Lurker Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 A pox on all invoved in that clusterxxxx. The self-inflicted wounds from back then (UB location, Rapid Rail, Rich Stadium) are still dragging on the Buffalo area all these years later... 1

Do you remember the plans to build on the property of the old Twin Drive In (Walden/Dick) before they decided to dig dirt in Orchard Park? My dad was stoked since my parents home was on Como Park Blvd...talk about a short drive.
