This past weekend I visited my father and his partner in sunny Buffalo, New York. Yes, it actually was sunny! We had two objectives: Wine, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
The structure and design was amazing. And even more amazing, the building (built in 2007) is actually a working boathouse for a rowing club.

We hit the
Anchor Bar for lunch. The original home of the original Buffalo Wings!
That night we went to the
Skyline Social. it was held in the
Mid Day Club, which is inside the
Liberty Building. Yes, the building has miniature statues of Liberty on the roof. (that picture was taken form a doorway).
The views were spectacular!!
The next morning we joined the
All Wright, All day tour to see the
Frank Lloyd Wright Filling Station in the
Pierce Arrow Museum.
We got the the museum early, and had a blast looking at all the old cars.
 |
| look at the detail!! steerable from the front or back! |
Did you know that they made cars marketed towards women? Pierce-Arrow has a huge collection of the lady cars!
But the masterpiece of the collection is the Frank Lloyd Wright Filling Station.
it was designed for company in Buffalo in 1927, but never built.
Well, it's built now!

Later that evening we crossed the border into Niagara Falls, Canada. We stayed the night at
the Sterling Inn and Spa. The room was amazing. And breakfast comes right to your door!
