Broadway-Fillmore Alive has posted their article on the building which we are now calling the Eckhardt Building after the family it was built for, whom opened Eckhardt’s Department Store in it, and who…

Dear Donn
ByDerekIf you’re going to make quotes like, “San Antonio doesn’t have a strip mall next to the Alamo” on the assumption that nobody in Buffalo has ever been to San Antonio, you should realize you’re going to get called on it. You know what The Alamo has around it? A mall, some chain restaurants, and…

They’re out there, and willing
ByDerekMary Kunz Goldman’s article about Alive Night came out today, and it was pretty good. BuffaloPundit ranked it an all new record-breaking low score of 1 on the mockability scale. I would have given it at least a 1.5 for poor fact checking (it’s broadwayfillmorealive.org and Paderewski Drive) but we can blame the editors for…

Underground exploration
ByDerekI have a lot of respect for urban explorers that get into places that most others would never attempt to go, just for the sake of documenting the decaying history of a place that would likely be forgotten. As you can imagine, Buffalo has lots of these types of places – grain silos, Bethlehem Steel,…

Quarry Market
ByDerekBack in December, I had the opportunity to travel to San Antonio, TX for work. While there I made it a point to see not only the Alamo and the Riverwalk, but an excellent example of adaptive reuse. Quarry Market is a beautiful new shopping center built on the former site of the Alamo Cement…

Very nice pics. Looks like you had a good time site seeing.
nice derek! thanks for the Rehoboth pics, My family used to go there when I was a kid.
Real Estate in Lewes and Rehoboth has been ruined by investors who have tried to make a quick buck with encouragement from real estate executives. The market will correct itself in 2007 and 2008 to everyones surprise. Now Realtors have learned a lesson and need to cater to the public who wish to buy and live in homes.These are the folks who will be their customers for long term. Certain markets such as Williamsburg, Virginia will not allow more than 5% of home sales to Investors in prestigious residential developments. Several new gated communities in NC and SC are enforcing that a buyer has to live for 2 years before “flipping” to discourage investors. So lets make the adventure a pleasant experience for the real buyer.”
I have not been to Lewes, DE. I have been offered a job in the area. We live in LA and were hoping for some input about the town. Is it nice just for a visit or could it be a good place to live for a while? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
Being a “good place to live” has drastically different meanings for different people. I’ve only been a tourist there, myself. The beachfront areas are nice. Cape Henlopen State Park was very nice. There are three huge outlet malls nearby. It has a small, Atlantic coastal town feel to it. If you’re looking for big city nightlife, or hustle and bustle, I would stay away.
