A fundraiser to honor a Western New York man known for fighting colorectal cancer is up and running, literally. It's called Pain in the Canal, where people try to run the length of the Erie Canal.
The Buffalo Memorial Auditorium closed its doors in 1996 and was demolished in 2009. Now, the last piece of the redevelopment of the site is about to get underway.
Plans to fill the big void at Canalside are now moving forward as Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a request for proposals to redevelop the North Aud Block in Buffalo.
