    I had lunch today at Buffalo RiverWorks for our company’s 50th anniversary party. I was totally blown away by this place. It’s absolutely massive - 4 bars, restaurants, 2 full size hockey rinks, an indoor roller derby rink, and tons of activities. They had rock walls, a rope course, kayaks, and a couple of floating tiki bars you can rent.

    It’s at the site of an old grain mill - Buffalo has been talking about revitalizing the waterfront for years and I think they got a real gem here. The food was great too.

    Yep, and that thing was moving some serious air too. :yes:

    I gotta say, I’m surprised they managed to get “bigassfans.com” as their website name... :D Then again, I suppose that’s probably something you’d check on before you go with that name for your business. :rofl: :lol:

    I was an Energy Specialist a few years ago and was in a meeting with a school superintendent. An engineer told her to get a Big Azz Fan for the gym and I was like WTF?

    The motor doesn’t make any noise. A little pricey though.

    One can see why you liked it Shawn. It's easy to see why you were blown away.

    Sadly the only thing WNY has going for it is tourism. Great to see they upcycled that property. It's been on a Demo/Rehab list for a very long time.
    There was a website and I can't remember it but it had a lot of pics of the inside of that grainery over the years as it progressed into ruins.
