Whatever makes her happy. She’s a saint. (Who gets up about 4-5:00am, and 7:15 is almost midday to her.)
Another Fan Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) The Buffalo Zoo is nice. There’s a Frank Lloyd Wright building up the street, the Darwin Martin house. Though don’t think kids would be interested in the later Edited December 9, 2018 by Another Fan 1

Saxum Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I recommend Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa Temple (Cham Shan Buddhist Temple) https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g154998-d3547891-Reviews-Cham_Shan_Temple-Niagara_Falls_Ontario.html It does not cost anything, not far from the falls and nice break spot. 3 hours ago, plenzmd1 said: @Augie wife does not go to mass.

Hell in life and Heaven after life? I sort of would want the opposite.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 If in Buffalo. Go to the foot of Ferry Street on the West Side, off of Niagara Street. Do a hike on Bird Island Pier. Go all the way out into mouth of Lake. Heck, Serviceman's Park, the submarine USS Croaker, Little Rock and Fighting Sullivan's tour? Then head to Falls. When I was a Scout in early 1980s... We camped out on the destroyer USS Little Rock. Not sure if they still do that. ??

We were one of the first groups ever. They forgot, didn't cordon off parts of ship... Had the whole destroyer, and cruisers Sullivan's... LoL... We opened up every hatch and bulkhead there were! Ran about the place. Battle ships make great hide and go seek venues! Boy did we get in trouble!!!! LoL...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 With all the talk about the Army Corps of Engineers in the Great Lakes water flow / diversion thread, would it be possible to visit the Black Rock lock, that lets larger boats navigate safely that stretch of swift river from the Peace Bridge to the International Railroad Bridge? If the troop does go to Canada, the museum at Lock 3 on the Welland Canal is excellent. If you stay stateside, EII might be able to advise if you can arrange a visit to the Corps’ Buffalo office. The maritime heritage of Buffalo can be viewed from different tours that traverse the Buffalo River, which vary from year to year. 1
