Nora and Anthony Szeluga sit at the counter of Perison's diner in the Broadway Market in Buffalo, New York April 10, 2011. The city is a part of America's Midwestern "Rust Belt", the heartland of the country and home to big unionized manufacturers like the auto and steel industries. Once a thriving farmer's market, the historic space has managed to survive, and even thrive around holidays like Easter. The couple, who once lived in the neighborhood, only return to the market, where Anthony used to sell produce as a child, twice a year, Easter and Christmas. Picture taken April 10.
