Isn't it hard to believe that the historic Buffalo Central Terminal Lawn used to be a PARKING LOT when the campus was first built?

Pictured here is the Lawn in its earliest days. You'll notice a distinct absence of trees. WE ALL have the late, but never forgotten, Yuri Hreshchyshyn to thank for that! Yuri was an incredible advocate for urban trees, green space, and our beloved Buffalo Central Terminal.

Thanks to Yuri and scores of volunteers investing their time, talent, and treasures, this space has been transformed into a beautiful green space. This we honor Yuri's work and with every gathering held at this special landmark we celebrate his legacy in the City of Good Neighbors.
