Luminous Shots of Grain Elevators Like You've Never Seen Them Before
A Buffalo light show aims to turn the city's symbols of decline into a flashy tourist draw.
Buffalo is ready to put its long-neglected grain elevators back to use, this time in service of tourism.
The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation just rolled out a four-stage plan to illuminate the grain elevators along the city's waterfront. It's an attempt to attract more visitors and, perhaps more importantly, to put to rest the negative association grain elevators have with Buffalo's economic decline.
