UPDATE: Bashar has officially missed his plane and will not be speaking. The speaking engagement will hopefully be rescheduled.
Have you been wondering what is happening on the Statler Hotel project? Well, get the story straight from the man himself. Bashar Issa will speak tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. at the Statler Hotel. He will address the 2008 Buffalo Tours docent training class. Mr. Issa will talk about what work has been completed, historic tax credits, and why Buffalonians should be passionate about their city.
Mr. Issa’s talk will be followed at 11:30 by a one-hour tour of City Hall. David Granville will be our host and guide.
Come downtown Saturday at 10:30 a.m. for a most stimulating morning. Admission for this event is $10.
This event is sponsored by Buffalo Tours, a collaborative program of the Preservation Coalition of Erie County and the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier.
The Buffalo Tours 2008 tour season begins Saturday, May 3 with Downtown Revealed.
