Adding to the zestful nature of Hertel Avenue, the Centro Culturale Italiano di Buffalo recently held a ribbon cutting for the new Russell J. Salvatore Courtyard. The focal point of the new courtyard is a magnificent fountain that was imported from Sicily.

Earlier today, I stopped over to the Cultural Center to take a look at the new courtyard, which transforms the northeast corner of the intersection into a peaceful and inviting setting, where guests can grab a Pellegrino or an espresso coffee from Café Curcio, while enjoying the manicured landscape. Other aesthetic charms include streetlamp lighting, decorative benches, hedges and flowers, a garden, a flagpole, a bocce court, and a pathway lined with pavers featuring the names of donors.

During my visit, I ran into Russell Salvatore – owner of Russell’s Steaks, Chops and More – and his buddy Richard Cansola, who had stopped by to see how everything was going at the courtyard. Per usual, Russell was welcoming, gracious, and happy to talk about his ongoing commitment to the city.

Russell’s philanthropic contribution to the courtyard is par for the course – it’s his way of giving back to the community that has supported him over the years. The courtyard is his way of ensuring that Buffalo’s cultural heritage remains strong, especially in North Buffalo – the city’s “Little Italy” – home to the Italian Festival, numerous Italian restaurants, and (now) a cultural hub that anchors the neighborhood.

Visit Buffalo Niagara is pleased to announce the appointment of Renata Toney as the new Vice President of Destination Experience. She will oversee the organization’s work managing destination and visitor experience and customer service. Renata will also serve as a project manager, developing community relationships and engagement.

Renata joins us from the Burchfield Penney Art Center, where she was, most recently, communications manager. She was part of the 2008 team that guided the museum’s re-opening of the new freestanding facility on Elmwood Avenue.

Throughout her career, Renata has focused on communication leadership, writing and supervising targeted marketing campaigns for a range of industries. After beginning her career as an intern at Bristol Myers Squibb, she was promoted to publications editor. At the height of the AIDS epidemic, Renata was the first marketing and public affairs coordinator at AIDS Community Services, now Evergreen Health Services. She worked in public relations account management at Eric Mower & Associates and as a marketing director at the Buffalo Museum of Science.

A City Honors School graduate, Renata holds a bachelor’s degree in public communication from SUNY Buffalo State College. She owns On Message Communication, a state-certified communications consultancy.

When not at her desk writing, editing, spearheading new projects and connecting with people, she volunteers, serving on boards of organizations throughout the community — from the Pappy Martin Legacy Society Jazz Collective and Assembly House 150 to The Service Collaborative of WNY, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Buffalo Heritage Carousel, the Bennett-Wells American Legion Post and the Arden-Newburgh Block Club.

We also welcome our new Communications Manager, Michelle Kearns, to the Visit Buffalo Niagara Marketing team. Michelle is now writing and editing stories about the people and things that make Buffalo unique for our website and soon, the 2023 edition of the Visit Buffalo Niagara Visitor Guide. She also showcases the city to visiting travel writers and social media content creators. Michelle spent most of her career as a journalist, writing for the Associated Press, Maine newspapers, the Boston Globe, and The Buffalo News.

She has a passion for story, its power to connect communities, and sharing the communication and story tools journalists use. Michelle left the newsroom to teach writing, communication, and digital media storytelling for a digital media communication bachelor’s program that Villa Maria College asked her to create. She recently helped write, design, and launch the first three issues of Learn Magazine for the University at Buffalo’s Graduate School of Education.

Michelle grew up in the Elmwood Village and left Buffalo to earn a bachelor’s in English at Colorado College. She studied in Greece and France, before landing in New York City to edit and write features for women’s magazines. Her enthusiasm for research, interviewing, and writing led her to newspaper jobs in Maine. She left the Pine Tree State for Boston University and earned her master’s in journalism before coming home to take a feature-writing position with the Buffalo News.

If Michelle is not working on stories, you can find her on her bike, experimenting with recipes, reading up for book club, organizing gatherings for family and friends and, occasionally, playing croquet at Delaware Park. What does she love about Buffalo? The surprise factor. “People don’t know what’s here until they get here,” she said. “And that makes revealing Buffalo fun.”

We value the talents and ideas of everyone on our team and are thrilled to have Renata and Michelle grow with us. The torch of publishing this e-newsletter has now been officially passed on to Renata; expect to hear from her each week.

During the pandemic, a significant community garden sprung up at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Wilbury Place (near the corner of Hertel).

I first learned about the formations of The Garden Church when I wrote about The RawTools Project: Guns to Gardens earlier in the year. What was once simply a large grass lawn has been transformed into a productive garden, tended by the community, for the community. The last time that I inquired about the garden, applications to tend the raised beds were being accepted. Now, there is a significant presence of gardeners that are active at the site.

