March 20, 2023: Rural scenery off Jewett Holmwood Road, Town of Aurora, New York The rolling hills and pastoral scenery of the "Southtowns" of Erie County, New York are on full display in this pleasant landscape as seen off Jewett Holmwood Road near the corner of Davis Road in the Town of Aurora.
February 28, 2023: NFTA Metro Bus 16 at roundabout at corner of South Park Avenue and Big Tree Road, Hamburg, New York An inbound NFTA Metro bus on Route 16 enters the roundabout at the corner of South Park Avenue and Big Tree Road in the town of Hamburg, New York. This bus will end its run about an hour later <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/carrotflowerproductionsintl/53499796475">in front of the Allen/Medical Campus Metro Rail station</a> just north of downtown Buffalo. The lovely Queen Anne-style William J. Heiser House, built in 1901 and now home of the Trophy Point construction services firm, is seen at far left.
February 17, 2023: Knights of Columbus Council 2220 clubhouse, Hamburg, New York Aside from the fact that it is not a church, the clubhouse of Council 2220 of the Knights of Columbus serves as a fine summation of the typical style of architects Shelgren, Patterson & Marzec: a relatively conservative take on Modernism with a notable abundance of Classically-derived embellishments. It stands on Pierce Avenue in Hamburg, New York. If you're an architecture buff like me, you can read <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/53577662398">more about the building</a> at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/">Western New York Architecture Deep Cuts</a>, my other account where I go deeper into the weeds about these sorts of things.

February 19, 2023: Vidler's 5 & 10 store with street clock, Main Street, East Aurora, New York A winter afternoon scene outside the famous Vidler's 5 and 10 store in East Aurora, New York. Sprawling across four adjacent storefronts lining the north side of Main Street between Church and Pine Streets in the village center, Vidler's traces its history back to June 1930, when namesake founder Robert S. Vidler opened the so-called "Fair 5¢ to $1.00 Store", offering Depression-wary locals a modest range of bargain-priced merchandise in a 900-square-foot rented space. Vidler purchased the building outright in 1946, expanded into the neighboring storefronts gradually beginning in the 1960s, and in 1987 the store began its ascent to the status of kitschy tourist destination courtesy of a series of local television spots featuring "Bob and Ed", the second generation of the Vidler family to operate it. Today, aside from the dizzying range of gifts and knickknacks it sells to throngs of loyal visitors, Vidler's is known from coverage in <i>Business Week</i> and <i>Martha Stewart Living</i> magazines, and has been featured on the small screen in many of the made-for-TV Christmas movies that have famously filmed in East Aurora. The street clock seen at right, manufactured by the Verdin Company of Cincinnati, was unveiled in 2000 to celebrate Vidler's 70th anniversary in business.
Knights of Columbus Council 2220 clubhouse, Hamburg, New York, February 2023 As seen in February 2023, the clubhouse of Council 2220 of the Knights of Columbus, located on Pierce Avenue at the west end of the village of Hamburg, New York. Completed in 1969 to a design by architect Fred Marzec of the Buffalo firm of Shelgren, Patterson & Marzec, this building, aside from the fact that it is not a church, serves as a fine summary of the firm's aesthetic predilections: its style is a relatively conservative take on Modernism with a notable abundance of Classically-derived embellishments (note how the façade is segmented by stylized stone pilaster strips, as well as the ornamental brickwork at the top, fashioned into a dentil row and false parapet), and its footprint is oriented at a 45-degree angle relative to the street, one of their stylistic signatures at the time. The $250,000 construction process commenced in the summer of 1968 on the site of the converted private residence the council had previously used. (Interestingly, the annex that had earlier been placed on the south side of the original clubhouse, seen in the background at right, was spared the wrecking ball, therefore the main structure seen here is technically an addition to the addition.) Comprising 10,500 square feet devoted principally to use as a ground-floor gymnasium with locker rooms and showers in the basement, the space was designed with versatility in mind: through the use of a mechanical soundproof partition, it can easily be repurposed as a dining room for banquets or as an extension of the meeting space in the adjacent Council Chamber. Offices for the council's Grand Knight and Financial Secretary, as well as storage rooms, occupy the balance of the space. Dedication services, in the form of a Mass held by Auxiliary Bishop Bernard McLaughlin of the Buffalo Catholic diocese, took place in December of the following year.
