The Origin of this site's Mascot

So...ever wonder who that girl on the front page is supposed to be?

Survey says: nobody!

Okay, joke aside, the character's named Korei Celeste. It's "Celi's Web Corner" because she's an old calling card character of mine.

So what's the story? Well, five years ago, I created this fox character named Korei. "But wait" you say, interrupting me, "that's not a fox!" Yeah, I know. Four years ago I stopped drawing foxes for my own sake (always fun being called a furry) and Korei became a human! I still switch between drawing her as a fox and as a human.

So why is the site "Celi's Web Corner"? Why not "Korei's Web Corner"? Well, people would totally misspell Korei, so Celi was easier.

Why didn't I just use my own name? Because I'm weird, silly interweb people.

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
