jimiVbaby Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/27221686@N08/...57619220404517/ Great pics jimiV! This picture is a perfect example of why the skyway needs to go, as if most in that set weren't already. Just picture an uncluttered Buffalo skyline, where you can clearly see City Hall from the Commercial slip, along with all the other buildings between it and the HSBC building. There's just no reason why it shouldn't go. Thanks, and I think we've agreed on the skyway in past threads. One thing that did surprise me is that I really couldn't hear the traffic right near the canal which I guess is a plus if they're going to leave it there. final trusses coming down today between 10:30am and noon, they're closing the skyway. Last wall sometime next week. Drove by today, man.. it's so close... I'm back to work next week but I'll try to get a couple more pics before it's a hole in the ground.

spndnchz Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 or... Leave the last wall, paint it white and make it a big screen for drive in movies or a sound stage for outside concerts!

Knightrider Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I didn't read through every page of this, so maybe this has already been discussed. I was cycling through the stills from http://www.earthcam.com/client/erie/ and the thing that really stood out to me was, The Skyway never has more than ~24 vehicles in that picture. Never. I cycled back to bad (good too) weather at rush hour, but couldn't find a single backup. Why is it still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southtowns commuters always had access to the 90 and in turn to the 190 in order to get downtown. So it is a little bit of a longer drive. Big Deal? Guaranteed once they build out the canalside project underneath the skyway, it will never come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 John Calvin's. Wow! That is some incredible foresight for a 16th century French expatriate Swiss theologian. :w00t: Sounds like the history books need to be re-written (but don't they do that all the time?) <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I wish that someone would have gone through the aud before demolition even began and took detailed photos from room to room and area to area. I have seen some of the pictures posted by people who broke in, but that wasn't extensive enough for my tastes. I just hope that in 50 or 60 years from now, when it comes time to tear down the HSBC, someone does a real professional video of every area of the arena. That would be a cool dvd for the sabres foundation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
