July 4th Fireworks 2015: Just outside Magic Kingdom

Now that I'm a neighbor, I can shoot video of the fireworks without holding a spot and fighting a crowd.  The video here is the entire show, sped up to fit the length of Sousa's Liberty Bell March (a nice, patriotic piece of public domain music).

Finally ate at Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen!

It's been around since long before I was born, and I've had their food at catered meetings, but I'd never actually eaten at this famous deli until today.  It was good.

Quick Trip to Buffalo, NY

May 28, 2013
A quick business trip, but a couple of interesting photos.

Downtown Buffalo, but designed by Rapp & Rapp around the same time that they designed The Chicago Theater, The Uptown Theater and The Oriental Theater in Chicago, IL.

Anchor Bar claims to have originated "Buffalo Chicken Wings" and it was worth trying them.

Disneyland 1991 Ticket

And it was only $27.50, on May 22, 1991.

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson ticket

From the souvenir files, my ticket to the March 12, 1992 show. Johnny only did 26 more shows after this one. Johnny's guests: Burt Reynolds, Pete Barbutti, Ahmad Rashad. Ed McMahon, Doc Severinsen and the band were all there too, of course.
