Keith Building

The B.F. Keith building at 1621 Euclid Avenue from the Cleveland State University campus. This was once the tallest building between New York and Chicago for a brief period of time in the early 1920's. This building also houses the Palace Theatre. Once upon a time I had an office on the eighth floor.

Buffalo Central Terminal

Buffalo Central Terminal was designed by architects Alfred T. Fellheimer and Steward Wagner and opened on Saturday, June 22, 1929. It was used by the New York Central, and later Amtrak until it closed on Sunday, October 28, 1979. We always enjoy seeing the station as we pass Buffalo on the Lake Shore Ltd.

Playhouse Square

We spent a day-and-a-half touring the theatres and reliving old memories last week. Great fun! Many thanks to Tom Einhouse, Ruth Flannery, Tom Rathburn, Cindi Szymanski, and the others who made this a memorable experience.
