23. It's not the 70's anymore

26. Being the only 13 year old with a turntable, a CD player made in 1986, and a reciever made in 1982

[Jag67]

Actually, the reason why the "new' chrysler logo is so dated is because it was used back in the 20's and 30's. To tell the truth, the pentastar says "chrysler" to me much more than the wings. Plus, it's ugly. The pentastar is still used for the 5-star thing AND can still be seen on the windows on all chrysler cars, up to this day. Ever since chrysler has been phasing them out, I've been hoarding everything pentastar. Hood ambems (taken from the fire hall prectice cars), parts w/ it, anything with the pentastar...MINE!!! Even though the pentastar has been around since the 60's it seems very 80's ish to me..

Come on Jag...our convention center IS ugly!  It's one of the worst pieces of architecture in Buffalo.  It sits like a windowless cinderblock right in the center of Downtown.  It, along with the Hyatt addition to the Genesee Building, and the Main Place Mall, have all helped to ruin the radial street pattern designed by Joseph Ellicott when laying out the original city of Buffalo.  Then of course, Metro Rail...shutting down Main Street to vehicular traffic...that was another fantastic move.  What were they thinking?

[Jag67]

lol...But I do like the inside of the convention center, even though it hasn't been remodeled since it's opening in 1978. I mean seriously, the place looks EXACTLY the same as when they used to have discos there (my dad went to a few of them). I'm not saying it's good looking, I'm just saying it's weird that it's considered ugly when it's still fairly new. i must admit though, it ain't pretty.

[amesman]

I've seen that convention center. It is indeed ugly. And it does seem kinda pointless that they closed off the majority of Main Street in Downtown, for a rail car. Does Buffalo really even need one of those? lol

[jmn3]

I'm pretty sure that people considered it ugly in the 70's as well.  There are some pretty big, ugly, structures in and around downtown from that time (60's and 70's).  Most notably, in my opinion, would be that convention center, the Main Place Mall and One HSBC Center (a.k.a. One Marine Midland Center).  On the other hand, you also got a beauty like One M&T Plaza in the mid-60's.  The convention center going right into the middle of the street pattern made no sense.  It was one more time where inept local leadership (business leaders, union leaders, political leaders, all of them) made a back-asswards decision that we continue to suffer with for decades.  

Oh, speaking of ugly buildings, how about the ENTIRE UB campus in Amherst.  Ugh!  :barf:

As for the metro rail...well, supposedly, it's usage numbers are some of the best of any subway/rail system in the nation when you base it upon the total number of passengers divided by the total miles of the system.  But it's a pretty useless method to go anywhere if you don't live right near it.  It runs for about 6 miles either on the surface of Main Street or just below it.  Why they never continued it to the North Campus of UB, the Amherst/Tonawanda area, the Airport, or the southtowns, is just a mystery to everyone.  Closing off Main Street was just wrong.  It's called Main Street for a reason.  It's the MAIN street!  You don't close off the MAIN street in a community to traffic!  

Interestingly enough, the original plan was to actually put a roof over Main Street from around the HSBC Center all the way to Chippewa Street, creating an indoor mall along the once thriving retail section of Main Street.  Of course that never occured, but it would have been a huge mall!  Before the rail line, there were at least six major department stores along Main Street still operating along with countless other businesses, offices, restaurants, shops, and a full-functioning mall.  Aside from the offices and some condominiums in one of the old stores, most everything else is gone.  A handful of shops and restaurants are still there, but it's a mostly dead corridor since the rail line was opened.

[Jag67]

heheh..couldn't agree more. Before the metro rail was constructed (1979-1984?) Main Street was dead as a doornail, save a few flea markets and adult stores (and AM&A's, kleinhans, etc.). when metro was built, it all came back....for a while. but then the novelty woree off, and now it's worse than before. No all the big dept. stores are closed, we have a dead mall way passed it's prime, another  abandoned mall shuttered since the 80's, and a dead Burger king with a boarded up window and smashed ceiling tiles on the floor. Yipee. In my opinion, closing off vehicular traffic to main st. Was a VERY bad Idea, it basically killed off kleinhans, Bergers, and the downtown AM&A's.

ps- Jmn3, do you know when the main st. burger king was built and when it closed? you can see a pic of it on the Burger King page in the restaurant section.

[Zayre88]

Here are some of my pet peeves:

My Sears store probably being the smallest in Canada

Supermarkets that sells kids clothing and microwaves

Department stores that sells food

The crappy lower intake gasket on my engine

Wal-Mart is opening a store in my town

Roads with bumps and cracks

Road work

Traffic jams because of roadwork

High gas prices

GM reminding me of Kmart when it bankrupted

All GM cars could have been introduced 3 years earlier

The Yahoo-Geocities file manager

The 25 years it took to extend the highway to my town

The ugly parking garage at the Downtown Plaza

[amesman]

They could've definetaly done a better job wth the Downtown Buffalo area. I don't live in Buffalo, but i've been there enough times to notice the lousy traffic pattern they have. You get diverted onto other streets(I think they're Delaware, Genessee, and another street that I don't remember the name of). Something needs to be done, or greatly improved.

Not sure about the BK.  I think the old McD's on Main Street is being renovated.  Last I heard it was being purchased by some architectural firm.  I know BK and McD's have both been closed for many years.  Not really sure about the dates.

I would definitley not say that Main Street was dead as a doornail before MetroRail's construction.  To the contrary, it was a busy street with businesses of all kinds.  In the 70's, you had major department stores like Hengerer's, Hens & Kelly, AM&A's, and Sattler's, along with the smaller "big" stores like LL Berger, Kleinhans, Ulbrich's (a local chain of fairly large stationary stores), FW Woolworth, and plenty of specialty shops.  We also had the headquarters of Marine Midland Bank, M&T, The Big E (a.k.a. Erie County Savings Bank and then Empire of America), Buffalo Savings Bank (a.k.a. Goldome Bank), National Fuel, Blue Cross of WNY, and loads of other businesses.  Then for about 5 years in the early 80's, you had total chaos on Main Street.  Imagine all of these stores and businesses trying to do business while the street gets closed, torn apart, and train tracks get installed.  It was a real mess of barrells and cones and dust for years.  Once the dust settled, you had this real clean street with no traffic...vehicular or pedestrian!  Many of the stores were victims of the times...not just Main Street's closure...same with the businesses - the climate for businesses to stay in business just isn't available in New York, esp. in a city like Buffalo.  Nonetheless, we are now going to spend 50+ million dollars to spend the next ten years trying to figure out a way to have Main Street share space with cars and trains.

[Jag67]

Yes, that's right, the McDonalds is being renovated, which is good because the place was uglier than an ostrich. It must've been closed for years, because I didn't even know it was a McD's untill a pedestrian told me. All that was left was the trademark McD's red and yellow.

We went down to see Hurcules on Ice in 97 or 98 and the burger king was still open then, but I believe it closed somewhere between 1997-99. My friend mr, prise says it's bewen closed for about 8 years. It's very rough, I mean TRASHED..It's a rare 2-story burger king...Kids have broken into it and vandalized it and messed up the tables, chairs, etc. and there is ceiling tile everywhere..It's too bad.

Yes it does- but it's RETRO!! The insides (or outside) haven't been touched since it's construction in 1978. The only thing they did was replace the bathroom signs.
