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&#8217;s fine. But places like the Broadway Market are connections to Buffalo&#8217;s old soul&#8211;old Buffalo. Buffalo isn&#8217;t cool because we can ice bike on a fake canal now. Buffalo is cool because living breathing connections to the city&#8217;s past like the market exist. It is the authentic. It&#8217;s this authenticity which has attracted new blood to Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>The east side lost a lot in Buffalo&#8217;s late 20th century decline. It&#8217;s time to position treasures like the Broadway Market for rebirth. And don&#8217;t even get me started on the Central Terminal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>(Thanks, Colin Dabkowski.
