This week I read about cities rising and rebuilding across America after having fallen on hard times. The city focused on in the article this week was Buffalo, New York. In Buffalo many new things are happening and it is full with innovation and excitement. Whether it's West Side Bazaar's diverse collection of stores and food stops, or the Canalside where Buffalo history meets modern activities, there is plenty to do there! Along with the excitement of 43North (a tech incubator that gives out $5 million in cash prizes each year) the overall atmosphere and people of the area are very warm and friendly! Buffalo is certainly growing into a interesting city!
Analysis- I enjoyed reading this article and hearing about the successes of this city! It's interesting to hear about what's taking place across the country and how our cities are continuing to be shaped. I can relate this article back in US history to the Gilded Age where America was growing by industrial jobs and an influx of many new immigrants. Like the city of Buffalo, the US attracted new people through it's increase of opportunities, improvements in technology/transportation and different recreational activities! It's amazing how our country is constantly growing and changing through different periods of time!
