Back in 2005, three people who only knew each other from the various projects they were involved within the neighborhood started a discussion about trying to promote and help the Broadway-Fillmore more. \u00a0The genesis of Broadway Fillmore Alive (BFA) happened at a Christmas party that year. \u00a0The idea behind it was to show the world outside of the neighborhood that good things were still happening here. \u00a0We wanted to show the world that neighborhood was still ALIVE.<\/p>\n

Eight years ago today and without much of bang, BFA posted this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Slowly but surely the website is coming together\u2026\u00a0 If by chance you found your way here, check back soon.\u00a0 We should have everything up and running anyday now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

None of us expected the great reception we would receive from the Buffalo community. \u00a0But here is BFA eight years later and still doing what it does best. \u00a0 We like to show that the neighborhood is a sum of all of its parts. \u00a0Sure the neighborhood has seen better days. \u00a0Sure there are still a tone of issues. \u00a0What remains from its halcyon days are the bones of great neighborhood\u2026a neighborhood filled with great places like the Broadway Market, Saint Stan\u2019s and the Central Terminal. \u00a0These places were the foundation and core of Broadway-Fillmore\u2019s past and can be the core for the future.<\/p>\n

Michael Miller passed away in 2009. \u00a0I miss him everyday. \u00a0He would remind me all the time about how important doing what we did was by covering a neighborhood that needed an online voice.<\/p>\n

Michele Johnson has moved on to other projects, but she was the glue of our early days\u2026keeping us balanced.<\/p>\n

Me\u2026I am still here and motoring on and helping too many places to list here.<\/p>\n

Thank you to you for also helping to keep the neighborhood ALIVE and for clicking in here daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
