While at at Kaminski Park the other day, I bumped into another East Side advocate…David Torke.
Dave has an uber blog called fix buffalo today that deals with East Side issues.
He was there taking some photos of the park…
From David’s blog…
“I checked out Buffalo’s newest urban park yesterday afternoon. You’ll remember Waldemar Kaminski and the millions he donationed to Roswell Park. Well there’s a two acre park here that’s named after him on the City’s near East Side. While walking through Kaminski Park I unexpectedly met-up with Chris Byrd, the guy behind the scene at Buffalo’s other blog devoted to East Side events and issues, Broadway Fillmore Alive. Chris is also the pulse behind Performing Arts High School PTO/alumni organization. He grew up around the corner from Kaminski’s and recounted how the store was an everyday stop for people living in the neighborhood.”
