Visiting the Summit Mall

So, I was bored one day and decided to go see (again) if any work was being done on the Summit Mall. **SPOILER** No work at all. I went around the back. It's in pretty messy shape. There were a lot of old smashed televisions back there that I don't remember from my last trip (because of course there were.)

However, while I was there I did collect some decorative stone that had fallen off the the old theater entrance.

I filled a few jars with the stone that was on the ground (there was a lot strewn about). I gave one to Ron as a gift, and kept the other three, one of which also has some asphalt from the parking lot.

So, I'm hoping that Cocov, Blood, Wheatfield, and the lot keep their word and get this place back open! Otherwise my only view of the mall will be from the outside: a very sad view indeed.

    It never ceases to amaze me the how much worse the place has gotten since it has closed

Confirmation Bias (Nice Title, eh?)

Hey y'all, So...October 1st has come and gone, and there's not Summit Park Mall (contrary to what my now WRONG countdown calendar says). To rub it in, the Buffalo News published an article with the hopeful title "Sports domes at Summit in Wheatfield to be erected next year" . The article basically just states what I already knew: nothing's gonna happen this year. ...Well, that's not  entirely  true: Cynthia Potts, who I've emailed before (because I'm nosy) says that they might get some work done for the winter. Maybe my Christmas shopping idea didn't fall on deaf ears! Well I have my fingers crossed, as usual. -Red Hooded Manatee

Chock Full o' Update

Hey folks, So, first off: Twitter! I have one! Follow it! https://twitter.com/radiokorei Next: Summit Mall news! Well, mall news in general. So it seems the Boulevard Mall is up for sale, which is crazy. Weirdly, WKBW focused their live air story (but not their written piece, ugh) on the Summit. So the unofficial construction date is Spring 2017, which is exactly a year behind schedule. I guess any date is better than no date, but geez. Also, Cocov made a new site for his projects! Take a look at Cocov Destinations . It mentions the Summit Sportsplex project, so it's still happening! Cheers! -Red Hooded Manatee
