      People don’t care to fact check when the are blasting out shit content for ad revenue. It’s all about amount of shit not quality of shit 😉 hence the beginning of the downfall of UA-cam.

      The first Statler Hotel was built across from the Ellicott Square Building in 1908. Unfortunately it was needlessly demolished for a hideous parking lot in the early 60s.

    Thank you for this stunning footage. It is a perspective I have never experienced before. Kleinhans is home to our world renowned philharmonic ORCHESTRA, as well as chorus.

    You stated an inaccurate year for the founding of Buffalo. It was mapped out by Joseph Ellicott in 1799 and was founded in 1802.

      I thought Joseph Ellicott didn't resurvey the streets into the Niagara square radials untill abouts 1815 after the British burned down the city twice during the new years event of 1813-1814. Also he tried to rename it New Amsterdam, with the name Buffalo predating any records.

      There is a "Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus", but the main tenant in Kleinhan's is the Buffalo Philharmonic "Orchestra".

    You forgot to mention wide right, no goal, forward pass, bloody neck and now coin toss. And the only team to ever win a professional Championship trophy, were the Bandit and the Blizzard's. And 95% of Buffalo can't even name one player on the Buffalo Bandits.
    Do we have to mention the Niagara Falls Police blotter also?
