Be safe! Do you take the Pennsylvania Turnpike? I can't stand driving on it outside of the Philly area.
I'm taking 476 to 81, or wherever my GPS tells me to go - I've got a traffic indicator so it will reroute me if there's a faster way around traffic. Coming home on Sun is going to be a total cluster - it's the Manayunk Arts Fest which is one of Manayunk's biggest festivals of the year. Basically I'm screwed for trying to find parking.

This article in The Wall Street Journal is hilarious. A man started a tourism business specializing in urban decay that brings out-of-town visitors to Buffalo. Tourists have the privilege of visiting bombed out shopping malls, ravaged public housing, and an empty train station among other spoils. In addition to Buffalo, the entrepreneur gives guided tours of North Korea. This negative article has caused some of the Queen City's most ardent cheerleaders to respond defensively in the comment section.
I'm sure Cuomo is livid that someone is showing the dark side of Buffalo. If only he could convince this guy to move his tours to Syracuse!

Like I thought, some people have a thing for urban decay and oddly, do not look at it necessarily as a bad thing. So, there seems to be a fetish for things like this.
Also, I noticed that it said that homes in the eastern suburbs were being demolished, but I'm wondering if they meant the East Side of the city.
First day back in the area was awesome! Walking into my house for the first time since I left it completely empty was so strange, but the family living there now is absolutely amazing and they are taking wonderful care of the house! I'm so glad it's in good hands The Village of Liverpool was poppin last night for sure, had to drive around for a bit to find parking! Crazy! My friends and I went to White Water Pub, my favorite place, for dinner/drinks. Good times all around! The weather is absolutely perfect here right now, hoping it will come back to Philly with me, lol

Good to hear and I've noticed that during a couple of days off that there is quite a but of activity in Liverpool during the day. That surprised me, as I would think that it wouldn't get as busy until later in the day.

I'll admit I have kind of a "fetish" for urban exploration. There are lots of resources online for fans of urbex, and unfortunately (or fortunately), New York has a lot to offer. This database is one of my favorites: Location Index: United States > New York - Urban Exploration Resource

Upstate NY is the place for that type of thing. I am fascinated by the history of the tuberculosis sanitariums in the area. Your skin crawls just driving by them. The place in Utica gives me the creeps. Display Location: Broadacres - Urban Exploration Resource
