Missing Buffalo - Summertime

July 31, 2006 by MoPat.

In Phoenix, the temperature has risen to 118 degrees already this summer with lows in the mid-90s (plus humidity), and we have a serial rapist/murderer on the loose, plus a nutcase who shoots people riding bikes or taking walks at night, and everyone I know feels indoor-bound.

What I would give to be able to stroll around Delaware Park, maybe catch a Shakespeare play one summer evening, sit out on the porch or in the driveway and say hi to the neighbors, go to the Albright Knox and take in the paintings and sculptures and weird new video art, watch the sailboats at the Marina, take the trolley through Forest Lawn, and top every night off with an Anderson’s frozen custard hot fudge sundae or black raspberry cone or lemon ice.
