Hidden treasures

I am not quite sleepy, again, tonight. I have less than a week before departing for Denton, & it’s hitting me quite hard. Why things seem to be so different this time than before? I mean, I’ve already done the whole leaving-home-for-school thing four years ago; suddenly, this has a bigger effect of drama in my life.

Back to the point, though; I have yet to share the rest of my North Tonawanda/Buffalo experiences with you, and I feel like it’s important that I complete this journey in my blog. Bare with me if you are bored already. But I need a good distraction.

So, during my stay, I got to learn deeper about the history behind the architecture in Buffalo downtown. You would be surprised how much you could discover interesting facts about the place you live in. Ask Mrs. & Mr. B., they were surprised by their own downtown.

Buffalo downtown was a place of hidden treasures filled with rich architectural history & the flourishing economy back in the early 1900s. A lot of famous architects have experimented with new designs & construction methods in this town.

We were so appreciative of the elderly tour guide man, who had so much knowledge of the town & history. Witnessing him with such big passion of love & admiration for his town was truly inspirational on my side. How often do we see that in a person these days?

Perhaps, it’s worthy enough to research your own place to see if it would have anything to offer. Because, you never know that touring you own town could give you an eventful day. My perspectives of Buffalo, where part of life had been in, completely changed. It almost saddens me that the town is no longer filled with the vibrancy that I used to remember.
