"Alive Night" Party
"Alive Night" Party on Friday August 11th at 7PM at Arty's Grill and Tavern at 508 Peckham St. and Memorial Dr. (at the foot of the Central Terminal). The good folks at Broadway Fillmore Alive and Arty's Grill (508 Peckham St. at Memorial Drive) would like to cordially invite you to share some good times with them at their first planned social gathering of the summer!
There are many things that symbolize the special feeling that IS Broadway Fillmore Alive: the grassroots revitalization efforts of Corpus Christi and St. Stanislaus churches and the Central Terminal, to name just a few. These efforts are fueled by the perseverance of neighbors, former neighbors and people from elsewhere in the region who just care enough about the area and its people to come and help out.
Arty's is the perfect place to celebrate these efforts, as it has been a neighborhood cornerstone for more than three decades and welcomes any and all visitors with friendly smiles, great times and inexpensive drinks. It truly is a place "where everybody knows your name"!
So, come on out and join us, celebrate summer in an historic neighborhood and experience some of the goodness that we all cherish in the Broadway Fillmore area. You'll have a great time and want to come back for more!

Broadway Fillmore Alive is a group of concerned citizens whose goal is to work together with community groups, businesses, residents, churches and other organizations to help promote, preserve and revitalize the Broadway-Fillmore area.

As always, we appreciate our users’ patience as we make this transition but we promise it will be well worth it. With faster load times, a comment view …
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …
Free light rail rides on downtown's above ground section could be derailed thanks to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's budget mess. That is the news coming out of a Buffalo Place meeting this morning. Facing a budget shortfall and reduced State operating assistance, the NFTA is scrambling for new revenue sources and is contemplating charging for rides along the lengthy downtown pedestrian mall.
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …
