Thanks for posting this.
I just moved back to SC after living in the Northtowns of Buffalo for about five years. My ex emailed me some pics of the trees down in my old neighborhood and I can't believe the devastation. After reading your post I was particularly saddened to hear about Delaware Park. This Olmstead designed park is the most beautiful park I've ever seen and is surrounded by equally beautiful homes with beautiful, mature trees. Such a shame.
Had I had family there I would have stayed. Even with the horrible weather there I am still missing WNY. The people of Buffalo are wonderful (well, outside the political circles, anyway) and they will weather this storm too. At least their hockey team is setting records as the Sabres are still undefeated!!!
Thank you, rocky88!
You are right, the loss of so many mature trees is just hard to fathom.
And woo hoo Sabres! :-D
