Lens View of Buffalo
I frequently use the excellent photos by Nate Farnsworth and Matt Shaver in my posts. This week they were out grabbing pictures in the downtown area. We oftentimes take for granted how blessed Buffalo is with great architecture. Take a look at some of Buffalois well known and lesser known treasures along with some photos of works in progress.
Thanks Nate and Matt!

The NFTA Santa Ride
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way.

Great show and nice work guys!
Does anyone know what is going on with the former Empire of America Realty building at the corner of Oak and Swan? (That is the building just beyond the left field fence of Dunn Tire Park).
I drove by and noticed work going on, windows being gutted etc. It will be nice to see this structure get another life, and I hope that time and temperature marquee on the wall facing the ballpark is either refurbished or removed...it is a real eyesore!
Happy Mother's Day to all our great moms!

WIGS...Because they don't appreciate the work. SSC is a much larger and intelligent community as a whole as far as Urban talk, art and planning.
