"this is a fairly new area that has shown astonishing and eye pleasing growth"
finally an huge insurance company moved down there by the water and set up shop. everyone thought they were crazy, but when we visited and saw their views of downtown, lake erie and the niagara river, everyone stopped laughing.
next came the condos, expensive and mid priced. they were built in all different styles and were pleasing to the eye.
it got to the point where waterfront village could be seen as part of the downtown buffalo view if you looked at it from a certain angle. it is also close to the theater, downtown offices and our beloved water.
we have a navel park, an old canal town that is built in minimalist fashion, shows where the first settlers in buffalo along the canal lived and worked - this is a wonderful place to sit and relax or just stroll along.
there are many projects underway for this beautiful area. we are on the water and anything that is there is only enhanced by it - in any season.
"Overall excellent street to eat, live or just take a walk"
This is a wonderful street to talk a walk on because you can see the mansion up close and just imagine the old style people with long dresses, top coats, bowlers, canes and of course, carriages!
This used to be and in some instances still is home of the richest section in buffalo. The lawns and houses are kept up in pristine condition and i believe they still have bus tours of the area.
Delaware avenue passes our great forest lawn cemetery that has a great number of local and national notables interred there. As a matter of fact, you can take a tour during certain hours and volunteers recreate the people who are interred there - they tell you facts and stories. After you have been entertained and enlightened, you can spend some time feeding the beautiful birds that gather here.
Delaware avenue is a street that harkens back to the "old days" but has managed to keep an up to date vibe which makes it beautiful to visit any time of year.
