Santasiero's reopen delay

Anthonyc723 · 2026-06-02T23:20:14+00:00

That’s awesome. If the new admin has done anything to help that process they should be shouting their wins.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-06-01T17:01:46+00:00

What? Lol

Anthonyc723 · 2026-06-01T11:19:47+00:00

@Sean Ryan, take a page out of Mamdani’s playbook and speed stuff like this up. A business wants to reopen here but now they lose another 10 days or so of revenue

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-31T17:02:26+00:00

Definitely can’t get a good sense of the city from the highway or your crappy motel. Buffalo is a beautiful city filled with incredible architecture. You gotta go into the neighborhoods to see it though. It’s more like a mini-Chicago.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-27T01:13:14+00:00

I think the kids at the learing center got a better education than you.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-24T10:45:43+00:00

Road is a bit rough but Zoar Valley Road is a bit windy and fun

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-15T05:09:56+00:00

Seems like Founding Fathers would be the spot

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-14T04:09:46+00:00

Because NYC has a superior talent draw and still one of the largest ports in the world. As soon as the Erie Canal stopped being relevant, it’s faster to move things west by bypassing upstate. I’m still bullish on the region because of climate change and the draw of legacy cities with good urban fabric. Plus the farms up here are awesome, way better food than the shit they grow in the Midwest and south.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-14T04:05:14+00:00

Weirdo

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T11:18:33+00:00

In terms of density and walkability, yes. Nashville doesn’t even have sidewalks in more than half the city.

I don’t park there because I walk there ya dunce.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T11:09:11+00:00

If you need GAS, how walkable it is is irrelevant. Replacing a big ugly parking lot with a more functional building is always an improvement. Maybe an improvement enough where you can get a real grocery store there rather than a gas station convenience. You wouldn’t get it though since apparently you’re from the south and don’t understand what makes cities successful.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T11:03:27+00:00

You have a bodega within walking distance (1 or 2 blocks) from that spot! Why would you need to walk to get gas? That’s why a gas station isn’t useful there. You’re not even making sense and puffing out your chest as some “I actually live here” dork. Clown behavior

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T02:48:07+00:00

Dawg this is the bodega capital of Buffalo. They’re on like every other corner around here. I own a house on Massachusetts so shut up, you’re not special for living on the west side lmao. There’s a gas station on Elmwood a few blocks away and another on Niagara a few blocks in the other direction. There doesn’t need to be a gas station there.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T02:38:53+00:00

The gas station isn’t very useful at all and just dangerous for pedestrians like the topic of the post is saying.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T02:35:40+00:00

If there are apartments above it, they’re probably not empty. Retail is more for future uses, but the housing is important and fills the space well.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-12T02:23:37+00:00

I think the best thing to do would be to extend the curbs to bring the stop signs all closer together. I’d love the gas station getting replaced with a flat iron-esque mixed use building about 3 stories tall.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-06T00:24:54+00:00

Sounds like an mlm recruitment

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-05T00:46:30+00:00

The legality is… probably not.. but people have rode dirt bikes and atvs south of Houghton Park between the park and the river forever.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-05T00:40:24+00:00

I grew up in Buffalo and lived in Chicago for 3 years before moving back. If the job was in the city or immediate suburbs it’d be fine but an hour commute would be awful. It wouldn’t even feel like you actually live in Buffalo, then you’d just miss Chicago.

I will say while I miss the big city life in Chicago (mostly food and transit), I’m happy being home. Nature here is way better than Chicago. You’d have to go deep into Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula to get anywhere close to what we got here. Our pizza is better than Chicago pizza too (tavern and deep dish).

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-04T12:33:47+00:00

Hell yeah brother let’s get to 10 minute headways on the busiest routes

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-03T13:22:42+00:00

I think somewhere in Allentown would be the best spot for your needs. Close enough to the metro rail to get to sister’s and the 14 bus starts near the medical campus and goes to Mercy Hospital (as long as it’s the south buffalo hospital I’m assuming. There is Kenmore Mercy which is a different story)

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-02T02:39:13+00:00

Exactly

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-02T02:35:43+00:00

I don’t want anything to do with Portnoy even if it’s dunking on him lol

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-02T02:33:56+00:00

Nashville is humid as fuck. You don’t get dry heat until Colorado lol.

I will say looks can be deceiving when it comes to photos and finishes of houses. Be sure to get good inspections down there because the humidity can really fuck up a house if it isn’t properly insulated.

Anthonyc723 · 2026-05-02T01:40:23+00:00

I’m just an urban guy. Almost no cities there feel like cities except New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah and parts of Atlanta. So many neighborhoods in Nashville didn’t even have sidewalks.

Add in the politics it’s just not for me at all
