Richardson – Olmstead ’08!

Buffalo State Hospital Snow GlobeVote now! No, not for the next president, but for the subject of the next Buffalo-building-themed snow globe! According to Buffalo Rising, last year Avalon Scarves and The Floristry (both of Buffalo, New York) created a snow globe featuring Buffalo’s City Hall. Now they’re asking the public to choose which iconic Buffalo structure should be featured in this year’s globe. They’ve posted an online poll where you can vote, and the Richardson Complex is one of the options! Vote here.

    Awesome! I submitted my vote. Can these be ordered online if the Kirk wins?

    I don’t know, but I get the feeling they won’t be. I didn’t see any mention of online sales anywhere, and last year’s globe was a limited edition of 300. I bet they don’t even expect there to be any interest outside of Buffalo.
