Here are some pictures from the area surrounding Porter Avenue, which (almost literally) is in the shadows of the Peace Bridge.


Some houses on Columbus Parkway.

thanks for the great pictures. it was so good to see symphony circle. buffalo is so rich in architecture. i wish that more of the buffalo posters would get out of downtown and really explore and document this interesting place.

no joke. 'BuffCity' has hit up a number of neighborhoods. from the grit to the glory. it seems the list is ever growing. 'steel' has put together a few compilations of his favorite buffalo houses, as well as some old buffalo photo sets, and 'xzmattzx' covers something different in buffalo-niagara every time he comes here. 'herodotus'(master traveler!!!) has done some buffalo as well.
and 'westsidejohn' captures some of the most interesting views of buffalo you will ever see. things you've seen time and time again seem fresh and new in many of his photos. he also captures the people of buffalo from time to time.

bungalowbuck, you should dig back a few months. you'll find a gold mine of buffalo.

yea...NMOphoto, JayBird, WZ1, BuffCity, Herodotus, HKSkyline, WestSideJohn, and Steel have all provided photos of Buffalo...some are travelers who check the sights and grab a few passing thru, some are more extensive and have gone into areas I have never seen photos of before joining this site.

SHOW ME where you can find these...

A walking tour of Main Street Buffalo...A Venture into Central Terminal...how about A full day thread of South Buffalo?

Perhaps a Black Rock tour, or maybe the Genesee Fillmore post?

there are many in the archives...if you really just wanna see thousands of PHOTOS of Buffalo click here CitySky Buffalo Photos (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v69/Citysky/)
