Notes:
Sarah and I headed to Best Buy to exchange the video camera (replace with a Samsung H300) and then ventured to West Seneca for lunch. After lunch, we made our way into Buffalo proper and drove around downtown, Elmwood, and North Buffalo, among other places. There are some really nice neighborhoods in Buffalo, not to mention parks designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. I thought I’d like it here and I was right. We walked around downtown a bit and then came home around 6:30 for some very good takeout pizza.
It was really warm all day. Called my parents tonight. Allergy issues all day so I dosed on Benadryl.

Buffalo is high on my list for its Louis Sullivan architecture and for being such a wonderful Rust Belt City. I rank it up there with Lisbon, Detroit and Barcelona as a city I want to revisit.
Great city, especially Shea’s Buffalo performing arts center.
I could live in that theater. So grand, so elegant.
