Foundation, freelance web designer and online blogger\/journalist. Currently, Byrd calls a Queen City suburban neighborhood his family\u2019s home. Yet ask this 43-year-old about his strongest connection to his hometown and Byrd will passionately share stories about Buffalo\u2019s Broadway Fillmore area and the Broadway Market. There, amid the East Side neighborhood\u2019s crumbling infrastructure, this young urban professional has found a connection to his past, a purpose for his present and a strong motivation for his future.<\/p>\n
