Congrats, Nick! I think maybe this requires a first-person blog entry: marrying in Buffalo.

As a proud former Buffalo Gal, I want to be sure that you all know that Buffalo hosts the largest home garden tour in the nation and had folks from national mags like Martha Stewart and Fine Gardening in town to check it out in July. Garden bloggers from around the country will be meeting in the Queen City next year. For info on the Garden Walk and other Buffalo stories with a different perspective, check out Jim at the Art of Gardening at http://artofgardeningbuffalo.blogspot.com/

My fiance is a Buffalonian and we’re getting ready to get hitched in the Queen City. A fair number of my relatives & friends will come to Buffalo for the first time because of this - thus we’re labeling it as a “destination wedding.” I’m thrilled to hear that some Buffalo Gals have found a way to rebuild this beautiful city. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself!)

Growing up in Detroit in the 50’s to 70’s, moving to Pittsburgh and landing the job of my life in Buffalo, well, I’m a rust belt boy married to a rust belt girl (from Pgh), living well in the midst of the difficulties of high poverty, job loss and the need for structural changes in leadership and applications. I’m biased, obviously, as I know two of these people, working with Erin on the Clean Air Coalition. But there are many stories and opportunities where folks can take their ideas and make huge impacts in the rust belt. With the attention of Time Warner on Detroit, maybe folks on the coasts will open their eyes to what is really going on, and what can work, and will learn about creative leadership in Youngstown…Buffalo…Cleveland….Detroit…Pittsburgh, etc. and not ignore the problems as folks have done for forty years. The downturns didn’t start in the last 10 or 15 years, it’s been going on since the late 60’s.

I love these stories and am glad to learn of this blog!
