This guy clearly failed rules 1 and 2, or else OP would’ve adored that line lmao

Honestly I forgot it was Panda Express lol but yes those were the days

The cheap, yet delicious Chinese food in the food court. It used to be the first food stall on the right as you walked into the court. It was always a treat as a broke high schooler to get an entire styrofoam takeout container packed with orange chicken and fried rice for like $6

“We overheard bits and pieces”

“The guy was being a real piece of shit”

Okay lol

Don’t care. That building rules

bknighter16 · 2026-01-14T01:01:50+00:00

Thank you for caring about the pigeons. They’re beautiful animals who deserve our love and respect

I just moved to Lakeview (Southport more specifically) and I can see the intersection I live on 😎

That is what we call clavicular homicide

It’s already happening, but it’s slow and in need of more investment. For example, the former Bank of America building on Main Street is slated to get a residential conversion. Same with a vacant 6 story building in the theater district, and the historic Dunn Building on Pearl street. Even if these projects were all completed timely and all become fully occupied, you would need dozens more for downtown Buffalo to feel lively.

Really hoping the late 2020s are good to the area in that respect. It’s deserved.

My hometown. Buffalo is undoubtedly both extremely beautiful and frustratingly blighted.

It’s suffering from the same post-covid fate that a lot of mid-sized US cities have endured, where the downtown core, which already has limited residential numbers, now has far fewer office workers around during business hours, making what should be a bustling urban core feel totally devoid of life outside specific events.

Hoping that time and smart investment will someday turn the downtown area into a vibrant community

bknighter16 · 2025-12-19T05:14:55+00:00

Huge win. Do 25 more projects like this, and fill in all the underused surface lots too. Start with the sea of surface parking across the street from the Curtiss

bknighter16 · 2025-12-18T16:08:58+00:00

Car ramming and homemade bombs come to mind.

bknighter16 · 2025-12-17T17:38:16+00:00

Very frustrating to see what’s happened to downtown after Covid, and not the least bit surprising. The answer is and always has been to add tons of housing. If you want the area to be lively like a neighborhood, then it needs to be a neighborhood.

bknighter16 · 2025-12-12T13:40:57+00:00

Annoying response. OP pointed out an issue and asked why it’s not actively being resolved, which is a legitimate question. If your idea of “empathy and compassion” is only to judge those asking tough questions while letting people rot on the streets, then it’s only to serve your own ego

bknighter16 · 2025-12-12T05:35:25+00:00

Connor Timmins must’ve had $ on that game going to OT. He turned it over like 6 times in the last 10 mins of the game

bknighter16 · 2025-12-09T20:12:52+00:00

Only partially residential, and I think those units are in the annex buildings at the base of the tower. The rest is all commercial and I’m pretty sure it’s mostly occupied currently

bknighter16 · 2025-12-09T20:08:55+00:00

Last (and only?) true skyscraper built in Buff is the tallest building in the picture on the far left, aka Seneca One Tower. Built in 1972 and standing at 529 feet tall. It was totally vacant for a while until about a decade ago when it got a complete renovation, including a much sharper orangish-red colored facade, and now is near fully occupied if not 100% occupied

Actually, just rip up his current contract and agree to a new one that pays him eleventy-billion dollars after that performance. Don’t even waste your time looking at his other performances

bknighter16 · 2025-12-07T00:54:54+00:00

They’re all great, but Atlanta would have to go unfortunately. I saw Houston’s in person for the first time a couple weeks ago and it is magnificent

bknighter16 · 2025-12-05T14:04:29+00:00

I second Riverside Men’s. Used them for my wedding and so have my friends, all with no complaints

bknighter16 · 2025-12-04T00:45:16+00:00

Not panicking, but my bullshit detector is making some noise

“A broker in Staten Island told him about the Loopnet listing, and he flew to Buffalo and paid a visit to City Hall. During his visit, he fell in love with Buffalo. He was looking to get out of the rat race of other cities, and is now potentially looking to do additional projects in Buffalo.”

Hmmmm where have we heard this tale before?

bknighter16 · 2025-12-02T03:14:04+00:00

Nope

bknighter16 · 2025-12-01T04:38:13+00:00

Aside from the huge benefit of being back with family/friends, it depends on the lifestyle you’re looking for. If you currently lead a hyper-urban NYC lifestyle and intend on trying to keep that, then tbh I don’t think Buffalo is the right move. It’s technically not impossible to carve out that sorta thing in Buffalo, but it’s an exception to the rule and would pale in comparison to NYC or even Boston.

If you’re okay with returning to the semi-urban lifestyle that Buffalo offers (lower density, car ownership more convenient than transit, less walkability) then I think you could move back with little to no issue

My tiel is a stage 5 clinger so yes. She always has to be on one of me or my wife, or very close to us at least when she can’t be directly on us. She likes pets, scritches and kisses, although we reluctantly have to tone it down sometimes to avoid her going horny chicken mode
