This is a great initiative being taken by district promoters - the food trucks are an important piece of the Buffalo summertime mix, and given the amazing grounds at Larkin Square, visitors will be able to grab some of their favorite foods, and then sit down and relax at myriad recreational spots. People will also have an opportunity to grab a beer or a wine to go with their food truck favorites. "We enjoy hosting Buffalo's beloved food trucks in Larkinville, and it'll be fun to have so many

Buffalo booster Michael Farrell, along with Erie Community College and its students, has been working hard on beautification efforts on a long-abandoned park in downtown Buffalo. Once the site of a functioning water feature, Fireman's Park eventually suffered from lack of care, and became a symbol of much of the disinvestment in the surrounding area.
