Roadtrip (14)! - University of Buffalo - Spring 2010

University of Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning posted their spring 2010 lecture series. 3 hours from Cleveland makes it an easy drive to see a city that is so remarkably similar to Cleveland (albeit their downtown seems a little more lively) and catching a decent lecture just adds a bonus.
