I'm a Buffalo native who has always been fascinated with what "used to be there," from my childhood growing up in North Buffalo I often wondered about what the city was like in the past. I would walk along the Belt Line (then the New York Central) and was curious about the ghost tracks which led to an area which I would later discover was the grounds of the Pan American Exposition.
