I was wondering if I could have permission to use 2 of your photos for a poster that I am using to demonstrate my research? The photos will not be used for any publication. I would really appreciate it. The photos are beautiful and really capture the essence of parts of the East Side. <em>ed. sure! they are not the best quality as far as resolution. I would love to see a copy of your research and/or your presentation. You are welcome to share the photos as much as you like, please just give me a photo credit for them. I am certain you will not be able to make any money off of them. They tell a very sad story. </em> Hi, I am a student at UB and I’ve been conducting research on the East Side.

The City was seldom picturesque, to be sure, but there used to be signs of normal life everywhere. Last summer, I subjected myself to a gut-wrenching motorcycle tour of what remains of the East Side. I am not exaggerating when I say I was brought to tears at the devastation. While riding around, I saw several other vistors of indeterminate age who were wandering around old neighborhoods, mouths agape. If I made a habit of traveling in the East Side, I would carry a gun and adopt a "no cop, no stop" rule for intersections. I see no solution but to bulldoze entire neighborhoods, plant trees, and block off the streets. Sadly, I see the same pattern in Cleveland, Youngstown, Akron, Canton, Detroit and other Rust Belt towns. There is no reason to stay there. In a few hundred years, visitors will look at ruined cathedrals sitting in the middle of empty fields and wonder just what the hell happened to these towns.
