The garden looks so colorful right now. Apparently we are a Buffalo in Bloom garden, whatever that entails.

HimbeerenCategory: garden
(or raspberries) is what I thought these were. But they're really just unripe blackberries. I'm glad Paul told me before I tried to eat them. There's a ridiculous amount of them on the blackberry bush, I can't wait for them. Not so many blueberries but the ones that are ripe are huge.

Spider tiresCategory: allentown
Allentown put out these bike tires as some sort of art thing in May. Since then they've been floating around as a living trash sculpture. One time someone hung it in a tree and it looked like a spider.
Someone also filled in the trash garden with some plants. Hopefully it'll stay nice.

They're 100% real.
I can't decide if that story is disgusting or hilarious. Maybe a little bit of both. I guess you could have a garden year round that way.

Are the plants in the trash garden plastic?
I remember a few years back in the evening before the Garden Walk started, I saw one of the neighbours on Pearl St frantically at work sticking in random plants in his front yard. Overnight, the terribly neglected front yard got a ridiculously good-looking facelift. If you looked closely, you could tell it was all plastic. But that didn't stop many visitors from heaping wonderment on the perfect plastic tulips the next day.
What was pathetically funny was all the neighbours who had actually toiled through the summer to get real gardens getting beat out by the bloke who planted an overnight plastic one.

Night walking on antsCategory: walking
After getting out of work early tonight I forced (e:paul) out of bed for a walk.
Ant errywhere. They were swarming this dead slug, it was really gross.
This parking lot next to Globe is on it's way out, woop. Beyonce even visited to tag her name on the barriers.
Bike or Bar had a redonk light show going on
Mode finally has a new place opening up in it. After 5 years. The sign says Saigon Cafe - is it related to Saigon Bangkok?

Starin Train StationCategory: buffalo
After the Italian fest we continued our bike ride through Parkside and the Park before heading home. The Starin Parkside neighborhood is so ridiculous and I always forget about it. Not only are the houses huge but the roads and lawns too.
One of my favorites that is not so big but so cool is the old belt line train station at Starin and Amherst. It's sunk below the street next to the tracks and has this old cobblestone driveway down to it. You can rent it on airbnb for $300 a night.
We had a pretty shitty experience at the park (ask (e:paul)) but Hoyt lake was especially bad that day. I assume it was the rain.

Everybody loves an Italian boyCategory: buffalo
(e:paul), (e:terry) and I went on a bike ride after getting our hair did. Terry wanted a cannoli so we stopped at the Italian festival for a bit. For once the stands were a little less fair and a little more Italian food.
The cannoli were so amazing. We also got an eggplant roll up and free cheese samples. Yum.
Making it rain on them ho's.
The crowd was not very Italian but is North Buffalo even Italian anymore?
Jewel of India served lasagna and pasta. I wonder if they were forced to have an Italian menu.
The city of Buffalo would like you to recycle the crap they are handing out.

You know I always thought cannolis could be 100X better with whipped cream. It's such a pity that's not whipped cream in there - it is some flour-y sugary thicker concoction. I am not sure I am big fan of that.

I love the recycle box ready, recycling information.

You'd only be able to steal two or three at a time but they'd be worth it
DAMMIt. I want those blueberries. Consider yourself lucky I am not up the street anymore!
Lovely pics :)
It entails snooty judges traipsing through your garden, drinking your wine and eating your cheese.... and stealing some berries on the sly.
