My Favorite Buildings
After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …

If You See This Posting, You're at the Wrong Site
We've updated Buffalo Rising. Some people haven't seen it yet, though, so if you're seeing this post, you need to refresh your browser to be taken to the new www.buffalorising.com. If hitting refresh alone doesn't do it, hold the *shift* key and hit refresh. If that doesn't work and you still see this old version of the site, try going to this story. That should certainly take you to the new site and from there, you can navigate around the new BuffaloRising.com.

Buffalo -- and Buffalo Rising -- is amazing.
I was just writing this post when I logged on and found it already up..! (and I thought everyone was already down at Thursday at the Square...) Thanks, guys!
Wear your dancing shoes and bring your best iconic Buffalo band suggestions for the Block Party. We're ready to book!

Joshua - the Happy To Be Here Hours are FREE -- there is never an entry fee. That said, it's a buy-your-own scene (not open bar ;- ) The Town Ballroom has a bar but no kitchen. We're brainstorming a bit right now about food.
We generally have these monthly soirees in restaurants, so food is not an issue. But this is a special Block Party preview/promo. Suggestions re food are welcome. It's been suggested that I whip up a few batches of signature Buffalo Old HOme Week salsa and bring a bunch of chips -- but I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for this solution this week LOL...
FlyGuy - Yeah, the GooGoo Dolls are the perfect act for this event. We've been told that this is not even vaguely possible...but I am well known to be pathologically optimistic, so I've still got my fingers crossed and will continue to hold my breath. Wouldn't that just ROCK?! This would vault the entire event into high gear and seal its success, particularly were it possible to announce it (versus a surprise appearance). Even a cameo appearance by Robby would be wonderful gift. Any ideas on how to make this happen?

Oh I guess I am being optimistic also. I'm driving back home from central Virginia where I now live with a couple of Virginians and will be giving them the Bufalo tour of the sites that doesnt just come from a brochure. I know the streets and can get around the city and pretty much talk the whole way through it and up through the Tonawandas and Falls as well for that matter. I just think the event would "Rock" as you stated if we were able to land a band like the goo goo dolls considering we will have in town and relocated Buffalonians as well as some out of towners who have never been to the area before. What a first impression a live Goo Goo Dolls concert would bring to them!!! And what a great time!!!! PLus it would give the band a second chance to get a concert in Buffalo with nice weather instead of the drenching they got on the 4th of July a few years back although I must say it made for a great concert on DVD. I would suggest that the best possible way to get a concert like that would be to get one of the band members ears and let them know about the venue and how its for Buffalo, for the home crowd and hopefully for thousands of relocated folks as well.
