July 9th. A Taste of Buffalo

Another one of the traditions we had formed pre pandemic was the food truck festival in Buffalo. Fortuitously it is held soon after the Allentown Arts fest, and since we had not started our trek to the East yet…we were able to attend.

Really its just an excuse to spend another weekend in Buffalo…..this town has been our home from home over the last few years…and it is really good to be back.

The festival itself was very busy again…which was great to see. We made the decision early to stop and have our favourite ‘Mike’ sandwich at Spot coffee……which kind of ruined us for the tasters….but the lines were long for the trucks…so we opted for a people watching tour this year.

City hall in Buffalo is such a lovely building, and that end of town has so many fabulous structures . From a conversation we had with one of our local friends some years ago….the greatest thing that happened to Buffalo was that, in the 50’s, when all the other major cities were tearing down their 1900’s to 1930’s architecture and replacing them with glass and steel, Buffalo was too poor……so all those beautiful old buildings are still standing…and are now being restored…..

There are always some great murals and unexpected artwork in this town. (Among the many things I love about this place..!!)
