By a church on Church St. in Buffalo. Always pays to look around and take in the sights.

The Endless Reunion, Day 3, Part One
John O'Hare led a dozen people around the streets of Buffalo for a tour of the city's rich architectural heritage. John did a wonderful job of giving the details, that left everyone quite fascinated. There was no demand, however, for Budd Bailey to review the history of Buffalo's baseball stadiums. Some of those on the tour were Pat Tunkey, Steve Kies, Yvonne Massey, Jim Jozwiak, Sharon Lowry and Michelle Mangano. You can see them in the photos below.
Ellicott Square Building often hosts political rallies, if only so that the candidates can make a grand entrance. A couple of scenes from "The Natural" (by the elevators) were shot there.

City Hall is one of the great places in Buffalo. If you ever get a chance, take a tour.
Visitors gawk at Niagara Square, which features a tribute to President McKinley in the middle. We're still sorry about your trip here in 1901, Mr. President.
Never knew that the front of the Genesee building was preserved and made part of the Hyatt when the new hotel was constructed.
The Electric Tower is based on the tower from the Pan-An Exposition of 1903, which celebrated electric power and light.

What year was the "new City Hall plaza" dedicated? My former band members can back me up but I believe our Concert Band hauled our butts and instruments on school buses in late 1971 or early 1972. Ron Sutherland was our new conductor and on our way back to Clarence through the suburbs Ron saw a gal chasing her runaway doggie across neighbors' lawns and down the street. The dog was winning. Ron had our bus driver pull over and he said something like "Let's go, guys!" and all the men on our bus followed him out and retrieved her dog for her. I clearly remember one musician saying "That's our guy!". And just like that, we accepted Sutherland into our fold.
