Personal memory by Marc Hoffman
1990 • Orchard Park, NY
Growing up on the boarder of West Seneca and Orchard Park NY, just 20 years ago, the forests were thick along Route 20 close to the "five corners". Now, strip malls and department stores have taken over. Being an ancient area for the Seneca Indians, so much history and beauty of the forest is lost forever, for Home Depot and Tanning Bed :(
