    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    And Scajacuada Creek starts just above our OP building. From your link: There's a plaque dedicating this shipyard essentially right across the street from the OP building. The (awful) photo allegedly from 1896 (get better cameras, guys!) in the article shows the area (the OP building would have...

    Darn it, you guys, I wasn't gonna post this here in this thread, but it's relevant to your comments. Basically, I'm inclined to agree with Jinxy's premise about the area being an operating power station... I'm not willing to concede (yet) that it was all functional or anything. Maybe all was...

    18th Century: Atmospheric Phenomena or Unknown Weapons?

    I personally like the very next section after the part KD snipped out: Oh, back when you could essentially dismiss highly anomalous events as 'mere" acts of God. For better or worse, that's not how the propaganda machines work anymore. Different lies for different paradigms. Nowadays, it's...

    Saint Petersburg Kazan Cathedral was not built when they say it was...

    I like to look into the masterminds behind these publications. This one is alleged to have come from the Edinburgh Review: The founders? Francis Jeffrey, Lord Jeffrey (23 October 1773 – 26 January 1850) was a Scottish judge and literary critic. Henry Peter Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and...

    The Matrix: Sphere with a Flat Surface

    Or it resurfaced because there's no measurable curvature and modern optical equipment has completely debunked the notion of a visible geometric horizon. "Flat earth" may be a "psy-op" in a keyword hijacking sense (along with the perceived and legitimate oversimplification the term implies) but...

    1863 Russian involvement in the US Civil War

    Thanks, I hate it! Just the picture, to be clear. It makes me deeply uncomfortable.

    (Had to add another post, because I had too many attachments, though this will probably automerge. EDIT: lol, Right Arm, you scoundrel! Beat me by mere seconds!) So, I also thought the knolls that the houses across the street were constructed on were pretty interesting and seem to fit the theme...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    Great question. It always amazes me to see the state of these buildings 100 years ago... looks no different than many today. Makes one wonder, when exactly were these things new? So, I think I've gone and muddied this thread up (see, I can't stop puns, no point in even trying), so let me try...

    The Grand Canyon is under 450 years old...?

    Add me to this list. Every attempt into dendrochronology I've taken, I've walked away very unimpressed. It's a bit more elaborate than just counting the rings too, which as KD notes, could be problematic if the rate of ring growth not consistent throughout time. This is a pretty telling...

    Question | The Moon split in two. What are we seeing?

    Sure, I can buy that. I posted the video mostly for visualizing the concept of celestial light sources being behind a medium... like with most concepts around the YouTube "flat earth community," I recommend heavy grains of salt when viewing. (Though, I also recommend the entire contents of a...

    Abandoned 1860s India by UAP

    I've been getting increasingly frustrated with the thought that we somehow live during the peak of civilization. The notion is so laughable, it's ridiculous. Even over the last 80 to 100 years, the decline has been dramatic. And you don't need to go to India to realize this... It's literally all...

    Still at a bit of an impasse, I want to get down to City Hall for construction records, but my wife's work schedule, combined with a family visit has not aligned. The maps are interesting as well, but a bit overwhelming. It seems doubtful at this point that they will reveal anything meaningful...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    Just wanted to pop in, been busy with family and other obligations. The construction is still ongoing, and I did attempt to find someone to talk to last week, but it appears I really need to try and hit them up on their lunchbreak. In any event, I have a lot more to say about this but likely...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    No, those are good suggestions, but I don't want to lie... I think just genuine curiosity (perhaps combined with saying I'm doing some blog research on the area) should suffice. The larger complication this week is my children, I don't really want to drag them down there and that would stop any...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    I understand your feelings, and there's a lot of context here that's relevant. But, if we stray too far from the specific topic, we will quickly be submerged in more detail than one can reasonably correlate. Basically, we need to identify the size and shape of the puzzle pieces before we can...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    Right, essentially right on the river. Which is key for two reasons: obvious being building subterranean levels next to the water and also that this whole stretch is literally where the British burned "forts" and the "city of Buffalo" to the ground. Yes, and it is good for context, but there's...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    Heh, sure. I will try and take the picture tomorrow, it appears the crate contained a cement, hollow column which I think is an elevator shaft. It looks like this, from what I could tell from a little distance: Source Right, that's why I suggested some sort of "kit" situation. So you have an...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    You have the correct block identified. Good point about the door, too. It looks like a modified window space. That door is facing Niagara St and it isn't blocked off by construction currently, so I can very easily get a closer shot, as it appears the same as in the early 20th century Bergman...

    Old Bergman Tools Building, Buffalo, NY

    I sent this as a private message to KD, but he thought it could warrant a post. This is very much a "work in progress" (sorry, my brain thinks in puns, it's a curse), but if anyone would like to contribute, I can provide some boots on the ground. This building is located very close to my house...

    Is General Robert E. Lee dead in this 1865 photo?

    Thanks for bumping this article. I missed it on the second go-round, but it really was a light bulb moment when I first saw it. I favor the wax figurine explanation, but wouldn't be surprised if a few corpses stuck in there (beyond the admitted ones, literally ghoulish, by the way). There's just...
