(e:paul), (e:terry) and I decided to go for a walk - we needed a destination so we chose a craft show at a church in Parkside. Give me another 60 years before I do that again. Too many decorative soaps and useless pottery.

The walk was nice. I notice new things every time we walk down the street.


Eternally under construction

It's a long way from Los Angeles - how did it end up at this house?

We stopped to check out the ultra creepy and abandoned Millard Fillmore. The inside looks straight out of a horror movie.








This old house across from the hospital is also run down - I'm guessing the hospital owned it?
It is pretty cute on the inside though. I can't believe how they're letting it go




We kept on going through the cemetary when (e:yesthatcasey) and Masumi met up with us. In a car :(


Resting places

Yesterday (e:paul), (e:terry) and I went on the Linwood home tour with Paul's mom.

The concept seems kind of ridiculous - people pay $25 to go see a bunch of rich people's homes, and the money makes their already nice neighborhood even nicer. Terry made a point that it wasn't always so nice and that having nice neighborhoods in Buffalo makes it nicer for everyone. I guess the point is moot because I haven't been volunteering or improving Buffalo lately, so what can I say?

The houses themselves almost all beautiful. The only one I thought was pointless was an apartment building at the corner of summer that had nothing to look at inside. We also didn't see the Summer Street cat clinic which was on tour.





This one house had a fireplace in nearly every room. The tile was pretty similar to ours, but just glazed differently. Their heating vents also had the same design. I don't have the book right now so I don't know the house number.


The rest of the house was really modern - the owner is an architect





This house had so much hardwood everywhere. It's crazy to think that Buffalo had so much at one time people could cover everything in it.


Someone was putting on a puppet show? We stopped to eat at the Black Market food truck - I had a tofu Bahn Mi.


A former rooming house that was completely gutted for remodeling. Anything left over from before was in really rough shape. The house was huge, apparently there will be 5 apartments when it's finished.


Sink in a bedroom. Antique champagne or pee bucket underneath?



Saturn Club was cool on the inside. It has a weird medieval theme. I don't understand why you pay a club to drink with other wealthy people.
