Buffalo Skyway – Niagara Thruway Ramps
A neat set of circle ramps, with the remnants of the urban street layout below before the Buffalo Skyway and the Niagara Thruway. An urban wasteland but also an engineering marvel, but probably not super friendly to motorists as they slow down to navigate the curve on that very tight ramp with privatized paid parking below.
When 18-flights of stairs becomes automatic 🧗♂️
After doing the stairs for seven days at work, hiking up and down the 18 flights of the stairs has become nearly automatic, hardly work to do twice a day up and down. I don’t even think of going to the elevator anymore, and I find if I have my phone out or have something to distract me, I can do the stairs with barely even noticing I’m climbing.
Each time up the stairs it works out to be 50 calories burned over roughly 4 minutes, a brief but moderately intense cardiovascular activity for good health. No waiting for elevators and while I miss the banter with colleagues in the lobby, I don’t miss the crowds or wondering when and elevator will arrive and whether or not I will get trapped in the elevator.
