Got some info? What’s the caption? on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Apparently photography runs in the Cascio family as verified here by this sweet photo taken by Joe Cascio's grandfather. Thankfully Joe has access to a ton of similar images taken around the city - it may be a different era, but you should be able to tell where this is. Joe confessed that he is still learning about many of the images, but that shouldn't stop us from showcasing some of them.

This one in particular, taken of the city's beautiful Goldome Building (originally Buffalo Savings Bank and now M&T Bank) is amusing in countless ways. The image calls out for a slew of different fun captions. So far the general response upon viewing this image is, "What the 'heck' is that?" From the looks of it, this must have been in conjunction with the Pan American Expo - is that an Elk on top of that stone mountain gateway? Check out the trolleys!
