And she remembers when the community was bustling and full of people. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents came from Poland. My dad\u2019s first job was in St. Stanislaus Cemetery. That\u2019s where he\u2019s buried,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>Tisby was one of about a dozen people who attended a public meeting Saturday in the church\u2019s Adamski Social Center on Peckham Street to hear more about a home-development program in which 40 suburban-style homes are planned for a community where houses currently are valued at $5,000 to $20,000. With four different models to chose from \u2013 Warsaw, Krakow, Gorale and Zakopane \u2013 the two-, three- and four-bedroom homes with garages will start at $69,000. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dream would be to buy a house here,\u201d Tisby said. <\/p>\n<p>Bishop Edward M. Grosz, pastor of St. Stanislaus, and Clarence developer Michael McHugh hope to attract more people such as Tisby to the project. They have partnered with M&T Bank and the City of Buffalo to promote homeownership in that community. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not talking about the whole East Side,\u201d Grosz said. \u201cWe\u2019re just talking about a few blocks to show how, when we work together, things can happen. We\u2019re not going to change overnight. We\u2019re not living in a Pollyanna world, but we have to do something.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Buffalo News \u2013 Deidre Williams, 07\/10\/06) \u2013 Maria Tisby was born and reared on Sherman Street on the East Side and remains a parishioner of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1Wcy1-aU","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadwayfillmorealive.org\/2.0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
