Ride it like a champ!

Work continues on the wine bar across the street from me. Workers started to put on a new brick facade this week.

Me and my friend Darrell spent our day off today being tourists in our own city. We started at Buffalo City Hall (c.1939).

The support columns in front of city hall.

One of the many murals in the lobby.

The ceiling of the lobby.

The tour included the Mayor's Office.

The amazing Common Council Chambers.

Now up to the Observation Deck.

The top of the new Federal Court house under construction.

Looking out at Lake Erie.

The useless snaky sky way.

All thats left of the old Memorial Aud.

There's a great view of the Holding Center's roof top prisoner playground from atop of city hall.

Lady Liberties on top of the Liberty Building.

Some of the unique architectural elements on the outside of the building.

Next we moved on to the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Servicemans Park. The first ship we toured was the USS The Sullivans. The Sullivans is a 376' Fletcher Class Destroyer commissioned in 1943. The destroyer was named after 5 brothers who died in Guadal Canal essesntially wiping out an entire family.

An Officer's Quarters. Much bigger than the peon sleep quarters.

This is a long tour. I need a nap!
