Posted February 1, 200817 yr Kaisertown, located on Buffalo's East Side, is a blue collar neighborhood that was developed between 1900 and 1915. Despite its name, Kaisertown is a predominantly Polish-American neighborhood. It's a relatively stable neighborhood; an enclave in a section of the city that is otherwise quite bruised and battered. Let's check the place out ... This is Clinton Street, the main business strip of Kaisertown. Almost all the businesses are located in buildings styled after Buffalo's famous two-flat house, with the business located downtstairs, and the business owners living above. Clinton is a classic streetcar strip; trolleys stopped running along the street in 1950. Kaisertown's housing stock is typical of Buffalo's East Side; small frame single family and two-flat houses on long, narrow lots. Some Kaisertown flavor. Can't forget the little old Polish lady. Where's the babushka?

February 1, 200817 yr Cool! This neighborhood reminds me a lot of Cleveland's St. Clair neighborhood (St. Clair in the 60s-70s). I like Buffalo.
February 1, 200817 yr Looks like East Dayton as well (Linden/Twin Towers area). Nice shots. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 4, 200817 yr Boy this is a great set. You can really see a "Buffalo Style" with those two stories with storfronts And whats more the stores are still in business, or look to be.
February 4, 200817 yr These threads lead to the Q: is Buffalo more Midwestern or is Cleveland more Northeastern? Whatever the case, its clear these 2 towns are surely birds of a feather.
