Steve, even though it makes for hardship, now, it's well worth it. That part of Main can be another Elmwood, and with Hertel so lively, now, a real cityscape. It always had great potential, with U Plaza at one end, UB on the eastern edge.
There's a great movie house which complements the North Park theater, lots of book stores and small eateries. Kenmore Ave should be taking off soon.
I like the whole area. I can see Buffalo as a great little city, and very interesting.
Crime needs to be cut, to bring back the burbanites especially. Should have lots of police presence for awhile. Bailey needs this particularly. Used to be a very vibrant community but people too scared to go there.
