With this month’s version of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge being almost over, I have to say that everything about it has been a big surprise for me. I rarely plan an entire month’s posts in advance, although I usually have an idea of the theme. This month, I changed things up. I decided that, because I knew it was going to be an unusually busy month, I would skip the A to Z challenge, which I normally do in April. I might do it again next year but that’s a long time off and, for sure, I almost never plan that far in advance. I am not by nature a planner and that far in the future is just a blank slate that is best kept that way.
I had to focus on this month’s activities and projects, including the Ultimate Blogging Challenge, a weekly art class in downtown Buffalo, a lot of work for the newspaper, and more. So much more. I wasn’t planning on posting so much about Buffalo, but that’s what happened and I’m actually happy that it did.
Today’s post is all about the Market Arcade, which is a beautiful example of neoclassical commercial architecture. It was designed as an indoor market. It is stunning, but, when I visited it this morning, none of the businesses were open so I focused on the lovely details of this building.
As you approach, you see this:
I hope that you’ve enjoyed your tour of the Market Arcade. I’ve had such a good time sharing the sights of Buffalo with you. There is so much more, and I will share some of that in the July Ultimate Blogging Challenge, including the Buffalo Garden Walk and the murals along Hertel Avenue in north Buffalo!
