And why not the Broadway Market
Tonight I read something over on Buffalo Rising about a large scale local public food venture on the outer harbor…I have recently read about other project ideas for local food initiatives around Buffalo.
All the concepts interesting except for one thing…none considering the Broadway Market for use.
Why is that?
We have this 100,000+ square foot market over here in B-F that is screaming for ideas to make it a success beyond the Easter season. Why is it left out of the mix?
The picture above is from Saturday morning…a prime shopping day and time…what is missing is people.
Other cities have old public markets in neighborhoods like B-F that flourish.
What needs to be done to get the community and local entrepreneurs to help engerize and support it? Why don’t we have the local idea people clamoring to help resuscitate it?
I just don’t get it…is it because it’s on the East Side? Is it doomed…dying a slow death while on Easter life support.
The Broadway Market should be the hub of everything we love about Buffalo food and more.
It kills me to walk in on any given day and see it dying.
Instead of looking to create Buffalo food experiences elsewhere, we need more attention and love placed on this treasure that’s been around since 1888 before it becomes one those numerous places we reminisce about after it is gone.