Passing by The Garden Church earlier today, I was impressed by the transformation of the corner, from a lifeless lawn into a beautiful, bountiful garden-scape. I was so intrigued by the development that I reached out to Pastor Frankie Andrews, who moved back to Buffalo from South Florida with his family, in August of 2021.

“What I love about our garden is the diversity of gardeners,” said Pastor Andrews. “There are 5 gardeners from the church, and the rest are from the community. There are 20 raised beds that are all spoken for. This past weekend 3 more gardeners inquired about the beds, and 3 of the gardeners from the church are going to give them their plots. There is no cost to gardeners. All that we ask is that they all work together on Saturdays, from 10am to 12pm, and for one hour during the week, and that they leave a portion of the harvest for the church, so that we can give it to the community. During the month of July, we gave away over 500 pounds of produce, on top of what the gardeners took home for themselves. We couldn’t give it away fast enough – we resorted to posting on the Facebook ‘Buy Nothing’ page. People would come to pick up the produce, and leave food in the food pantries that are located at the garden.”

I found it amazing that Pastor Andrews and his family are doing all of this without a congregation (yet). The new-ish church is part of Lumber City Church in North Tonawanda. The garden is thanks to Imagine Community Gardens (ICG), which has successfully partnered with 7 regional churches to build community gardens. The Garden Church has also partnered with The RawTools Project: Guns to Gardens, and is anticipating a donation of 10 garden tools (upcycled from guns) in coming days.

Throughout the summer, the church held a number of community events, where gardeners prepared food for the community, using the bounty that they grew. The garden has become a place for people to learn, to grow together, and to meet people from all over the world.

And they are doing this as a church without walls at the moment, since there is yet to be an official congregation formed. Pastor Andrews believes that the first Sunday services will be held around the first of the year.

“In the meantime, we are making sure that we provide for the community,” said Pastor Andrews. “We gave a raised bed to the congregation from New Generation Church on Hertel, so that they could hand out produce to their own ministries. We do this so that people that are hungry can eat.”

I told Pastor Andrews that I never even realized that there was a church at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Wilbury Place. He told me that I was not alone. When he would call tradespeople to fix up the interior of the 100-year old church, they didn’t believe him when he told them where the church was located. But now that there is a community garden, everyone is taking notice.

“It could have been a parking lot that would have serviced people for two hours a week,” said Pastor Andrews. “Or it could have been a community garden that provides healthy food for the community throughout the growing season. One of our gardeners is an occupational therapist. She brings her patients here. Another gardener is a grandmother, who gardens with her grandchildren. For my family, it’s an honor that we get to be here.”

The Garden Church is open to everyone, whether they are reaping and sowing, participating in a pot luck feast, or simply want to be a part of a growing movement that is in tune with a more natural balance of life.

The Colored Musicians Club at 145 Broadway has begun an expansion and renovations that will allow for increased tourism and visitation to Buffalo’s African American Heritage Corridor. Originally proposed in 2017, the project includes restoration of the building storefront, an addition to the south that will improve access, and renovations to the building’s second floor. New mechanicals, electrical and plumbing will be installed throughout.

“This groundbreaking marks the start of a new chapter at the Colored Musicians Club and represents our deep, ongoing commitment to uplifting the East Buffalo community,” Governor Hochul said. “By fostering the expansion and preservation of historic assets along the Michigan Street Corridor, we are celebrating the rich histories of Black New Yorkers and honoring their important contributions in Buffalo, our state, and our nation.”

The not-for-profit club will make critical improvements through the help of a $2 million a grant from Empire State Development’s (ESD) $65 million East Side Corridor Economic Development Fund. The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York also provided $350,000 in funding for the project.

Minimal work is proposed for the first floor which functions as a museum. The second floor club room is currently not handicap accessible except by a chair lift along the existing wood stairs. The addition to the south adds a secondary means of egress and an elevator. The addition is attached via a second story hyphen located to the west on the south elevation and provides a green room, meeting rooms, and offices.

The project:
• Facilitates accessibility requirements (elevator) and a secondary means of egress (stair). It also functions to provide additional support space including a green room, classrooms, meeting rooms, and offices.

• Minimally touches the historic building at the second floor glazed connecting hyphen and reads as a distinct building.

• Presents an independent elevation facing Michigan Avenue at a slight angle. The corner dematerializes on the second floor to provide views of the historic Michigan Avenue Heritage Corridor.

• A small “alley” created between the historic building and new construction references the “alley-like” condition historically associated with jazz clubs, where the entrance was often located in a back alley off a main street. This also references the existing historic stair with a door at the top where one had to knock to gain access to the club.

