Question
Sqb are the B&W photos yours? I only ask because one of them looks like it was taken right outside my building. The one titled "nine lives". I can't imagine that there is another 9 that looks like that. Interesting...

If thursday in the square
gets yanked I will flip out. Every single person I know who has lived in Buffalo and decided to leave leaves for the same reason. It really is a great place to live (minus the winter tundra that happens for 8 months out of the year) except the city planning at EVERY step goes wrong. Not just wrong but almost comically so. People sit on the monument everyday during the summer and eat lunch- so this is ok, but the crazy concert goers are not ok? Keep in mind these are the same people sitting eating lunch and going to see Thursday in the square. Buffalo is a great place but things like this remind me why I left. If i could live in Buffalo and make a decent living (Im talking 30k) and they cleaned up/revived the city a bit Id live there in a second. It just seems like another victim of old school politics doomed to follow in the same path of cities like Detroit. Poor Buffalo in my heart I still love you!!

In a nut shell...
Ugh I just had this long post about CL and why it rocks. Basically its all about the housing market. It allows poor suckas like myself to actually find a place w/o paying a scum sucking broker my entire paycheck for the next 4 months so I can live in a rat infested hovel. It by passes the middle man! Plus it is great for passing the time away at work. There are a lot of amusing posts by wackos. So in a nut shell there it is!

Out of the Loop
ok so here I am again posting about Buffalos fave landlord Peter Singer. I just saw ajay's posting about his EBAY business. I can't believe the extent of this. Years ago I was shocked about the extent of his rental crimes but now online too? I wish I would have been so much more vocal at the time. It may have prevented more people from getting scammed. There is an article about him in the Buffalo News and the DA is investigating him? Are you kidding me?! And he thinks he is in the right. Forgive me but usualy you have to do something sketchy to have the DA open an investigation against you. I just can't get over this. Seriously EPeeps we should unite and do something. Even though I am in NYC now I am so in to help out. I even have a buffalo based attorney that would do some pro-bono if need be.
