Now, here is an accurate layout of the city itself. I figure a real map might give us alot of opportunity to visit places we hadn't ever considered before. It's very large, so I'm attaching the original URL as well as an image, so that you can take a closer look at the map if you so choose.

As you can tell, there's alot of stuff to do in buffalo, and it's much larger than initially implied. Cemeteries, a harbor, historical districts... there's even a large radio tower near the souther stretch of the city. These will all provide us with more immersing RP experiences. In addition to new, accurate locations we will of course keep our own original additions. I simply thought a bit more background into the city itself would give all of our players a better grasp on exactly what we're getting into.
Here is a series of photographs of the city itself, to provide an image of our RP's setting.
And finally, here's a compilation of shots from Google Earth using the 3D mapping of the city, as well as some plain aerial shots.
Below is Delaware Park, the largest park in the city. There is a Cemetery adjacent to it. *evil glee*
I strongly suggest that everyone download Google Earth. It's free, and an incredibly convenient way to find any information you might need regarding our RP environments. It also provides a full 360 degree street level viewing option, so you can "walk" through the city yourself. It's incredibly handy, so look it up the first chance you get. You won't be dissapointed, and it will do wonders for our RP work.
