BuffaloResearch.com @buffaloresearch.com · 29/08/2026For the unfamiliar, the Welland Canal runs parallel to the Niagara River and was built because Niagara Falls blocks ships from sailing from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. By bypassing the Falls, ocean-going vessels can enter the Great Lakes via the St. Lawrence Seaway. 143
BuffaloResearch.com @buffaloresearch.com · 29/08/2026Because I am a humorless pedant, I am obliged to note that this meme depicts Niagara Falls, which is about 15 miles south of Lake Ontario on the Niagara River. Which actually is a strait! The Strait of Our Moose is the Welland Canal, entirely in Canada. Which they could close to US trade. 🗃️ 291
BuffaloResearch.com @buffaloresearch.com · 23/08/2026The four laziest library stories. Might as well have a chatbot spit them out at this point. 1. I loved my childhood library 2. More than just books 3. Not your stereotypical librarian 4. Book returned X years late 📚 1142

BuffaloResearch.com @buffaloresearch.com · 03/07/2026Ubiquitous photography, everyone and everything being photographed all the time, is a relatively modern phenomenon, little more than a generation old.

BuffaloResearch.com @buffaloresearch.com · 28/05/2026Here's the current Buffalo code on numbering. Every 20 feet gets a new number, which is irrational compared to the 1891 unit of 10 feet, when a zero added to a house number told you how far it was from the beginning of the street. A good wayfinding device. #Buffalo ecode360.com/13581679 010

BuffaloResearch.com @buffaloresearch.com · 27/05/2026My cranky request for Buffalo restaurants & cafes: check all of your tables once a week. Fix the wobbly ones. Putting out a jar of shims like this is thoughtful, but your customers shouldn't have to DIY to keep from spilling drinks on a bouncy table. 040
