too late

I drove though Buffalo today on the way home from Erie PA. On the way down I had been planning on stopping into town and at least getting something to eat & drink.
But everything ended up being later that I expected (7PM) and I bailed on that plan.

I miss Summer Buffalo, I haven't been to a Thursday at the Square/Harbor yet this year.

JULY

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

Its july but allready I notice cicadas starting to drone. It was feeling very dog days today before the sun got hazed out and a lot of peoples lawns are browning.

I spent some time this weekend and last on the Genesee Valley Greenway riding a bike. One trip was about 20 miles and yesterdays was about 10 miles.
The trail is along an old canal towpath-cum-railway line.

My mom had mentioned earlier in the spring about a washout on the trail but I just saw it myself last weekend.

There were TRAIL CLOSED signs north and south of it but you could walk around it with careful footwork. Slip and you might just break your neck.

Its hard to tell perspective: it was at least 25 or 30 feet to the bottom

One of my former neighbours moved mid-semester to my old multi-flat house on Warren & South because someone was shot in gang crossfire right in front of her at her former flat across the Genesee in one of the streets that directly lead to the park.

But it is still a pretty cool eerie walk if you want to creep yourself out. I really the old railway bridge in the GVP. It was a fun place to take people and hang out and not too menacing.

tinypliny writes at 08:51:48 07/11/11 - Comment #63538: Much as I would have liked to say yes, the answer is a big no. Spread over the whole summer and fall, I covered quite a distance thanks mainly to my landlady who lived beyond the trail and drove circuitous routes to drop and pick me up at various points. In additiona, the international office had some relationship with the "friends of the greenway" and organized several trips for many of us that semester (so not all of the walking was by myself either. Only some of it was... and unfortunately it was the stretch where the murder happened, or so they told me!)

I had just learned to bike then and couldn't quite work up the effort to take the bike beyond Genesee valley park. hehe

paul writes at 12:41:15 07/11/11 - Comment #63519: Looks fun. I haven't heard any cicadas here yet. When I was living in south Carolina back in 1995, the cicadas were so plentiful that it was deafening sometimes.

tinypliny writes at 11:16:04 07/10/11 - Comment #63518: I think there were a few murders there a couple years back... that was one of the reasons people were concerned. I didn't know about them at that time, but it did keep me away from the trail later.

tinypliny writes at 11:13:06 07/10/11 - Comment #63517: Wow - I walked that complete trail in my 3rd semester by myself and later freaked out many sheltered people in my department who thought it was unthinkable. I especially liked the old railway bridge... Did you go past it? I don't know if you could ride your bike on it though. You had to whack a few bushes away to get to that trail leading to the bridge at that time.
