Buffalo NY
8-13/14-2021: Buffalo, oh Buffalo what an amazing and historic town you are! This is the charming east coast that I was hoping to find, the place just oozes history and it seems to have reached a point where the old industrial buildings are being repurposed and revitalized, stirring my long held “Omega man” loft fantasy.Continue reading “Buffalo NY”
