My new online addiction while working is scrolling through Google Maps. Specifically, going through downtown Buffalo and places I visit frequently throughout Western New York.

Well I stumbled upon this and here's something you can try right now!  As you scroll through parts of downtown in the last few years, you can literally see the transformation of Buffalo.  The before, the during and completed projects!  Check it out. Remember this place?

Scroll just a tad more up Delaware and poof! The next picture appears showing the CONSTRUCTION of what is now the Delaware North Headquarters at 250 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo.
