Dear Liza, dear Liza
Anyone know why there’s a big gaping hole in the Aud? It’s been like this for a week or so.
It always bugs me that one of the much ballyhooed reasons to tear down the Skyway is because it would “make sense fiscally for Western New York in the long run.” But where is the actual math to back this up? Well, let’s start with what it costs to maintain the Skyway. Using the Good…
Each 4th of July party at our house is headlined by a smoked turkey. We usually pick an extra one (or three) up around Thanksgiving when they’re insanely cheap and keep it socked away in the freezer until a week before the 4th, when the defrosting process begins. This year’s bird was 19 lbs, and…
Apparently, there is no shortage of Skyway reuse ideas out there today. BuffaloGeek sets us up for an interview on this next week: While it’s a much better concept than Tielman Park, again, what problems does it solve? It’s an incredibly inefficient way to get to the outer harbor by foot, and it doesn’t solve…
Good article from the New York Times on the broader concept of free trade. I doubt there’s a human being on earth who hasn’t benefited from the opportunity to trade freely with his neighbors. Imagine what your life would be like if you had to grow your own food, make your own clothes and rely…
We had a little fun with the Christmas card this year – we had been waiting for some snow to take a “traditional” Christmas-y photo, but… like they say, if you can’t beat ’em join ’em! Hope everyone had a great 2015 and looking forward to an even better 2016!
It’s been six years since I’ve been out of school, and longer than that since I’ve had a summer vacation, so the only thing that somewhat delineates the summer period for me is the break our church choir takes for a few months. Our last choir mass was yesterday, so until sometime in September I…
I noticed a little graffiti in the hole there as well. The same thing happened to the large Ford plant building on Route 5 a few months ago. I think it was wind, and it took a while for that to get fixed.
There is graffitti in the hole. I wasn’t sure if the hole was created by hooligans to show off their work, or if the hole was created by workers or wind and just exposed existing graffitti.
It’s cheap way of performing asbestos remediation. Knock a hole in the wall and it will just blow on out. 🙂
I’ve been trying to take a closer look as I drive by and my guess is that someone got into the building, got up there on the inside, spray painted the concrete block wall which looks to be very close to the exterior metal panel wall, and then knocked the panel out. I’ll try to get better pictures.
I gotta give you credit for being able to take this photo while driving on the Skyway. Do you think this is some elaborate work of a graffitti artist? Maybe…
Hang onto the damn wheel!!!
You guys make it sound so difficult. I just held my phone up to the window, clicked, and got the shot I got. It’s not like I was looking through a viewfinder, focusing, selecting the proper shutter, aperture, and ISO speed settings, and then taking the shot. Traffic was slow anyways because it was exiting.
