The Power of Time
Do you ever stop and think about how much time can do? It’s so incredibly powerful. Time can throw your life into a completely different direction, or it can change nothing. Sometimes, time can bring you back to where you were a period of time ago, whether in the same circumstances or different. Time can bring people back into your life who you thought you’d lost touch with ages ago; it can also take people out of your life that you imagined would always be there. Time can heal wounds, but it can also create new ones. Times can give you the power to do whatever you want to accomplish.
History Can Be a Wonderful Thing
I live in an area that is just barely outside the city limits of Buffalo, New York. For all intents & purposes, I’m a resident of the city, even if technically I’m not. I work in the heart of downtown Buffalo, I commute via bus on a daily basis and I’m always out and about venturing around the city.
My daily bus commute to work downtown involves an approximately four-mile stretch of Broadway Street, including going through a community that was once a very Polish area back in the day. Now, it’s filled with many vacant buildings, the infamous Broadway Market and a couple of businesses here and there that still manage to exist.
Yesterday, I came across a website that lists a number of historic buildings in the city of Buffalo. It includes a list of buildings that are considered “at risk,” some that have been lost and others that have been saved. It’s a pretty interesting website. You can view the listings by zip code which allows you to kind of piece things together and look at specific portions of the city, if that’s what you’re trying to do.
A number of listings I found were interesting. Some noted that the building used to be a bank many, many years ago; others noted famous stores, meeting places, etc.
But there was one listing that really caught my eye.
