Niagara Falls is the focus of a recently opened art exhibit hosted by a downstate gallery.
Installation artist Zoe Leonard will put his thousands of vintage Niagara Falls postcards on display in an exhibit entitled “You See I Am Here After All.” A post on mediabistro.com reports that the show will have the postcards arranged by date to show the progression of the area and technology from the turn of the 20th century to the 1950s, as well as offering numerous vantage points of the cataract.
“If taken singly, each card may attest to a unique encounter with a particular location at a specific historical moment,” she said in a release from the museum. “En masse, they reflect decades of changing technologies during which the motif of the Falls, shot from a few standard vantage points, was revisioned: hand-colored, over-painted, cropped or otherwise manipulated in accordance with changing notions of truth and taste.”
The exhibit will be on display through September 2009.

A Washington, D.C.-based blogger with the AFL-CIO lauded the workers of the local General Motors plant for their efforts to combat cancer.
Mike Hall recently gave a shout out to the UAW members at the GM plant in the Town of Tonawanda, who combined the 70th anniversary of the plant with the automaker’s centenarian celebration and a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The local union raised several thousand dollars for the charity, he said.

Ron Ganim of the Evanston Review in suburban Chicago recently wrote about a week-long bicycle trip he took along the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany.
An upstate New York native, Ganim had mixed reviews of the bike trail but enjoyed his trip through the Lock City.
“New York does not mark its trails well; you only know where you are when you're on them, so I found myself getting lost. Nonetheless, I'd have time to notice the sights,” he wrote. “Lockport, with its working locks, is a sight to see. The canal shouldn't be there; in some places, corn fields stretch away to the horizon on both sides.”
