Why The Name Change Elmwood Strip?

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the place referred to as the Elmwood Village, I just hate the new name. I think it expresses an aire of pretension by trying to exclude itself form the rest of the city possibly to align it with a more suburban flavor.

I think the sign that says, "Welcome to the Elmwood Village" on the front of We Never Close is what did it for me.

Frankly, it is a strip - it is a straight street that goes from one end of the city to city center and business does not travel much in any perpendicular direction.

Is the point of the name change just to make real villagers more comfortable with shopping there? Or is to make the people that live there feel like they live in a village. Is Hertel/North Buffalo going to become the Hertel Village in it's footsteps?

It seems like it takes credit away from the City of Buffalo be declaring Elmwood to be a Village. "This part is revitalizing, but we are not really part of the city."

Maybe I shouldn't even care now that i live in Linwood Shire, ;)
