Can you name one building where Theodore Roosevelt, Eugene V. Debs, Woodrow Wilson, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Samuel Gompers, Jimmy Slattery, Joe Louis, and Jay Silverheels have all appeared before a Buffalo public? A little known civic landmark on Broadway takes the title.
In lieu of an actual walking tour planned for the annual Jane’s Walk celebration, Chris Hawley will deliver a Zoom presentation on the history of the Broadway Auditorium.
Jane’s Walk is a series of walking tours given internationally in the first weekend of May to honor the birthday of urbanist Jane Jacobs. Begun in 2007, Jane’s Walk is a community-based approach to city building that uses volunteer-led walking tours to make space for people to observe, reflect, share, question, and re-imagine the places in which they live, work, and play.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, Jane’s Walk will be different this year, with many participants finding alternative means to share their place-based knowledge with others. To keep the tradition going in Buffalo, Chris Hawley is offering two virtual Jane’s Walks on Zoom.
