As we experience the initial hints that summer 2014 may be waning in Western New York (after all, the Erie County Fair is just over the horizon), I thought I’d share some photos that I took on July 1st while driving around Buffalo in preparation for a posting soon thereafter.  The images reflect the spirit and pride Buffalonians feel for their neighborhoods throughout the Queen City – neighborhoods that deserve to be nourished and protected.

The images below are certainly just the tip of the iceberg – dozens of other block clubs and neighborhood groups undoubtedly have their own displays that are meant to beautify the streets and represent the self-respect of the men, women and children living nearby.  Please let me know where else I should be looking.

Thanks.

While they may not depict “block club signs,” I’d like to share a few additional images that I enjoyed while traversing the streets of Buffalo, NY on July 1, 2014: 

With All Due Respect,