George Scott, Colored Musicians Club Former Director, said, “We want to thank Governor Kathy Hochul for investing in the future of the Colored Musicians Club. The renovation will benefit the entire Michigan Street Corridor by drawing more visitors to experience the music, history, food and unique cultural attractions of the East Side. By making this significant investment we are making it clear that Black history is important, Buffalo’s history is important, and jazz is a force for telling that story and a powerful way to provide strength and hope to our people.”

Stieglitz Snyder Architecture designed the project.

One of Delaware Avenue’s finest commercial buildings is for sale.  Plaza Group has put the Huyler Building at 374 Delaware on the market with a $3.5 million asking price.  The four-story building has 30,000 sq.ft. of space and a 26 car parking lot.  For nearly eighty years it was the home of Pitt Petri importers.

From the listing:

The Huyler Building was constructed in 1922 amidst a business resurgence on Buffalo’s famed Delaware Avenue. The elegant Classical Revival façade of the Huyler Building befits Buffalo’s rich architectural history. The Huyler company (once the largest and most prominent chocolate maker in the United States) apparently sought to build its flagship store in Buffalo on the city’s most fashionable commercial corridor. Similarly it was probably no coincidence that the next owner, Pitt Petri import shop, with its selection of elegant, tasteful and high-end goods, also elected to make its home on fashionable Delaware Avenue.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.  From the nomination form:

Designed for the nationally-prominent Huyler’s confectionary and chocolates company by Buffalo architect Harvey S. Horton, the Huyler Building is an excellent example of a 1920’s reinforced concrete commercial building. It is cloaked with a decorative Classical Revival detailed artificial stone, and the “Huyler’s” logo is modelled into the decoration. From the late 1800s until the Great Depression, the New York City-based Huyler’s was the nation’s most prominent chocolate maker.

The development of the Huyler’s Building coincided with the widespread growth of commercial activity along this area of Delaware Avenue.  Although Buffalo had three earlier Huyler’s candy and confectionary shops by this time (366, 556 and 660 Main Street), the Huyler Building appears to have been designed and conceived as the ‘flagship’ location for Huyler’s company in the city, housing an elegant restaurant rather than a smaller luncheonette counter typical of the other locations.

Prior to the construction of the Huyler Building, this parcel on Delaware contained a large three-story brick house comparable in size and scale to the adjacent Buffalo Club and Charles F. Sternberg House, now the Mansion on Delaware.

Despite the intention, records are unclear whether the building was ever actually occupied by the Huyler’s company though the company had signed a lease for space.  The initial first floor tenants in the building, listed in the city directory of 1927, were recorded as Pitt Petri Importer, Inc. and an American Radiator Company showroom.

As the home of the Pitt Petri importers for nearly 80 years, the building is associated with the glory-days of high-end retail on Buffalo’s Delaware Avenue.  Pitt Petri first opened on Allen Street in 1924.  One year later the store moved to 569 Delaware before settling into 378 Delaware in 1927.  Pitt Petri was known for high-quality decorative and art goods, retailing home products such as silverware, crystal, china and other goods.  The company closed its doors in 2011.

Erie County Earth Science Day teaches us about our home planet through interactive exhibits and demonstrations in a family-friendly setting

If you’ve been looking for another reason to go to Penn Dixie – ranked as the number one fossil park in the US, then you should consider attending Erie County’s Earth Science Day. This is the day when everyone is a scientist – it’s also a day to hunt fossils. But fossil hunting is just the beginning. A number of like-minded exhibitors will be in attendance on that day, including:

Hamburg Public LibraryBuffalo Geological SocietyExplore & More: The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children’s MuseumGraycliff ConservancyNYGeologyPast & Present Fossil and Rock Shop

Visitors to Penn Dixie will get a chance to participate in fossil hunting, and can explore the nature trails. Other activities include a Memory Quest challenge that will run throughout the day (teams of two or more must search around the park to answer questions and collect tokens to solve a puzzle).

Penn Dixie welcomes science enthusiasts from around the globe, to uncover trilobites, brachiopods, crinoids, and corals that lived in a shallow ocean 380 million years ago.

Erie County Earth Science Day is fun for all ages. It’s also an educational outing that kids will fondly remember for years to come.

One of the most anticipated festivals in the region is just around the corner. Borderland Music + Arts Festival has become an annual pilgrimage for music fans, who not only dig the bands, they also love the idyllic setting of Knox Farm State Park.

Just in time for the coming fall season, Mason Winfield will be hosting a series of Haunted History Ghost Walks (HHGW) in Allentown. Winfield is a regional expert on supernatural hauntings, and he says that Allentown is the one ghost walk that shouldn’t be missed.

