I hadn't focused on that, actually. It's more than fair to infer that there was some sort of quid pro quo with the real estate firm. My guess: Howard Hanna's PR person pitched the story to an editor at TBN. And maybe Howard Hanna will now increase its placement of ads in TBN in the coming months.

I don't watch local news-ish stuff unless I'm in Buffalo, but it's amazing how much of news TV seems to be thinly-disguised advertising. I'm sure it's the same everywhere. Actually, that goes for the national morning shows too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all geared to sell something in the vast majority of their "news" articles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also 100% accurate besides more than fair. You're likely to see HH ads on TBN website as well. 40 minutes ago, Eleven said: I think that firm specializes in homes that aren't typically advertised in newspapers, though. Not to say that there couldn't have been some other type of quid pro quo. The newspaper is a huge real estate advertising medium. That has not changed. The number of people who look forward to home sections is amazing. I spent 8 hell months working as the Vice President of IT for Nothnagle (bought by Howard Hanna a few months after I left). The rest of the senior leadership team still runs the local operations and this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff they spent their time working on.

Doohickie Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The creepy eyes thing is if the subject is looking directly at the camera (or the virtual camera in the case of a painting). My dad's cousin painted a portrait of my mom and she's looking directly out. It used to feel like she was watching us all the time. The good thing that came out of that is that the portrait hung in our living room growing up so we learned to ignore it. That stuff doesn't creep me out anymore. (In fact I've got that portrait hanging in my family room. I call it my security system because anyone who might break in will feel like they're being watched.)

In The Buff Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 There's some nice houses / condos over there. I know its a popular location for a lot of Sabres players. I used to run into Derek Roy all the time at the Tops on Niagara St. I never got over how tiny that guy looked in person. But it makes sense that he'd like to live close to the arena. I just hope that's his reasoning & its not to just get closer to Chippewa lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit to add: I got to thinking of Ken and the poster. It would be inside Ken’s Room 101 which was, coincidently enough, administered by Orwell’s O’Brien.
