Okay, so this may sound a bit biased, but Buffalo is one of the greatest cities on earth. We have sponge candy, beautiful pieces of art (shoutout to Shark Girl), fans that stay until the 4th quarter regardless of the score, and of course, REAL wings. But one of the coolest things that make Buffalo so unique and amazing is the diverse architecture you won’t find anywhere else.
The Parkside neighborhood is a place that’s fun to visit on a somewhat regular basis whether you’re new to WNY or have lived here all your life. Lucky for you, the Parkside Community Association is cooking up some events this spring that’ll give you an the chance to truly experience the area and all it has to offer.
Don’t forget, all money raised helps support continuing non-profit programs of the Parkside Community Association—among them are the Summer Arts Camp for kids, Aging in Place, Crime Prevention, Housing Advocacy, Arts and Crafts Show, Traffic Safety, the renowned Parkside Tour of Homes and Garden & Architecture Tour, and the popular free summer “Movies in the Meadow” series.
