Wow, this is a big deal. If this firm is capable of producing these complicated railings and the entrance lamps, I’ll bet they can produce the large lamps, too. And they can be outfitted with modern wiring. Who cares that they aren’t original as long as they are art deco; those people in Hong Kong can keep their old lamps.

We had about 850 people. It was a nice, manageable crowd!

How well was it attended? It seemed to generate a lot of info from various media. Was the gathering considered a success?

The 80th party was really awesome. It was really organized and I really liked the new features like the new railings, the clock, and of course the new plaque. Also, what other projects are going to be undertaken in building with the money you recieved from the different events such as this?

You know, the Buffalo Central Terminal has changed a lot since the 75th. There is now railings on top of the ticket counters, replica light fixtures in the lobby, and of course the new lettering. Some other stuff to name is the new plaque, the concourse has a lot of broken glass removed, more areas are opened up like the resturant and the little shops at the end of the concourse. Don’t forget the restored baggage cart. And lets not don’t forget, the clock is back.

Mike, sorry I’m a little late with congrats, I wish you the best! You have truly ‘breathed new life into the CTRC’ and will hopefully not be going anywhere for awhile! This appointment may be another opportunity to bring the Central Terminal to national attention!

Actually, we looked into fireworks for the 75th and a nice show was SUPER EXPENSIVE. More than we imagined. So unless you’re buying, sadly no fireworks.

George, how does this grab you, from last Friday’s Buffalo News:

(It would have been nice if they added a picture of the clock all lit up in the concourse again!)

Thanks for your support, Charles! And a great job, Jeff and the team! Regrettably I couldn’t get the day off from work to help with the move, but if everyone who did help comes up Saturday I’d like to take a few group shots with my new camera of all of you standing in front of the clock. (Hey Chris, where’s the group shots you took of us on the the jitney last Saturday? For John, if you see those photos, Tracy is standing between me and Bill on the back of the jitney.) As for the clock, how does the song go—’Hey, it’s good to be back home again….’?

Great news for BCT. I have been watching the progress that this great group has been making and this is the cornerstone of your success. All of the volunteers and friends should be proud of what they are doing to this great and historic building. I hope that in the future they will turn this building into a condo or business that will totally restore this building to its former glory. Thank you for posting. I watch this site daily as it always has good news to show.

I saw on Channel 7 that the clock is coming home to the terminal but there is no article on the website. We hae to get an article up about that so people can follow what is going on.

Well…. John (if you’re the John I think you are), we talked last Saturday morning! I did some welding on the doors being repaired on spring cleanup, and trying to help Walt a little bit straightening out the wiring. I don’t think we ever had a formal introduction. (Sometimes things get missed when they are right in front of us!) No, I’m not a ghost, at least not just yet! See ya Saturday morning!
