BUFFALO, NY (staffannouncer.com) - The outporing was amazing... After agreeing to give a lecture at Buffalo's Forest Lawn Cemetary about some of the city's great retailers of the past, I was deluged with people offering up their memories, and thirsty for the memories of the stores of Buffalo's retailing past.
Consider this page a taste of what it to come, and check back often for updates on future retailing lectures, and a forthcoming book project.
If you have photos, objects, or just some wonderful memories you'd like to share about Buffalo retailing, don't hesitate to e-mail us here at staffannouncer.com!
Take a stroll down memory lane, and play some classic jingles while looking over some images of Buffalo's by-gone retailers.
