I recieve dozens of emails everyday from fixBuffalo readers all around the world. I enjoy reading the individual narratives explaining various aspects of neighborhood life here on the City's East side from back in the day when every corner was alive, sidewalks were filled with people going to school and work. Many emails reflect the sense of loss and what I'm writing about in terms of the pervasive "hollowing out" of entire neighborhoods. Urban planners, design students, teachers and investors are reading what has started out as a little neighborhood blog - highlighting the insanely irresponsible City ownership of a local-landmark, the Woodlawn Row Houses - and offering suggestions and critique.
I also receive some amazing pictures of what Buffalo used to look like. I really enjoy these and will start to tag in my flickr for collaborative purposes. Scan 'em and send 'em. Thanks.
If you aren't familiar with blogging, ask me via email and I'll help you if you want to leave a comment in one of my posts and find the process somewhat confusing. You should know this blog is not a democracy. If I decide that your comment is offensive or in bad taste - not mild, but severe - I'll remove it. I don't like doing this but I have and I will. Rule is - pretend there are other people in the room who are listening to what you have to say.

Thanks for looking around, reading what's here and contributing to the conversation involving what's happening here in Buffalo, NY.
Best,
David
Ps...if you have your photos on-line in Flickr or elsewhere and want to make them available, let me know.
