Most Buffalonians would agree that Richmond Avenue stands as one of the city's more beautiful streets, offering a lovely vista with it's linear canopy of trees and well-kept stately homes. So, two years ago when residents and community groups gathered to celebrate the long awaiited re-lighting and reconstruction of the two Circles on Richmond, it was yet another feather in the neighborhoods's cap. The restoration of Symphony Circle and Ferry Circle became glowing examples of years of community and neighborhood perseverence and partnerships. -Jane Morris, Buffalo Rising Magazine

Today the spirit of these circle is alive more that ever thanks to the ongoing dedication of The Olmsted Conservancy Group. Pictured above are Claudia and Ramona of the OCG who spent the day readying The Ferry Circle for the spring season.
