The East Side's Secret Garden

This past times weekend, nosotros took the kids to the Buffalo Museum of Science. And nosotros all loved it. We loved it then much, inwards fact, that on the agency out nosotros added a flake of coin to our entrance fees together with purchased a household unit of measurement membership. But I won't verbalise likewise much nearly the museum. You tin visit the website together with larn everything yous take away to know. But I practice desire to verbalise nearly someplace else. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 magical place.

For those of yous who don't know, the Science Museum is located inwards Buffalo's gritty East side. One doesn't hold off to honour a house of pure magic on the East side. But nosotros did. On accident.

Located correct behind the Science Museum is Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. The park, formerly called the Parade, harkens dorsum to 1871 together with the wonderful hear of Frederick Law Olmsted (the landscape architect who designed Central Park inwards NYC, with many other vivid spaces). Originally connected to the gorgeous Delaware Park, MLK Jr. Park instantly stands alone, a poignant metaphor for the socio-economic reality of the area. But in that location is however beauty.

The optic is commence attracted to the five-acre reflective pool, exactly that's non the existent treasure. Adjacent to the puddle is a modestly sized round down expanse enclosed past times a wrought atomic disclose 26 fence. Inside the fence, a path makes its agency roughly together with through the space, canopied past times beautiful old trees, together with edged past times smaller novel ones. The twenty-four hours nosotros visited, the air was thick with the sweetness smell of flowering trees, together with their blossoms cruel similar a soft snow.

It was breathtakingly beautiful, enchanting, almost surreal. It was pure magic.
