Broadway-Fillmore (formerly known as Polonia) is a neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, United States.
Broadway-Fillmore is in the lower East Side of Buffalo. The neighborhood is centered along Broadway running westâÂÂeast and Fillmore Avenue running northâÂÂsouth.
Broadway-Fillmore was once home to a large Polish/Eastern European population in Buffalo. The neighborhood has long since fallen into poverty and disrepair in the mid-late 20th century.
Today a large African American population along with new immigrants are trying to breathe new life into the neighborhood.
Goo Goo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik grew up here. The neighborhood later became inspiration for the song "Broadway".
