The rumour is that Erie Blvd used to be a branch of the Erie Canal, now paved over. It's certainly wide enough to be true. This view is a block south of State Street, looking south, away from the downtown business district.
Erie Blvd has many businesses on it. I got this photo after eating lunch at State & Erie: Bangkok Bistro. Excellent food and wonderful staff. I had beef Basil curry and my beloved had the Bistro Duck. Both were excellent!
I liked the imagery of the lamp posts marching off toward GE... or is it marching from GE?
