Chippewa Club Zone

What was recently a notorious red light zone in Buffalo's downtown has been transformed into one of the hottest night-time districts in the nation. Stretching west from Main Street on Chippewa all the way to Elmwood Avenue, the area features every type of bar and night club imaginable-from the live jazz of the Calumet Arts Club to the latin rhythms of La Luna. Just around the corner is the Theater District, featuring performing arts spaces such as Shea's, and the Irish Classical Theatre Company.

Silo City

The Silo City is actually a collection of three grain elevators called Peavey Elevator, Genesee Brewing Elevator and the Marine "A" Elevator. These were used during the 20th Century for carrying grains and storing them in the adjoining mammoth size containers or Silos (hence the name). The might of these structures leave onlookers awestruck and they have been preserved immaculately to let the young generation admire this ancient feat of engineering. In addition to the earlier mentioned elevators, the site is also home to the Elevator B; this is a 22 feet (6 meter) tall beehive. This site has been an iconic part of the culture of the city and today it is used as a venue for many local events.
