Why?  I worry&#8230;I worried that no one would show up at the Statler and it would just be one big disaster&#8230;when you work on things in B-F, worry is part of the package.  You know what though, I shouldn&#8217;t have worried at all&#8230;the Statler was ALIVE&#8230;ALIVE with what you ask&#8230;THE BROADWAY MARKET&#8230;there were people everywhere&#8230;Market vendors were busy&#8230;the Statler looked amazing&#8230;this pairing of East Side cool with Downtown cool was a match made in heaven&#8230;I literally walked around the Statler lobby and terrace in awe of what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>All the credit I can muster up goes to Bashar Issa&#8230;when meeting with him a couple months ago at the Market, he put the use of the Statler on the table as a way to promote next weekend&#8217;s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/christmas.broadwaymarket.com\">Christmas Fair<\/a><\/em> at the Market&#8230;everything else&#8230;today&#8230;blossomed out of the offer.<\/p>\n<p>In that meeting back in September, Mr. Issa kept on talking about how each time he comes to Buffalo he discovers a new treasure and included the Broadway Market as one of those treasures&#8230;for those of us who work very hard to keep these treasures alive, it was music to our ears.  I guess that is why he knew by offering use of his treasure in Niagara Square to promote B-F&#8217;s treasure the Broadway Market would work&#8230;so much for worrying.<\/p>\n<p>It was just fun to be part of and really set the stage for next weekend&#8217;s Christmas Food Fair at the Market.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago Bishop Grosz from St. Stan&#8217;s said this when he formally announced the Saint Stan&#8217;s Gardens project&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2026\u201dIf you are positive and motivated, you are likely to get good results.\u201d and \u201cLet\u2019s stop dreaming and let\u2019s start doing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That is the truth!!!<\/p>\n<p>Alive&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/media\/marketstatler.wmv\">Click here to view hi-res Windows Media version of slide show<\/a>&#8230;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was walking down Delaware Avenue towards the Statler after parking the Byrdmobile near Franklin and Tupper, I got nervous.
