Overhead 'button-copy' signage for the I-190 interchange. When this sign was taken, I-190 was still tolled both directions into Downtown Buffalo. Considering the economic troubles that have befallen Buffalo for the past fifty (or so) years, its amazing to think road tolls like this could have existed for as long as they did. |
