The new rules from the NFL on what can and can’t be brought into Stadiums (AKA:NFL bag blitz,) left many fans committing “intentional grounding” of hundreds of purses and backpacks. Crews scoop up discarded bags at The Bills Ralph Lewis Stadium Friday night
The Buffalo Skyline – Same info as a couple days ago from a different view: The Robert H. Jackson United States Courthouse in Buffalo, New York. The glass entry pavilion not visible in this photo has all 4,536 words of the United States Constitution etched into the glass. The Statler Hotel left of the glass building was designed by August Esenwein and James A. Johnson (architect) and built in 1923 it was the third Statler in Buffalo, the first two were only temporary for the Pan American expo, it offered 300 rooms and bathrooms. Statler was the first major hotel chain to have a bathroom in every room. “A Room and a Bath for a Dollar and a Half.”
The Liberty Building, far left, built in 1925, is a Neoclassical 23 story office tower. Built for Liberty Bank to serve as their headquarters, the Statue of Liberty’s that adorn the roof were sculpted by Leo Lentelli in 1925; one facing west, and the other facing east, representing Buffalo’s strategic location on the Great Lakes. They stand 36 feet tall and are illuminated at night. On the far right is Buffalo City Hall the seat for municipal government in the City of Buffalo, New York. The 32 story Art Deco building was completed in 1931 by Dietel, Wade & Jones. At 398 feet height from the street to the tip of the tower, it is one of the largest and tallest municipal buildings in the United States of America. Far in the background covered with scaffolding is the Erie Count Courthouse where William McKinley’s assassin was tried. And beyond all that is Lake Erie! Buffalo has amazing architecture. Check it out next you visit Buffalo
I wonder what are those two little people(far right lower corner) standing in the middle of the street discussing?
The sun is starting to set way to early!

Some fun info about a few if the buildings in this photo. The Robert H. Jackson United States Courthouse on Niagara Square.

Built for Liberty Bank to serve as their headquarters it was originally called the German American Bank but its name was changed to the Liberty Bank after World War I to remove any connection to that war’s main enemy. The Statue of Liberty’s that adorn the roof were sculpted by Leo Lentelli in 1925; one facing west, and the other facing east, representing Buffalo’s strategic location on the Great Lakes. They stand 36 feet tall and are illuminated at night. In the background is The Rand Building and the third tallest building in Buffalo. At the time it was built in 1929, it was the tallest in the city at a height of 391 feet. It has been suggested that the Rand Building was the inspiration for the Empire State Building. The building is named for George Rand, a prominent Buffalo financier in the 1920s he helped launch radio in Buffalo when he financed WGR in 1922.
