My recent post and slide show on Buffalo’s West Village
Neighborhood generated
a great deal of buzz with many inquiries including one from the National Trust
for Preservation. The
National Trust is holding their 2011 annual convention in Buffalo which has
piqued their interest in the city’s great wealth of historic architecture and
its preservation issues.
A few weeks ago the Trust posted this compelling video beautifully
documenting one small piece of Buffalo’s urban decay.
The video is
gorgeous but focuses on the one of the city’s persistent negative aspects.
Since that video aired the Trust determined that they also need to present
Buffalo’s very real positive side. They became aware of the
Buffalorising.com story on the West Village and asked if they could republish
some of the slide show images on their magazine web site. Needless to say
we said yes. You can see the slide show here.
