Gave a guest lecture today in an introduction to urban studies class about Business Improvement Districts(BIDs) and Buffalo Place. Always nice to be back at UB!

It's time for my favorite Buffalo history story! 211 years ago today, during the War of 1812, residents thought the Village of Buffalo would be safe. There were 2,000 militia camped here in Lafayette Square (then Courthouse Square), protecting them.

I think a lot about those people who returned to Buffalo. Would you be able to spend the winter living in the shell of your home? I believe the spirit of those early residents is what makes Buffalonians so hearty. That fire that burned us to the ground is stuck within our souls.

We can always rebuild, we can always be better. There is always next year. So here's to a new year, another chance to rebuild, another chance to do better, to be better. Happy New Year, Buffalo!!

How it's going: Just contemplated climbing into the bed of a pickup truck to make a snow angel.

I'm working on a blog post that follows charities a guy donated to in 1914. The post is currently an hour read and I'm not done. Should I divide it by category of organization or cut the content so it's less detailed? Or I could just post a really long post?
