(By Andrew Golebiowski – Corpus Christi Church) Corpus Christi Church celebrates the tradition of Candlemas-Matki Boski Gromnicznej (Our Lady of the Thunder Candle) on Feb. 2. People brought their own “Thunder Candle” or “Gromnica to church to be blessed. Some of the candles brought to church had been carried from Poland.

After blessing, the candle is taken home to be lit during storms and other times of trouble, or to be placed in the hands of a dying person to allow the light to lead them to the next world.

David Torke, owner of the Fix Buffalo blog, mashed up the data provided by the city last week of their upcoming demolitions and Google Maps.  I featured the data in a post here called Demolishing Polonia.

When you look at the demos coming on a map, you get a real sense as to how this really impacts the neighborhood.

Here is a link to the Google Map—>

Polonia is truly being demolished right before our eyes.

The Project for Public Spaces is doing a survey on the Broadway Market to determine where shoppers come from and other info.

Please take a moment to fill it out.

I heart 703 Fillmore.  It is on Fillmore just south of Broadway.  Long before being the First Holy Temple Full Gospel Baptist Church, it was the Masiel Furniture store built in 1925.

In the pictures above, you can see some of the detail…look at the old awning framework and some of the awning still left.

I am glad the building is in use.

It is another little rough around the edges gem of a building in B-F.

Local radio personality Allan Harris let me post these here.  He had posted these on Facebook back in March of 2011.

It is always seeing photos and images of the Central Terminal from different points in its history.

These were by Harris in college for a photo class.

Great stuff!!! Thanks Allan!!!
