There is so much to do here in the winter.
What is the most extraordinary detail, one that goes unnoticed by most, of the city? It saddens me to think that this tree-lined parkway designed by Frederick Law Olmsted was destroyed for the automobile and suburban lifestyle. From what I have read and what friends have told me, Humboldt Parkway was one of the most beautiful, grand streets in all of Buffalo. Though I’ve only been in Buffalo for three years, what is most heartbreaking about this city is the decision to replace Humboldt Parkway with a highway.
What is your most heartbreaking memory in this city? The mood of the city is inviting and infectious. There are freshly painted bicycle lanes running throughout the city and people reclaiming the waterfront. The skyline is crowded with cranes, and every other city block there is some sort of rehabilitation project taking place. On most days, there is an electricity in the air, a constant thrum coming from every corner cafe, tavern, and bodega. If each city is like a game of chess, the day when I have learned the rules, I shall finally possess my empire, even if I shall never succeed in knowing all the cities it contains.Ĭan you describe the mood of Buffalo as you feel/see it?īuffalo is a city bubbling with possibility and wonder.
