While other cities have taken their old public markets and made them something spectacular, the Broadway Market sits languishing. I know everything bright and shiny is happening in other places around town. And that\u2019s fine. But places like the Broadway Market are connections to Buffalo\u2019s old soul\u2013old Buffalo. Buffalo isn\u2019t cool because we can ice bike on a fake canal now. Buffalo is cool because living breathing connections to the city\u2019s past like the market exist. It is the authentic. It\u2019s this authenticity which has attracted new blood to Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>The east side lost a lot in Buffalo\u2019s late 20th century decline. It\u2019s time to position treasures like the Broadway Market for rebirth. And don\u2019t even get me started on the Central Terminal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>(Thanks, Colin Dabkowski.
