Gave a guest lecture today in an introduction to urban studies class about Business Improvement Districts(BIDs) and Buffalo Place. Always nice to be back at UB!

@WesternNewYorkr It's actually like that b/c South Park used have a bridge there so the trains could go under it to go to Elk Terminal Market....that's why Ballyhoo is up steps to get in too, b/c the entrance was at road level. So that door would have been under the underpass, at the train level

@_beccap No, I was in a rental. If I'd been in her car, I would have told her immediately. She has absolutely nothing to do with this though.

@progressive I don't have the claim number b/c they didn't call me, they called my mother!

@JamesRadio I was surprised to hear that they were closed and noone was in the building when the fire started just before 4 am....do bars not stay open until 4 anymore? I mean, I know I don't stay up that late anymore but I figured someone did?

@natebenson I should have known Concordia bc every time I'm in there I forget what it means and have to google 🤣

[Angela M. Keppel, AICP @akepps]

@natebenson putting it on my list to memorize so i'll know next time!

[Angela M. Keppel, AICP @akepps]

We can always rebuild, we can always be better. There is always next year. So here's to a new year, another chance to rebuild, another chance to do better, to be better. Happy New Year, Buffalo!!

It's time for my favorite Buffalo history story! 211 years ago today, during the War of 1812, residents thought the Village of Buffalo would be safe. There were 2,000 militia camped here in Lafayette Square (then Courthouse Square), protecting them.

I think a lot about those people who returned to Buffalo. Would you be able to spend the winter living in the shell of your home? I believe the spirit of those early residents is what makes Buffalonians so hearty. That fire that burned us to the ground is stuck within our souls.
