That was my neighborhood. St. Stanislaus parish. Fillmore/Peckham. But when you grow up in it, it's home. I know it's worse now but back in the 60's and 70's it was just a working class Polish neighborhood. It's crazy how it's mostly empty lots now.
It's a perfect (s**t)storm of Buffalo being mostly a pro sports town and SUNY being indifferent to athletics. When I went there in the late 70's they got rid of all of their D1 athletics and there was ZERO school spirit.
