Street Art 2 ElmwoodCategory: photos
But first if you have more time then I thought I had stop at Blue Monk and look close and you will see those are streets I was trying to get a picture so not sure how readable the Streets on map are but check it out :)
I should say I'm sorry this was all kinds of chalk art in front of the bank and it was over whelming with people there and couldn't figure out how to get a picture of it some was in shadow and some sun and thought it would just be dark looking with both as it often is......

Soulfull Strange SundayCategory: life
So with no camera went down to Canal Side ...... I had no camera I had no idea The Peacemaker was still here ... It looked great and was really tall and I noticed something it looked and I might be wrong is taller then skyway um that might be a problem Yes you can go around it but wouldn't it be cool if you wanted to go through that way.......
It felt so odd not naked really but a strange feeling to not be able to take photos...
It was Brisk down there aka cold to me... So props to the people out in the water in kayaks ouch... I also saw people getting on Miss Buffalo and some band bet even with the cold it would be fun band and bose but still Hardy or is it hearty ?
I also saw this Really cool little girl or maybe it was the parents green dress and top with tiny green hat and like leather fighter pilot glasses yeah like steam punk or what you might call alt modeling getting her picture taken ....
I finally saw the new Hispanic Memorial that is really nice what I mean is the craftsmanship is amazing it is kinda scary in a good way ......
had to go to that tall observation deck and there is all kinds of stickers on like a water pipe interesting....
On my way out there was some kind of bike thing there where a bunch of them or is that people on them that there was a bunch of it isn't like they rode down there or like dropped their bikes off to hang out .....
Then it was off to CasaDiPizza on Elmwood didn't know how filling the loaded fries would be couldn't finish my double order with soda pop but had them after the Bills game as I enjoyed the Emmys but not the loss of my teams.....
It is hard to explain how odd the waterfront felt but still a good time....
They did spray at my place for the bugs and I have other stuff to do like vacuuming gotta figure out why it over heats and stops though......

These are pretty cool! I hope they just don't get tagged and taped over like all the normal ones.
