A little late today…
A clock stands on a pole reminding us of the time. It’s not the only 4-sided clock in downtown.
A little ways away, this floutist plays as if time stands still. Where am I?

Walkabout photo 8
Have you enjoyed these photos? I know I have. I haven’t got out for a couple of days, but I have a backlog to keep this going. I don’t know if I can keep doing them daily, but certainly, occasional photos are a real possibility.
This bench is in a prominent location in Downtown Lockport. For me, it’s a handy spot to stop and rest when I walk from home to the Post Office (new, not old!) to pick up my mail. Oh, I don’t tire out that easily, but my back is usually sore by then and a couple minutes sitting gets it back in shape.
I don’t know the story behind the bench. The inscription mentions two friends. Perhaps they hung out here, a few steps away from what used to be the entrance to an “underground” place.
It’s also in front of what was once the first location of a bank that now has 113 branches. It’s changed it’s name several times, but I used to have a savings account there when I was a kid.
So where is this bench and what is the building it is next to?

Is this a church? Or a Castle? To those in the know about Lockport architecture, it’s one-of-a-kind, with a rich story, both successful and tragic.
Second photo: This marker is found nearby. If you know what it is, it will be a clue to the building’s history.

Walkabout 6
This placard explains the purpose of this garden not far from a place of learning.
Only a couple blocks from Lockport High School, students pass by daily in busses, but seldom stop. This beautiful garden has a gazebo, benches, walkways and trellises from which to enjoy the garden which is full of beautiful flowers.
Automobile traffic passes by non-stop, yet very few people get out of their cars to enjoy this gem, located prominently on a major street. Where am I?
