Some Ideas

You know when you take the Gardiner into Toronto and the business advertisements are created on the side of the highway? well would'nt that be nice if someone cleaned up the side of the Kensington just before and after ECMC and did the same thing? We can Fisher Price, Moog, General Mills and that kind of stuff right there. I think it would look good and clean up the 33 while were at it. Another thing, a little more difficult, but just an idea. The old Juvie hall on Best and Timon. Buy it, demo it and build another satellite school for UB, like a Law or medical building. Now the neighborhood isnt the best, but if you buy one or two blocks at about $10,000 a block and build college row houses and graduate living, shit would shape up. If shitty neighborhoods can spread, so can nice ones. With the science center, the new Jefferson/Best business corridor going up and proximity to Main and Delaware, this just make one more nice oasis in the city. Plus children attending City Honors can see what a little good schooling can do. Maybe it will help some of the Traditional kids too. The place is a shithole right now and could be bought for a song, might as well. While you're at it, the old seminary off of Best by the 33 entrance. Make it another UB or Buff State building, or an extension on the Science Center, like a museum and educational center in one. Who knows but the least we can do is think.

Have a nice weekend, i suggest a little Founding Fathers or Colter Bay. Get yourself a good pint.
