Silo City

For a long time, Buffalo served as a major distribution hub on the Great Lakes, especially for grain brought in from the Midwest.  The waterfront was marked by numerous grain elevators, many of which fell out of use by the 1980s.  After many years of abandonment, a number of these old grain depots clustered around the Buffalo River have recently served as the setting for a variety of arts events, and the venue has become known as Silo City. These pictures were taken there in the summer of 2014 during what has become an annual "City of Night" festival.
