Before I forget I picked up this weeks Artvoice on the way home from the bank, man there are some cuties working there. They Have a verry intrersting article about the Elmwood Village Hotel. It covers a bunch of differant points of view. There is one part that seems like an attack on the Buffalo News. I wish those two would just give there thoughts with out attacking each other, other then that it is a good article. There is another interesting article about the banning of Hoddies at the Regal movie Theatre. I had never heard of this but I do go during the day and havn't been in some time. There is a third piece I havn't read yet about improvment ideas for the HSBC Arena. I'm going to the Bandits game tonight so hopefully I will read it then when at the game look at some of those improment ideas and see what I think. One thing they suggested was doing something with the adelphia Internet kisok area that hasn't been used in a long time. I know somepeople don't agree with a lot of what artvoice says and thinks it is a shitty paper but I think this week they may like it. Oh by the way "Buffalo What"
"B'andits" "Lets go Bandits, Lets go Bandits" " B O X B O X, To The Box To Box To the Box Box Box" . Sorry I had to add that, if Tavares gets one more point he sets the record for most points ever in the league.


The main reason to get this weeks artvoice if you are someone who likes to have there opions heard this is a good week. They have another buffalo's best Ballot. There are at least two Catogories that everyone here might be interested in Best Blog and best website. .

I started reading the Arena article then remembered the other thing in artvoice that is in italics. Hopefully that link leads to the hsbc arena part. Yeah it does lead to the article that I found interesting agreed with some of it and not all of it. But that reminds me I saw some of the Pat Lafonte Jersy being raised in the HSBC Arena on TV last night that was preaty cool. But couldn't stay up for the game.I'm supposed to be going to one more game next week with work. That should be a lot of fun.

There is an interesting article in artvoice it is the cover story and can be found at www.artvoice.com . For any one who is interested in reading it is right there at artvoices website. In a previous journal [inlink]metalpeter,460[/inlink] I posted a long artvoice article about the writers trip to china. Towards the end of the article the writer presents idea about how the NFTA should expand the Niagara falls airport and how they could get a ot of flights from other countries. He mentions that Buffalo or Niagara Falls (if don't count them as the same) is in a great cental area for people from other countires to go to boston, toronto, montreal and a bunch of other big cities. Recntly I have read a Buffalo news article where they bascily dismissed or said this idea was stupid (if I remember correctly). I wish I would have thought to post it at that time. I'm guessing by now it is archieved but not sure. In any event in the new artvoice article they attack the Buffalo News and even give some exmples of bad ideas the Buffalo News supported. There general point there was that since so many people read the news they helped push there idea on the people and the city of Buffalo. Not sure if I really agree with that or not but it is a good point. From what I have read on both sides I agree with artvoice (or the writer of the article). I can remember years ago when the Concord was the most famous plane but it couldn't land in Buffalo because the runway wasn't long enough. That is the advantage the NF airport has you can land huge planes there and form asia it takes just as long to fly to the east coast as it does west coast. That seems had to belive but I assume there facts are correct. I think that the steps taken to improve the airport and get international flights into Buffalo is a great idea. Do I think a China town will form like in the article, no but it would be possible I think just dismissing the idea is a bad idea. Don't be affrid to chime in, even if it is to say who gives a fuck.
