The Washington Market Café
When I stopped in yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to see that the front of the market was much more spacious. The market mural was very noticeable since the tables and chairs were added. The addition of plants in that section helps to draw the mural into the café space. Father/daughter owners, Victor and Amy Khoury, told me that the lunch crowd has been very appreciative of the new addition (unfortunately I arrived around 4pm, well after the lunch crowd had dissipated). Instead of being tucked towards the back of the market, breakfast and lunch-goers can now 'see and be seen'.

Buffalo Faces Potential Invasion
Many people expressed concern when the oldest tree was threatened, it’s a wonder how many people might be concerned if more than just one tree was threatened. Unfortunately, we may find out sooner rather than later. Pennsylvania and Michigan have had their ash trees absolutely devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer, a shiny green bug that came overseas from a wooden pallet and is now spreading as wild as a forest fire.
Since it was discovered in 2002, it has killed 40 million ash … - Today, 12:03am

Now, the popular program, which was previously only available on Wednesdays, will also be available on Sundays.

From b-movies to Mystic Motion
Through our b-movie madness night (Sundays*), we've been introducing people to the New Phoenix Theatre on Johnson Park. It's been really great to see the look on people's faces when they first walk into this historic building built in 1885. That's because the history of the building is really quite something. At one point it was a lecture hall for Buffalo Seminary. Then it became a séance house before becoming a soup kitchen. Eventually the building, like so many others in Buffal … - Yesterday, 3:44pm

Ukrainian Club delivers promise of cabbage rolls
Once upon a time, the only place to get a good cabbage roll was at a peasant's home in an Eastern European village. Around since the 1930's, the Ukrainian-American Civic Center, one of the oldest operating ethnic clubs in the area, has served the social welfare needs of immigrant families.
My family was one of them.
Many dances, weddings and holiday events have been held in the hall. I have a glorious picture of my grandmother decked out in an eerie Santa-like formal gown.

This is just brilliant. I could never put my finger on it, but the split nature of the market (two separate dining areas, convenience store in front and market in rear) really made the place have a split personality. I love the idea of a unified layout sense for the market, with a bright dining area up front. This could be the start of something great!
