Rather than writing about some historic site, this post is about the day I witnessed Presidential history in real time.
Somehow, it took this Presidential Tourist until last year to visit the most Presidential Historyest of all Presidential History sites.

As Billy Joel once sang, “JFK blown away! What else do I have to say?” Read on to find out!
The Empire State Building? The Statue of Liberty? Whatever. Next time you visit NYC, go eat where George Washington ate.
The year was 1901 and Buffalo was the place to be. That is, of course, assuming you weren’t William McKinley.
