An annual Christmas column mentioning Old Downtown Buffalo and blind
robins.*

WHAT CHRISTMAS DOES TO ME.*

Some of my friends don't like Christmas music. I love it.
I can understand how certain Christmas songs could seem corny
when analyzed from a critical point of view,
but they have melody, harmony, and words,
which is more than a lot of today's popular music.

Anyway, I love Christmas music for completely different reasons.
This is the most emotional season of the year,
and those songs bring back powerful memories,
both happy and unhappy, packed with emotion.

The ghosts of past Christmases often blur my vision in December.
My mind travels back to Christmas shopping with my parents
on snowy evenings in magical downtown Buffalo.
Gentle flurries fell from the dark sky, steam rose from sidewalk grates,
and complete strangers laughed and spoke friendly greetings to each other.
We stood and marveled at the Christmas displays in the store windows,
our breath frost highlighting our amazement.
One store had a big mechanical Santa that sort of rolled as he laughed.
Ho ho.

My family was a partying bunch...
each holiday an excuse for all the relatives to get together and have a
special time.
Even my grandparents would dress in outrageous costumes on Halloween,
and on July 4th's we would drive the neighbors nuts with fireworks.
New Years Eve meant champagne and "blind robins", and on and on.
I miss those beautiful people, especially during the holidays.
Later in my life I experienced some very rough Christmases,
some even tragic,
and also some wonderful times with Misty and the small family we had left.

Every experience at this time of year is magnified and extreme in my
memory.
Hearing the old songs at Christmas makes me happily sad.
They evoke feelings I don't even understand,
and yet it's my favorite time of the year.
My cool guy facade cracks right down the middle,
and my sentimental guy takes over.

We caught the last hour of "It's a Wonderful Life" on TV the other night.
We both sat there like idiots with lumps in our throats and tears in our
eyes
when George Bailey got his life back.
Christmas makes me weak, I guess...
a good kind of weakness.

The WNY Heritage Magazine people tell me that they are getting few hits on their
online store. They have some new photo notecards, as well as books and reprints
from their photo collection. Check them out (they are non-profit):

Dear Cynthia,

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this fascinating article.

How may I reach Mr. Wachadlo via e-mail?  I would like very much to share
with him the intense research I have completed on J & R Lamb Studios and
Charles Rollinson Lamb and Frederick Stymetz Lamb.  A great deal of the
historical facts I have compiled on the Lamb family are not currently
available via regular sources, as they have either come from the family
historian, Kevin Tait, or from my own digging, and my book has not yet been
printed.  (Hopefully, it will be done in January!)

If you would rather give my e-mail address to Mr. Wachadlo and allow him to
make contact with me, I certainly understand, and that is fine.

Thank you so very much!

Sincerely,

Randal J. Loy
Historian to the Dean of
Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral
Kansas City, Missouri  64105
Direct Line:  (816) 452-5055

In today's Buffalo News is some long overdue recognition of architectural
historian Martin Wachadlo:

http://www.buffalonews.com/185/story/883156.html

Here is a list of his works:

Plus there is an online version of the Esenwein & Johnson exhibit he curated for
BECHS:

Found while looking up other stuff, a social networking site for genealogists. 
And there's already a group for Buffalo/WNY.

Jack,

Can you confirm the trucks were tan on top and brown on the
bottom?  Or were they all brown?

Thank you.

At one point, some of them were occupied by Downtown Merchants
delivery service.

You brought back a memory.
When I was about 16 I worked for Downtown Merchants Delivery during one
Christmas season.
I had to show up every morning at the Pierce Arrow building.
I was the kid who jumped on and off the truck to deliver packages.

As an aid to gathering historical information on Lawrence Bell and Bell Aircraft
in Western NY (and elsewhere), we started a group on Yahoo

It's called "Larry Bell and Bell Aircraft"

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=184570831587

If you are a FaceBook sort of person, you're welcome to join. We were VERY
surprised to find that there are now 45 members and that some awfully
interesting documents and photos are showing up.

This research is ongoing, and we've received two off-list responses to our
request for folks who worked at Bell, knew people who worked at Bell or who had
some first of second person contact with Larry Bell. We'd be grateful for other
such contacts.

You can write to SumStuf@...  or post on the FaceBook group if you are a
member. Please DO NOT post replies to this Yahoo BuffaloHistory group. They
would be off-topic and we'd be embarrassed.

Thanks for your help!

On satellite photos of the complex you can still see the evidence of a spur of
the Belt Line which crossed the property from the NE corner to service the Pan
Am Expo.  AM&A's also had warehouses here after the company folded and the
property was subdivided.

I know in later years the Wm. Hengerer company used the warehouse space
along Great Arrow.  The photo here
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/swampcrone/2286057209/in/pool-buffalotype) I
took in 1998.  I rememeber going to the warehouse sales there that were
complete madness- but the deals were unbelievable and by the time my
grandmother's employee discount was applied they were practially giving her
the items she bought.

I always thought it was part of the Pierce Arrow complex.  Right now it has been
subdivided as a multipurpose use building; in fact, I use the co-op pottery
studio that rents space there.

I always thought it was part of the Pierce Arrow complex.  Right now it has been
subdivided as a multipurpose use building; in fact, I use the co-op pottery
studio that rents space there.

Another reason to stop by the Historical Society for tomorrow's big author
event.  After being out of print for over a decade, "America's Crossroads" is
being reissued by the authors, who will be present to sign copies.

This is the book that reacquainted Buffalo with the shocking history of our
canal district.  Used copies are so rare that they fetch a few hundred dollars. 
This is the book:

And this is the event:

"Are all librarians this much trouble?"  --Stephen Sommers
(Line spoken by Brendan Fraser as Rick O'Connell in "The Mummy Returns," 2001)

Concerning my post yesterday about our official day in Buffalo.

Our memory of the occasion is vague.
We do have a certificate from the mayor proclaiming it,
but I'm sure there was no huge crowd,
and I've never heard of Leisure Park.

We were just coming off 3 or 4 hit records,
and were passing through Buffalo, stopping to visit relatives.
Probably the promotion department got the idea to make it an event,
and contacted the mayor and some newspapers.
The writer of the article below apparently used some poetic license.

I think since that option was set, Yahoo has a built-in scanner to scan
