Winter Market at Horsefeathers Begins Transition to Permanent Vendors

Only two weeks remain to visit the popular Winter Market at Horsefeathers, located at 346 Connecticut St. on Buffalo’s West Side, before it gives way to a new season of the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market in the Elmwood Village. The transition of the Winter Market also continues, as three permanent businesses celebrated a grand opening celebration on Sunday, April 21.

Officially opening their doors to the public on Sunday were Martin Cooks, The Pasta Peddler and Blackbird Sweets. The first floor and basement will eventually host several permanent food-related businesses and will also offer a community kitchen. The upper floors of the 115-year-old building will feature brand new apartments.

Millard Fillmore Gates Developer Still Looking For Tenant

BUFFALO, NY - Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital closed its doors more than a year ago. If you drive by it today, it looks exactly as it did then despite the fact that a new veterinary medical school was supposed to take over the former hospital.

Chason Affinity Group won the rights to the $65 million project. But according to Kaleida Health, the developer is still working to try and secure a veterinary school as a tenant. They are also still working to complete the real estate transaction and close the deal.

Another delay has to do with the building's assessment with the City of Buffalo.

A Kaleida spokesperson told us that they are optimistic that the deal should be complete in the next few weeks.
