UPDATE December 1, 2007: I am proud to announce one of my photos has been included in the latest Schmapp Travel Guide "Walking in Downtown Buffalo" for which I am honored. Photography is a hobby and I'm learning as I go. I continue to add to this series of classic waterways from Buffalo's past. Now, I present the HAMBURG CANAL and it's associated waterways, the CLARK-SKINNER CANAL and OHIO SLIP and OHIO BASIN. Also, the TERMINUS MAP has been expanded to include the waterways to the north: Slip #1, Slip #2, Parker's Slip, Coit Slip, and the Evans Ship Canal. The area includes all up to Genesee Street. Just added: BUFFALO CREEK (Little and Big) and its associated waterways which had a large hand in creating the "Fruit Belt", you can see from the paths these waterways took it created a fertile flood plain in the east side.

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.
