If you spend any time at Buffalo's Canalside, you'll probably spot her right away: Shark Girl…read more She's hard to miss (but minus a star because she's a lot smaller than I expected), a lonely little girl in a blue and white dress just chilling on a rock. Shark Girl lives up to her uncreative namesake at least because she has a giant cartoon shark head where her own should be. This hybrid sculpture is absolutely strange (especially for Buffalo), but also kind of perfect. Shark Girl has become one of those "must-see" photo stops in Buffalo. People line up to sit beside her, throw an arm around her shoulder, or just take a goofy selfie with her toothy grin. Weird, approachable, and funny, there's something about her that doesn't take itself too seriously. What's cool is how she manages to be both silly and a little thought-provoking at the same time. If anything, the sculpture makes you appreciate how art doesn't always need to make sense to be fun. Shark Girl is a quirky little Buffalo mascot, and it's worth a stop to take a quick photo with the bizarro landmark. Parking is difficult with lots where you have to pay so be warned. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but lovers of roadside attractions and goofy art should absolutely swing by to check it out.

It's on South Park Ave. Not an area I frequent often, but I happened to be on my way to Lackawanna from downtown and took South Park. So as I was driving I saw this. The lot next-door is some sort of an urban farm so you can actually see this really clearly. Its actually named "A Mural in Bloom", which makes complete sense. It's by local artist Nina Cherry who's done some other things around town as well.
