Well, my friends. I was born in 1948 in Buffalo, raised by superb Italian-American parents and educated at a $10-a-year Catholic parish school run by missionary Franciscans, that kicks the ass of any New England prep school, believe me. A perfect childhood. A perfect little city. Until our playfield behind our school was gutted by bulldozers for the “Boost Buffalo” 50s real estate disaster of the century. Then at SUNY I learned that Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin Building, a dreamlike office building with hand-sculpted wrought-iron staircases and a central atrium, was torn down and yes, they put up a parking lot. But through life I have seen that all the idiots don’t reside in Buffalo. Come to New York, where the bootcamps are held by even bigger idiots. Life goes on. I used to ride to the Museum of Science on Thursdays to draw in the Jr. Sketch Club with my friends, and 5 decades later, I was walking down Avenue Foch in Paris and realized Humboldt Parkway had been modelled after that fabled boulevard.

I lived on Herman street and we would walk the Parkway from Best Street at the Museum of Science all the way to the Gully and the Zoo. It was such a special place to be a kid!

At the time, regional planners were desperate to find a way for folks from Amherst and Cheektowaga to drive downtown. That green space was a tantalizing resource, and the residents most affected were, as a class, underrepresented. Buffalo, at that point, was starting to erode, and the highway was deemed to be an important economic stimulus

I lived at 517 Humboldt Pkwy before this expressway was contemplated. The neighborhood kids played in the park and it was stunning in its beauty. This was all about graft corruption kickbacks and politics. We dont need to point fingers at the bananna republics -we are every bit as corrupt.

A CRIME! And this is the opinion of someone who was born in ’60 who never had the chance to see the sheer beauty of the Parkway. That chance was taken by those with little to no forsight or respect for the beauty that “was” Humboldt Parkway. It robbed future generations also. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM, PAST AND THOSE IN THE PRESENT WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO DESTROY THE CITY BIT BY BIT. WHAT’S NEXT, THE CENTRAL TERMINAL!!!
