close Delaware Avenue for a marathon every year, but we certainly need that. Not a fan of the Skyway, personally, but the logic wasn't too strong with that one! That looks like a great ride. And there's a beer tent and food trucks after! Whoop whoop! Also coming this summer is http://www.wnytours.com/tourinformation They provide the bike, helmet and tour guides for a historic trip around Buffalo. Quote

sabills Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Posted August 1, 2014 I pretty much have this reaction every time I walk around Canalside/Harborcenter etc. Quote
LabattBlue Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 I wonder if the main FNC sign on the arena is going to be redone so that as you walk towards the arena on Washington you can see the entire sign again? With HarborCenter construction, most of the sign is now blocked. Quote

I read a quote a while back from Koemel that it is definitely being looked at and they are looking at their options for sign placement to fix it. Quote

sabills Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 Kinda off topic, but now Pegula might buy the tower, too. http://buffalorising.com/2014/08/big-possible-deal-pegula-maybe-eyes-tower-purchase/ Quote

Doohicksie Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) It's about the same size and shape as the Bank One building in downtown Fort Worth. It was hit by a tornado in 2000, resulting in loss of almost all the glass on two sides of the building and a measurable twist in the building's structure. Thanks to asbestos used in the construction, implosion was not feasible. Bank One (now owned by Chase) built a new building a block or two over and abandoned the tower. It sat vacant for about 5 years until Fort Worth's version of TPegs bought it and remodeled the whole thing into residential. The plan was to sell some as condos and rent out the rest. In the end the whole thing went condo and is some of the most expensive real estate in the city. If Pegula buys this building, good things will certainly ensue.

If Pegula buys this building, good things will certainly ensue. "Hey, Ted. Anybody ever try to build vertical hockey rinks? Look into that for me." Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Right. If you ever vanish that will be the first place we look...in the cellar. Quote

LastPommerFan Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Retail stuff in HarborCenter http://buffalorising...d-retail-space/ Are they only going to allow translucent people in, or can normals go as well? Quote

Stoner Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Also, only young, thin and attractive people will be let into the area. It's Buffalo, so they'll have to be flown in. Quote
