New York Central Again

Buffalo Bills jacket in the neighborhood

I did really simple photo site for our nephew last night. He’s uploading photos to it right now. It’s a one page site with links to photos that display themselves in a slideshow script called shadowbox 3.0. I really like it because he can put large full screen Flickr size photos up there and if the browser window isn’t big enough it scales them down. The site took about two hours to construct.

I love coincidences. Yesterday I took a photo of Rochester’s long gone train station and today we went to work on Mark Corsi’s PosterArtUSA’s site today and he has some posters of the Art Deco New York Central Terminal in Buffalo. It was abandoned in 1975 but was never torn down, probably because the city couldn’t afford to do so. Recently a historic preservation group has brought it back to life. Mark’s site will have Xcart installed so people can buy Buffalo posters while he sleeps.

Now all we need is that high speed train between Rochester and Buffalo that everybody keeps talking about.

  1. High speed? They are only funding an 11 mile stretch in the middle of nowhere between here and Buffalo and passenger trains will still have to pull over for freights. Only a politician could fund that…

  2. I saw an episode of Ghost Hunters on SyFi channel that took place in this terminal. It was exceptionally CREEPY!
