Ride the magical Open-Air Autobus!
Download 2007_openair_tours.pdf
The Campaign received
a challenge grant from the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation in 2005. Contributions from
Campaign members, The Rupp Foundation, and The Baird Foundation met the match.
The bus, dubbed the Open-Air Autobus and painted in 1920’s-style green
and cream livery, will be the first open air bus to ever operate in Buffalo.
Riders will not only enjoy the ride itself, but will have 360-degree views
all around the rolling platform, greatly aiding in the architectectural and
historical appreciation that is the focus of the Campaign’s tours.
Tickets for the tours are $20 for the general public, $16 for Campaign for Buffalo members. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ups welcome, space permitting. Info and reservations: 854-3749 or OpenAirBuffalo.org.

Concerned about the Bass Pro/Benderson Proposal for Buffalo's Canal District? Here's who to write.
Letters count a lot more than emails or faxes. Write away!
The Buffalo News: Everybody’s Column, The Buffalo News, 1 News Plaza, Buffalo, NY 14240. Let the public know what you think!
Governor Elliot Spitzer via Laura Monte, Department of State, 65 Court St., Buffalo, NY 14202. ECHDC is a subsidiary of the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), a state agency. The governor controls the boards of both.
Senator Chuck Schumer, 130 S. Elmwood Ave., #660, Buffalo, NY 14202. A lot of federal money and federal approvals are involved.
Congressman Brian Higgins, 726 Exchange St. #601, Buffalo, NY 14210. Biggest public advocate of Bass Pro proposal.
Mayor Byron Brown, 201 City Hall, Buffalo, NY 14202. Nothing bad happens UNLESS Mayor & Council transfer Canal District to ECHDC. Tell the mayor and council that should not happen.
The Buffalo Common Council, c/o City Clerk, 1308 City Hall, Buffalo, NY 14202. See above.
Bass Pro owner Johnny Morris, 2500 E Kearney, Springfield MO 65803-5048. Tell him Bass Pro is not welcome in Canal District.