“Murders, mysteries, and amorous intrigues… Neighborhood hauntings, Native American legends, and War of 1812 trauma… This is the original ghost walk of Buffalo’s historic arts district – since 1999. Allentown has traditionally been one of our most popular tours, and it’s a killer script.” – Mason Winfield

The ghost walks were not held during the pandemic, which means that there is some pent up demand for these upcoming tours, set to be held on September 23, 30, and October 7, 14, 21.

The tours will be led by HHGW Founder Mason Winfield and HHGW Tour Guide Kurt Schneiderman

Meets by 7:00 pm at Allen Street Hardware Café, 245 Allen St. Buffalo, NY

Tickets: $20 Adults, $10 Ages 7-12, under 7 FREE

“SGT’s 2022/23 season beautifully examines the journey of individuals navigating their relationships with themselves and their families-both those they’re born into and those that they create. Whether it’s a little girl searching for a home in The Secret Garden, one man’s lifelong list of all the things worth living for that is Every Brilliant Thing, or an aspiring composer navigating love, friendship and the pressures of life as an artist at the core of Tick, Tick…Boom!, these stories remind us of the joys in life that can only be found once a hardship is overcome,” shares the Second Generation team.

The season launches on October 14th with a family friendly, abridged version of The Secret Garden that re-tells a classic story by Frances Hodgson Burnett of finding home and family where you least expect it. This production is Directed & Choreographed by Michael Oliver- Walline along with Music Direction by Allan Paglia. Dates for this show are:

Thursday October 20th & 27th @ 7:30 pm
Friday October 14th, 21st & 28th @ 7:30 pm
Saturday October 15th, 22nd & 29th @ 2:00 pm & 8:00 pm
Sunday October 16th, 23rd & 30th @ 2:00 pm

The second production of the season, Duncan MacMillan and Jonny Donahoe’s Every Brilliant Thing is a directorial debut for Charmagne Chi, a city-wide recognized comedic actress. This one- man play takes the audience through his life and his on-going list of “every brilliant thing” there is to live for. A hilarious and heart-breaking look at life, loss, and how we move on. The unique thing about this one? The audience plays every other character!

“Normally when we say ‘audience participation,’ people tense up and think they’re going to have to come on stage and sing a silly song or wear a funny hat, but in this piece they really make a community out of the audience. Every performance is so different because of the people in the audience and what they bring to each show. I think it’s a beautiful way to kind of bring together and build a community within the theater, especially after everything we’ve been through,”

Kelly Copps, co-founder, Second Generation Theatre Company

Dates for this show are:

Thursday March 9th & 16th @ 7:30 pm
Friday March 3rd, 10th & 17th @ 7:30 pm
Saturday March 4th, 11th & 18th @ 8:00 pm
Sunday March 5th, 12th, and 19th @ 2:00 pm

The season closes with Jonathan Larson’s Tick, Tick…BOOM! Directed by Louis Colaiacovo, and Choreographed by Beth Polito with Music Direction by Joe Isgar. This production tells the story of a promising composer living in NYC… but he’s almost 30 and what has he done? A fast-paced musical about being true to yourself and what “success” really means from the composer of RENT.

“It’s a really beautiful piece about being an artist and about what you sacrifice in order to create, the relationships that you make, and ultimately just the different struggles and needs of creative people,”

Kristin Bentley, co-founder, Second Generation Theatre Company

Dates for this show are:
Thursday May 25th & June 1st @ 7:30 pm
Friday May 19th, 26th & June 2nd @ 7:30 pm
Saturday May 20th, 27th and June 3rd @ 8:00 pm

It’s a big year for Music is Art (MiA). 2022 marks the 20 year anniversary of this beloved event-festival-celebration.

What started off with humble roots in Allentown, has become a superstar event along the waterfront.

The longevity of MiA is thanks to founder Robby Takac – bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls, who not only lives in Buffalo, he does everything that he can to provide for its musicians and artists. The free festival is also thanks to all of the volunteers that ensure that it runs without a hitch.

Running MiA is no small feat. This year, the festival includes over 20 stages, performance art, kids performances and activities, dancers, DJs, live artists, exhibiting artists, video installations, skaters, crafts people, glass blowers, AR experiences, and The 716 Sideshow.

In order to accommodate all of the entertainment (11am – 12 midnight), the festivities are held at Buffalo RiverWorks, Buffalo RiverFest Park, and the Michigan/Ganson Grain Elevators. To grasp the scale of MiA, a festival map has been provided:

Not only is the festival map impressive, so is the line-up of talent…
