Buffalo, New York - September 2007

Niagara River
The Niagara River flows to the north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It serves as part of the border between the Province of Ontario and New York State. According to NASA, "Niagara" comes from a Native American word meaning "at the neck". According to George R. Stewart, it comes from the name of an Iroquois town called "Ongniaahra" meaning "point of land cut in two". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_River
Albright-Knox Art Gallery
The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, founded in 1862, is the governing body of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. It is among the oldest public arts organizations in the United States. Intended to serve first as the Fine Arts Pavilion of the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, it was completed too late for that purpose in 1905. The new addition was dedicated in 1962, and the museum was renamed the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. http://www.albrightknox.org/GenInfo/history.html
