Well, if we’re going to build a Parking Lot Museum it seems only fitting that a special section is reserved for the All-Time Greatest Parking Ticket Scofflaw in the history of Buffalo, NY. That would be the one and only, bow tie wearing, don’t let the door hit you on the way out, former lead flunkie of the Buffalo Common Council, Mr. James (Now I design waterfront hotels) Pitts. Interesting, haven’t heard much from him in the last 10+ years until the latest hotel fiasco. I wonder from under what rock his crawled, maybe it was just a giant mole hole.

Mayor Brown may have described this as an important first step in Buffalo’s reclamation of its storied past, but as described the museum does not, in fact, have something for everyone. Moreover, it offers an unforgivable slight to a select group of men whose industriousness has been a staple of Buffalo ever since the first chaise and fours were introduced by our British forefathers, and our first elected officials exhibited their neglect and incompetence. And although we are exceedingly grateful to our elected officials throughout our history who have done everything in their power to ensure that we have always been employed in a thriving industry — as evidenced by our own rapidly expanding car lots — we most strenuously object to the absence of recognition of Buffalo’s repo men, we who have always been most helpful in prompting Buffalonians to consider if there might not be a better place to park.

Wow!!! This is great news! You know, we on the West Side have been going about it all wrong! Instead of turning abandoned city properties into community gardens that enrich and enhance life over here, as well as keep kids engaged and neighborhoods working together, the parking Lot Museum Project reminds us that there is an easier way! Pavement trumps flowers! Go Ruse for keeping us informed. We can’t wait til the doors, or should we say gates, open on this!
