ChevyVanMiller Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I know that some of you on this site live in Niagara Falls or are originally from there. As you know the city is in deplorable shape. Last year I started a group to try and give the people a way to make a difference - as it was obvious that government wasn't going to right the ship alone. What started as an idea has grown into a full-blown movement with over 70 people working on four sub-groups. Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 29th at 6:00 PM at the Day's Inn, 443 Main street, Niagara Falls. Please consider this an open invitation to attend if you care about the future of Niagara Falls.

ChevyVanMiller Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Maybe this should be on the Polls, Politics board. If so, mods please move. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You know... the thing I was most interested to see, and was missing from the site, an actual plan of attack. Is there a plan of any sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Frank Thomas Croisdale (Chevyvanmiller) You can find out more at Niagara Rises If i still lived in the area, I'd attend. Good luck, the area REALLY needs the help. I'd love to have the opportunity to return, some day, and help out. You might want to consider simplifying the web site, though. There is no good reason to have all that java and sound on what is, essentially, an information site. Web designers who aren't responsible with their toys shouldn't be allowed to play with them.

The site will be redone shortly. We are going to add some blogs as well. Let me know when you're visiting again. Maybe you can make a meeting then.

Is there a plan of any sort? There is a grand plan. What you see now is what we are calling "low hanging fruit" - things that we could get going quickly so that the group wasn't just talking (or, more to the point, bitching).

I see a couple names that look familiar in the subgroups, so maybe my friends/family might be interested in helping out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, at the next meeting we are attempting to arrange a speaker from the return home to Buffalo organization. It's a concept where expatriates are encouraged to all return home during the same week to wax nostalgic about the old days and find out ways they can either land a good paying job and return or lend a hand in the renaissance from where they are now. We're going to try nd set the same thing up for Niagara Falls. I know that in my 8 years with the newspaper, I've had countless emails from people saying "If I could only find a job making even 3/4 of what I'm making now, I'd be back in a heartbeat." Keep the faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In space no one can hear Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 JP is available. Well he did organize a clean up day in Buffalo and now everything is rosey. How many days would it take to clean up Niagara Falls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
