So waaaay back in January, #SpookytheBlythe visited ART247, and we were going to go across the street to show you all the canal, but there was too much freezing rain to walk that far outside with Spooky. Well thanks to the imagination tree, I went across the street and remembered this plan, so I grabbed Pumpkin so she could show you this bit of the canal. - A lot of people walking in this area think that there's a waterfall nearby because of the sounds of rushing water, but actually this is where the local spillway meets the Erie Canal. Fun fact; Pretty much since the building of the first locks through Lockport, Market Street has been a spillway area for excess water. Even today it can flood, but because ART247 was built right overtop 18mile Creek, the water does seem to drain away from the building (further down the street some places have problems if the weather gets bad enough). Anyway, when the weather is fine, THIS spillway helped control water flow from the locks and all the old hydro-powered factories back in the day. . . #blythe #blythedoll #bykylelefort #PumpkintheBlythe #blytheadventures #toys #playing #Blytheoutside #ART247 #factoryblythe #blythefake #fakeblythe #instablythe #Lockportny #dolls #dollphotography #eriecanal #eriecanaltrail #eriecanalway #eriecanalwaytrail #dolltourst #touristblythe #BlytheSummer (at Lockport , New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5TJQPDK-Q/?igshid=1x1m3q5q7nsrc
