Photos of Buffalo's great abandoned Art Deco train station, the Buffalo Central Terminal. The Central Terminal Restoration Corporation opened the main concourse to the public. The CTRC has worked hard to enclose the building, and is currently trying to find a developer to put the building to good use. The main obstacle to any development, aside from the state of the building itself, is that it is located in one of the roughest parts in Buffalo. The neighbourhood is run down, and mostly inhabited by blacks and Arabs. Any new development to the terminal will most likely be accompanied by neighbourhood revitalization projects.
When I was there, the CTRC souvenir stand was run by the group's PR lady, who will be visiting Toronto next weekend. I told her to go visit the Summerhill LCBO, which she didn't know about but now is very excited to check out. If the CTRC turns the terminal into a giant wine cellar, now you know where the idea got started!
Check out the scale of the concourse... the vending machines on the right look small in this view
Amtrak has apparently made a promise to restore train service to the Central Terminal if the terminal becomes fully renovated.
