Summer Time Tours...

First week of Spring and already thinking of summer tours.

Good news about my Artspace Backyard Neighborhood tour...Saturdays at 11am. Buffalo Tours - co-sponsored by the Landmark Society and the Preservation Coalition - is picking up my tour and getting the word out to a larger audience about this amazing area of Midtown. More about their complete set of tour offerings for your summer schedule in a few weeks. I'll still be leading this Saturday morning event and pointing out some of the coolest homesteading opportunities on the City's near East side.

And back by popular demand - Tour d'Neglect 2007...details, dates and map sometime this weekend. If you missed it last year, these places don't last forever as you'll remember one of last summer's tour stops, the Wollenberg Grain Elevator burned down last October. It was the last remaining wooden grain elevator in the City of Buffalo...part of this summer's Tour d'Neglect will include a discussion of repurposing some of these buildings and making them once again part of vibrant City life.

In case you missed it - some highlights from 2006...

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
