This is the latest on the hotel that I wrote. More here:
Arthur J. Giacalone, an attorney representing Nancy Pollina, Patricia Morris, who operate the Don Apparel, a vintage clothing and collectibles shop at 1119 Elmwood Avenue, Angeline Genovese and Evelyn Bencinich, owners of residences on Granger Place in Buffalo abutting the rear of the proposed hotel site, Nina Freudenheim, a resident of nearby Penhurst Park, and Sandra Girage, the owner of a two-family residence on Forest Avenue less than a hundred feet from the proposed hotel's sole entrance/exit driveway, have filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against the city of Buffalo's Common Council and Planning board, alleging that the proposed Elmwood Village hotel was approved "without giving meaningful consideration to either the impact on the adjoining residential neighborhood, or the unique character of this section of Elmwood Avenue," according to Giacalone.

I read an article about that in the Buffalo News today. I understand that there is a opostion to the Hotel but I think sueing the city is a bad idea. If I where opposed to the Hotel and thought it was a horid Idea I would still think that the law suite will do more damage. It makes it look like the people of Buffalo don't embrace change and try to spot projects from comming here. All it takes if for one influnacale person or company to feal that way and tell others and then no body will come to buffalo.
