Shuffle Off to Buffalo (Christine Baranski Friday)

Christine Baranksi's birthday was last month. And this blog feature missed it this time. Anyway, she was born in Buffalo, New York on May 2, 1952. And here are some live buffalo. I snapped this photo last night. It's on digital zoom, so it is a little blurry.May is a good month for buffalo. I usually eat buffalo at an annual picnic that takes place in May.

Back to the actual city:
Picking at random a historic view of the great city of western New York State, this hundred-year-old postcard view below is of the Temple of Music. It's Buffalo's version of Washington DC's "Ford's Theatre". It is where President McKinley was shot on September 6, 1901. This interesting building was built for a world's fair, and did not outlast the fair.
The title in this blog post refers to the old song "Shuffle Off to Buffalo", from the musical "42nd Street.

The song. mostly about a honeymoon train ride, includes the lyrics

To Niag'ra in a sleeper
There's no honeymoon that's cheaper
And the train goes slow
Ooh-ooh- ooh
Off, we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo

So yes, Buffalo is one of those cities that has its own song. Gary, Indiana also has its own song from a musical ("Gary, Indiana" from "The Music Man"). Of course Chicago and New York have their famous songs. Dallas has a TV show theme, and Cleveland has its song which became famous as one of the theme songs from "The Drew Carey Show".

Does your city have its own song? Do you wish it did?
