Its too bad that a little bit of beauty is in the midst of a whole lot of ugly.
There are areas here that we won’t drive through day or night.

I don’t understand why there is a problem in Buffalo. Hillary promised 250,000 new jobs to the region in 2000. Haven’t they arrived yet? After all they re-elected her for a 2nd term, she must have brought in at least 50,000 out of the 250,000 she said she would bring in through her connections? Hey, not a problem, she’ll get them now with Obama in, she can’t blame W anymore. Cheer up Buffalo, Change is coming?

It’s interesting to consider why these areas were settled in the first place, much less developed into major cities, when the weather is so horrendous. The fact that fine buildings were put up is a testament to man’s stubbornness.

One night back in '73 I spent a week there.

I lived next to the building in picture 6 of the slideshow for 5 years. It is one of the most incredible buildings I have ever seen. Walked through it nearly daily to get to campus. It is impressive, imposing, beautiful, and just an incredible piece of work.

Should it be saved? I believe so. But through private efforts, not taxpayer money.
