watched the Bills Offense and Defense play against each other at their annual charity softball game & obviously Buffalo food items raced each other too. Chicken wing won. Last pic is bad zoom of Chad Michael Murray

I’m here

well, with Back to Black at 9, I think my ballot is done. Can’t believe there was no love for B’Day (Beyoncé’s best album!!) #xpncountdown

Last day for the #xpncountdown! Wondering where any of my other picks will land

uhhhh why is Library of Congress proposing to change the heading of Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism to Gender-Critical Feminism, a term that is not even in the dictionary classweb.org/tentative-su...

This is my #xpncountdown thread. Off to a strong start!

Show me four of your necessary December watches

At the top of Byers Building on Pearl St, Theater District, is a ghost sign encouraging people to “see Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures.” The building was owned by James Byers & Sons, a film distribution company, then by MGM, then by Saturn Jewelry Co. Vacant for decades, sold 2023 for redevelopment

Very tough to read this one. Located at 499 Washington St, next to Mohawk Ramp. Former Gerber Nott & Co Wholesale Millinery (more info here commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ge...)

I’m soooo ready for the countdown this year and these are my submissions. LFG!!

The Genesee Picture Frame Company (est 1902) is a classic not quite ghost sign that everyone knows and gets touched up every so often. The business is still there w/ diff name. This pic is from a few years ago. Unfortunately there’s a big ugly electric sign underneath it now that detracts from it.

Exterior of Kleinhans Music Hall designed by Saarinens, 1938-40. Funded by both private funds & PWA money. Lots of curves, texture, clean lines - the brick captures light beautifully. RFK & MLK JR have both spoken here.

i’m gonna start a new Buffalo ghost signs thread here. i spotted this new to me one where they’re doing some construction on Oak St. The building next door that covered/protected this sign was demolished sometime in the last year or so revealing the ghost sign

Reed Library at SUNY Fredonia designed by I.M. Pei is a gorgeous study of concrete and light
