Phipps by night

We attended a disappointing event at Phipps called Garden Groove, which had too many drink tickets and not enough food. Several old ladies were heard to exclaim that they were unable to use all of their drink tickets on an empty stomach and still be expected to arrive safely home. Not sure if that meant that they were going to get wild and run amok in Oakland before getting picked up by the police, or if they were simply going to find a warm spot, like the desert room, and curl up for a drunken slumber.

Either way, I did manage to get a handful of reasonably nice pictures before the event ended and the elderly set got out of control.

The New York Central Terminal in Buffalo, New York, USA, was a key railroad station from 1929 to 1979. The 17-story Art Deco style station was designed by architects Fellheimer & Wagner for the New York Central Railroad. After years of abandonment, it is in derelict condition, but is now owned by the non-profit preservation group, Central Terminal Restoration Corporation. The Central Terminal is located in what is called the Broadway-Fillmore or Polonia District of Buffalo.
The Complex

The terminal is located about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from downtown Buffalo, and consists of several structures, some of which are or were interconnected. The complex was designed for 3200 passengers per hour.

[edit] Main Concourse

The main concourse is 225 feet (69 m) long, 66 feet (21 m) wide, and 58.5 feet (17.8 m) tall (63.5 feet [19.4 m] at the domed ends). The concourse included various rental spaces; a restaurant with a dining room, lunch room, and coffee shop; a Western Union telegraph office; and a soda fountain, along with standard station necessities. Curtiss Street ran directly below the concourse, but has been closed since the terminal closed. The concourse is currently owned by the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation.
