Urban Prairie...

Still fascinated by the ever increasingly larger urban prairie. Spotted this slide on Adams Street. Seems like one of those playground pieces that was removed from County parks way back.

Awesome vintage T-bird in the distance, too. On Peckham, tucked behind the "vinyl victorian."

Very few people were out yesterday afternoon...or is that very few people live here any longer.

    I wonder what the market would be for a horse farm/stables/riding right in the city would be? Bring back some more roots!

    The farm is going in on Utica. I think the above could be a winner to lure city residents that own horses and would like to be closer to them instead of having to drive out to Clarence or where ever.

    There is already a well-established equestrian center on Amherst St. in N. Buffalo.
