Yes It still happens. I used to do it every year. It was fun. But then I got out of shape and it hurt to run that far. I would always plan to work out and run but i never do. Plus there are the bad knees to. But yes it does still takeplace every thanksgiving morning.

I'm tired of waking up at 3:15am in the morning. If I had a young hottie I would never make it into work; Cause she would keep me up all night. Or at least she wouldn't let me leave in the morning. Plus having someone to hold on to makes you sleep better. At the very least it would be cool to talk to someone before I go to bed even if it was just on the computer. Oh yeah as I am dreaming I might as well dream about getting a new job also.

[inlink]hodown,70[/inlink] I like the pics. It is nice that you can see some of the city in the background.

[inlink]southernyankee,63[/inlink] I love those boots. They are not do ya or hooker boots but they still look great an gals. I love the user pic also, yeah the stars could be smaller so we could see more but the pic is still awesome.

[inlink]soyeon,106[/inlink] I think soyeon looks fine from her pictures and dosn't need a hair dryer. I want to see skycaptain and the world of tomorow it looks like it will be very good. When I went out this morning it looked very warm out. It is warm untill you feal that artic wind. Dam that wind is cold. Or maybe that is because the wind is blowing over Pano's heart. I Really think he is most likely a good guy but what he is doing is wrong this time. On a side note I watched Step Into liquid, it was very good. I may go to part of the demonstration today. I'm a mellow person and as much as I don't agree with what Pano is doing I don't know as I have the right to tell him not to do it. I can say I'm opposed but in the end it is his decission and he has to live with it. That assumes I don't frezze to death on my way there. I hope Pano changes his mind. Am I only one who feals pressure not to go into buisnesses that on elmwood that are part of a house instead of a building. When I look at them I think it would be cool to see what is in there since it is bulit into a house. But It also would seem odd to walk up the steps and enter into someones house even though it is a business. I guess I'm just strange that way.

[size=m] If Pano really wants more parking Space there is a a good way to do it and stay true to Elmwood. Since he owns the house he should open up a resturant in thE house then once it is open and the bugs are worked out then he could demolish Pano's and have a huge lot. Wouldn't eating in an old house be cool. He could add a balcony or large porch to the building outback so people could still eat out side. That would be the right thing to do. [/size]

[inlink]jessbob,59[/inlink] I think there is a protest in front of Pano's at noon on saturday. I may go to it. I'm not a big protest person. I do belive the House should not be nocked down. I do belive it is a big mistake. I love pano's but don't go there very often like I would like to. Now I won't go at all. One thing I don't like about protests is I feal like i'm being watched. Protests usaly only show one side that of the protesters. That being said I may have to go anyways.

I signed the online petition. It would be cool if there was also an offline one that others who don't have internet access could sign. But I understand that going door to door is tough. It also means explaining your politcal view on saving old buildings to people who may not be receptive. But an internet petition is still good.

I'm so glad it is thursday. 3 days off Yes! I may go to the falls I don't know what I'm doing yet. Sunday is football day of course.

[inlink]jessbob,57[/inlink] The Rapid transit is not what killed Downtown Buffalo. What hurt downtown is the fear of young blacks and school kids and Sprawl. The street behind main street works fine. That is how most people get to the Arena. The mall went down hill once The big Chain stores Left Like The Bon-ton and others. Then all the teenagers hung out in the maill. That pushed away the people who worked downtown from going there. The courtyard mall was cool but it left and turned into the malls foodcourt kind o' sort of. The movies downtown decided they wanted to mostly show movies that where for young teens. They pushed out most of the adult movies. Then the few that they did have for adults no one wanted to go because of all the young black teenagers. You know things are bad when two McDonalds and Burger king go out of Buiness. Also the street that goes down to Peral street grill works fine. So meny people come downtown for square and for The chip strip But that isn't enough to make downtown great again. What would have made the train a lot more sucessfull would be if it connected from UB out to the Suburbs. But people out there like at the galleria would yell that it would bring the city out to them. But that would make it work better.

There are 2 kinds of people. Those who use or have used the metro rail. They say it is great. I used to use it a lot it is so much better then then never running nasty main bus.

The second kind are the people who say it goes no where and was a waste of money, Those people never used it. So they don't relise how it hooks all the bus ruoutes togather.

That being said i'm not all for a trolly sdystem on elmwood. I think it is a great idea and would be awesome. I think it would be great to get the cars off of elmwood. But I also think it has to be done the right way. There would have to be a good way to hook it up with buses. Could you imagine taking a bus then having to get off the elmwood bus and then get back on the trolly. It would have to be big or run very often and it would have to have a way to pick up people on wheel chairs. If done the right way I think it is a good idea.

[inlink]terry,309[/inlink] I have a few questions about the trolly service. First of all where would it start and end?; Elmwood is a long street. Would it be free or cost money? How Much would the huge lots cost to park in? Would there be security in the lots. How high would the lots be?, isn't there some ordanices about new buliding heights or levels on elmwood? I think it might be a good idea. But I don't think drivers would use it if they had to pay for the trolly. I also think if they had to pay to park it might drive people away. I think it is a good idea, but I'm not sure how it would be funded.
