...it would be great if the City of Buffalo, Herself could be 'saved'...

...and gone w/these marvels of industry...are the millions of good-paying jobs...direct and ancillary...to this event of the Industrial Revolution...such could and yet may still...return...to a degree...following perhaps, a more responsible fashion...business/production trends shall flow 'round & 'round this globe...hoping, of course, we as a SINGULAR species...take a more friendly approach to the other...it's all really...a generational thing...based upon "values"...

...this is a burn-off element...some-times they'd burn w/a green-blue flame...others these burnt w/a brilliant yellow...depending upon how much the blast-furnaces were consuming...night-time was always a spectacle when these ovens were at peak...especially under cloudy and/or foggy conditions...

...I have always had this fascination of taking a chimney of such height and robustness...reinforcing 'er w/I-beams thru' the wall and welded to exterior steel-bands encircling the chimney at various points up the structure...to distribute load properly...then construct floors throughout w/varying ceiling heights...balconies...outrageous circular staircases...inside and out...(w/appropriate wrought-iron cage-work) and, using the top as a chest-level circular wall...topping her w/a 'roof'-Jacuzzi, Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope...and of course...a well stocked bar...plus, escape parachutes...though the place should be well above the maximum code-level for fire protection...I may need the engine-powered one to escape my creditors for such the outlandish yet, absolutely cool abode...
