These nice looking bollards must have been recently painted because they were plain concrete before. These belong to the Polish Cadets Hall on Grant St. They separate the sidewalk from the parking area.

No Bollards Just a Boat today.
This is a former Coast Guard Tug. The Apalachee was launched in 1943 as a port security vessel for the Port of Baltimore. It served in various ports through the years. It was destined to be put out of service and become part of a marine museum in Erie PA until financing fell through. This is docked at the Erie Basin in Buffalo, probably doing some ice ice breaking. It is a large tug at 110 ft.

Spring training is starting so here is baseball related post. This is a very nice statue of former Mayor of Buffalo James Griffin. He was responsible for getting the ball park built downtown. This statue was erected last summer at the corner of Washington and Swan outside of Coca Cola Field. It's a nice replica of him throwing out the first pitch at a ballgame.
