Today in the Hydraulics

If you have a chance to check out the Hydraulics with Chris Hawley - do it! I had the unexpected opportunity to hang with Chris for a few hours in this amazing part of the City on Saturday afternoon.

We walked along Roseville Street [google map] and admired some of the coolest cotteges in the city. Chris introduced me to a warehouse building designed by Buffalo's own Louise Bethune and later we ended up at Sharkey's and heard some crazy stories about growing up in the Hydraulics. Very cool spot with neighborhood pics on the wall from back in the day.

I'll be heading back and keeping track of what I see in my Hydraulics flickr series. Really, a place to explore.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
