A load of crap
Category: elmwood
Have you ever seen a load of crap? Sure you have, and it wasn't brown or on the grass. Its called Forever Elmwood. Yup...they are a load of crap.

The meeting tonight was just as I suspected and what Pano suspected, one big pile of $hit. It was not a "community meeting." I recall the last big meeting Savarino had was at Buffalo State College, where the general community got stuff in their mailboxes about the meeting. Funny thing is, I learned about tonights meeting through the media. WB 49 to be exact. Kris O'Donnell told me. If it were not for her, I probably would not have gone. This was not a public meeting as there were only about 15 people there? And seemed like there was only one there that was for the hotel, that was NOT affiliated with any Elmwood group or development. Even that number is pushing it. In fact, all they are trying to do is force this down my throat and everyone elses and trying to get us to "comply" with the hotel. They didn't answer questions, they just gave reasons, that we already heard, to why we need this. They showed us the same pctures the saem layouts the same everything. I have the whole thging on tape. And I can say, that if the hotel goes through, and the developers take the house I am in, by getting a variance, which they ARE doing, then Pano will sue them. Said it out loud to everyone, and I have it on tape. As far as I am concerned, they made no effort whatsoever to inform the public of this meeting and they could care less what anyone opposed thinks.

So if the city approves it, then lawsuits will hold it up for a few years. Looks like its the "no tell hotel" now.

Work: I hate work sometimes. The dishwasher broke and we had to wash dishes by had all night long. That was tedius and cut into time to do everything else. When I left at 7am, it was still broken :(

Spring?
Category: spring
Of course its not :) At least not until the 21 technically. But it was so nice the other day, I went outside :) That is big for me considering I work overnights and rarely have time to go out of the house and do anything "fun".

Before leaving, I opened the door to the porch and a few windows to get some fresh air in the house (this was on Saturday). I then went around to Dona Apparel to see what I could find in there. When I have time I will get a picture :) I then went to Skunk Tail and got a "piece". They really do some awsome work, and its fun to watch.

I came home and cracked open a beer and sat outside for a few before I had to sleep for a few hours.

Its too bad this weather is not lasting, yet. I miss the porch parties ;-)

WB 49, and The Buffalo current
Category: elmwood
Well I just got an E-mail from Patty of Don Apparel, the Buffalo Current is NO more. They pullled the plug. They are done.

WB 49 News at 10 is also done, pulled the plug on that.

No reason as to why yet, but there is specualtion, IMO, they sucked, but I wonder what the true motive is??

Anyway, I love vintage stuff. I went deep discount shopping today at Don Apparel and was just amazed. They have an attic full of stuff too!!! My god it would take me days to go through everything. And I mean dddaaaayyyysss.

A woman named Michele was trying on some clothes...She picked out a lot of really nice things.

We were calling her "Donna Parrel" :)

Well anyways they have a lot of really cool stuff in there. Its not just ladies stuff either :)

Current is kaput? That was fast. And we didn't even _do_ anything to them.

That's really surprising, actually, considering we always kinda figured they had unlimited funding.

Kinda leaves some pretty slim pickins as far as press goes around here.
