Rosewell Park
Roswell Park has been here all my life. It something you don’t think about, like the former child star living next door. Until you see it, until you need it.
Roswell Park is truly a Wonder of New York.

Fixtures of Life
If you grew up in Western New York in the 80’s, you must have visited New World Records, The Towne Restaurant, Amy’s Place, Record Theater or The Continental. Maybe all of them in one day.
I am happy to report that 3 of the five are still here and I managed to hit two of them – Record Theater and The Towne, in one day.
The food is still excellent at The Towne, the staff at Record Theater are still knowledgeable and friendly as they were in the 80’s.
Style changes, class doesn’t.

Solhaven
Many years ago, I worked at the Electric Tower in downtown Buffalo.
One of the most amazing things I have ever experience was watching thunderstorms race in off the lake from the 11th floor. The nickname for the building is "The Power Tower", but the second you get up high enough to get a sense of how big a thunderstorm is, the name pales. On many occasions, I have seen lightning at extremely close range from that vantage point. It is mind-blowing to be in an edifice that is engineered to take direct hits from lightning yet know even the lightning is tiny compared to the storm outside.
Awe-Invoking doesn't cover it.
There is a tiny Cafe in Solhaven that has managed to capture this effect. You can sit with with warm beverage and enjoy the atmospheric effects through the windows, all warm and dry.
