And in more churchy news... that Buffalo church that's being moved to Georgia? Here's the story from their perspective

Completely unrelated: Wanna buy a steamboat? Only $4.5M Now that would be a sight for the harbor!

    I didn't follow the links but I have a legal question for you. Gambling is illegal (except if you have indian land or slots at a racetrack) but say if said boat was on lake ontario but left from buffalo could you have a River Boat Casino? Maybe even start it from where the falls end? I mean past them?

    @metalpeter - Interesting question. The border of NYS extends into the lakes until it touches the border of Canada (see gmap: :::link::: )

    In other words, there's no international waterway in which the gambling would be completely unregulated. Most states along the Mississippi River have forms of legalized boat gambling, varying by state. Illinois allows gambling in on any river and Lake Michigan in/near Chicago.

    Ontario has its own restrictive gambling laws but I don't know much about them.

    I think they definitely should send that church to Georgia. I don't know how people can really fight it? I believe in saving building and everything in general , but frankly there are too many in Buffalo to save and if there is a good reuse like that for it than I say go for it. There are plenty of abandoned churches/buildings that have no use and fall into disrepair and I am sure this one would be no different.
