Some parks are made for reading and walking, and Delaware Park is one of those.

10 mile this afternoon in the park, getting caught in the rain the last few miles; 10 miles last night in the park; and 12 miles Thursday evening, again in the park.  I love this Delaware Park just a stone’s throw away from my house.  It’s one of many parks around the world designed by famed landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted.  A city park, especially a well designed one, enhances urban life immeasurably.  For me I can’t imagine Buffalo without Delaware Park, would be a body without a heart.

Vacation Video #2 This string quartet warmed up the crowd at Shakespeare in the Park's Macbeth by playing the theme from Game of Thrones (here), a Star Wars medley, Stairway to Heaven, Nothing Else Matters, and Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm pretty sure they also did a lot of the background music for the play itself.

🇺🇸 Antique postcard showing the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society Museum in Frederick Law Olmsted's Delaware Park with Niagara Falls in the background. . The museum building is one of only three permanent buildings still existing from the 1901 Pan American International Exposition that was hosted in Buffalo, located by a yellow star on the map. President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist while attending the Exhibition and VP Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was sworn in as President moments later at a mansion on Delaware Boulevard.
