For you out of towners - I figure I'd give you a small tour of the city of Buffalo. This post doesn't go beyond the city limits (Elmwood strip, Delaware, Main street and Anchor Bar) but this should give you an idea of how Buffalo is! Enjoy
Driving into Buffalo from Niagara Street you will see the new court house being build on the left. When it's finished it will be covered in silver glass panels. Is Buffalo going modern?!

As you drive in further - you will be in NIAGARA SQUARE - home of City Hall and the Taste Of Buffalo along with a bunch of other events. This is also where the Goo Goo Dolls played their huge July 4th concert which is on DVD.

The "Chip Strip" is the bar/club scene in Buffalo up ahead. The buildings on the left are condos and office space.

Lafayette Square is home to THURSDAY AT THE SQUARE - a weekly, local summer concert series.

Some buildings in Buffalo. The black one has a mall built inside of it - it sucks, though.

Here is Buffalos tallest building - HSBC tower. On the right, down the road you will see another famous Buffalo restaurant - Pearl Street Brewery. A hot spot before Sabres games!

A cool looking bank on Main Street. This is actually going to be featured in some new movie coming out starring Keanu Reeves. The movie was filmed in Buffalo in the summer of 2010. Apparently he robs the bank or something.

Electric Tower. At night this tower lights up Red and Blue... I think you know why!

Only if Main Street had an actual road. Main Street is dead because of the Subway rails.

Another look at Lafayette Square. The Building on the right is the building Bruce Almighty was on top of (or was supposed to be on top of) when he found out he was god.

Supposedly the worst place in Buffalo... the East Side. This street looks nice, though...

NEW ERA. The rookies always go here to pick out Buffalo hats. I'm not really a hat person.
