2021 Buffalo Mayoral Democratic Primary

Today, I took a look at the Buffalo Mayoral Democratic Primary. I was surprised how concentrated Democratic Socialist India Walton base of support was in city -- she only won AD 149 Jonathan Rivera and SD 60, the rest of city went for Bryon Brown. It looks like she did a very good job at getting her supporters out.

India Walton preformed most strongly in the Niagara district (71%), Delaware District (64%) with a tie to Ellicott District (50%) but lost the remaining city - South 36%, Manston 40%, Filmore 40%, Lovejoy 44%, University 46%, North 46%.

India Walton won AD 149 Rivera 67%, and lost the other Assembly Districts AD 140 Conrad 44%, AD 141 People Stokes 46%, AD 142 Burke 37%. She won SD 60 Ryan 60% and lost SD 63 Kennedy 46%.

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.
