Former CTRC President Russell Pawlak has passed away

ByDerek

Former CTRC President, Russell Pawlak, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Russell was a tireless supporter of the Terminal, taking it from the pipe dream of a bunch of preservationists, to a successful event venue, bringing thousands of people per year back to the East Side of Buffalo. The Central Terminal Restoration Corporation would not be in the position it is today without his work.

Services will be held at the Buffalo Central Terminal Wednesday from 1pm-8pm. His obituary is reprinted at BuffaloCentralTerminal.org.

Flipped on a roll

ByDerek

Michele Johnson’s “Flipped” trailer is starting to get the attention of the local media. I stand by my viewpoint that eBay’s responsiblity is limited in this equation, although they could certainly help to alleviate the issue. What we really need to counteract the problem is tougher laws and enforcement in regards to fraudulently misrepresenting homes…
