Buffalo is the city my university is located in. It's only a 15-minute drive from its campus to the downtown of Buffalo. In spite the fact that I stayed Buffalo for the whole spring semester, 4 months, I never went to the downtown. I didn't even get out of the campus except for grocery shopping. I wasn't in good mood that I would go out because plenty of homework kept driving me crazy and the typical freezing cold weather tried making me stay home. It has passed four months since then, and the chilly and hard season passed away. This beautiful season drove me cheerful So I felt like going out to explore the city I have been living in.
A view of the downtown of Buffalo from Lake Erie
The downtown of Buffalo has many tall buildings for its small city. Buffalo used to be flourished until the early 20th century as an ore shipping port, steel-making operation and grain-milling center. It used to rank 8th largest city in the states in 19th century but it is now a local city western New York state.
A photo of downtown. This shot was taken Saturday afternoon, and although there were a lot of stores along the street, there were only few people in the photo. There should have been a lot of people on Saturday's promenade. I felt it like a ghost town. So, when I got to the downtown, I hesitated to get off the train. The odd air made me nervous. But finally, my curiosity got me to decide to get out of the train.

City hall of Buffalo
I felt the past prosperity from the city hall.
Lake Erie
I couldn't stop thinking it was ocean seeing the waves coming. It is much larger than Shikoku!!
This short trip was so nice to forget all about the college study. As long as the nice weather lasts, I will go enjoy Buffalo.

Buffalo looks like a great town!
How long does it take to get to the university from down town?
I want to visit there someday.
Is it still hot over there?

No, it's not like what you imagine. The students in Buffalo go enjoy days and nights in Toronto in Canada. I may have said to you, it's a two hour drive from buffalo. Toronto is a hot city for the students. Toronto and Niagara fall are the best places around western New York to visit for tourists. You could visit NYC as well.
