Building where old Falls Tower was

There is quite a bit of work going on where the Falls Tower used to be on Clifton Hill. They broke up all of the cement that was supporting the tower and disposed of it. They also had a deep trench for a while but that has since filled up. They now have beams that will support the ceiling/roof. The picture makes the space look quite small, but it is surprisingly large, and a small store or concessions outlet would fit fine.

“Bugalicious” With Kevin O’Neill

Yesterday I posted a couple of links to articles about the event at the Butterfly Conservatory called Bug-a-licious Insect Food Festival. WGRZ, a Buffalo TV station, sent one of their reports and there is a video you can see of him at the press day. You can check it out on the WGRZ web site.

Weekend ice storm

Last weekend there was a small ice storm. I guess it wasn’t that small since there was a fair amount of damage from the storm. Everything was covered with a thin layer of ice. In some cases there was enough ice to cause branches to break, or even entire trees to fall. Yesterday when I was out walking I took some pictures…
