Potato Circle Happenings

Today is a dark day in circle history. The land has been desecrated by a gang of roughnecks with an excavator. They wheeled in through the handicapped access ramp and despite the silent objections of the masses, have proceeded to dig a gargantuan hole in the southwest corner. At least one perpetrator was wearing an orange shirt. A reward is being offered for their capture.

A spry couple has made their way to the potato circle with a photographer. One can only assume that this is where they met and fell in love. They’ve returned here on the dawn of their new life together to commemorate that day so long ago.

Are rules not for you? Are you the kind of person that brings 14 items to express checkout lane when it clearly states there is a limit of 10? If so, good news. You are not alone in this world. Currently at the potato circle is a black Mercedes parked directly underneath the No Standing sign. Guess he took it literally.

Bad news for followers of this blog. It's over. We'll be holding a candlelight memorial soon. I will keep you posted.

With no regard to etiquette, white coat lady decides the NO DOGS ALLOWED sign doesn't apply to her cute little pug.

The lady with the pink jacket has returned and is violating the rules again. Then her dog proceeded to relieve himself on the memorial grounds.

Lady with a pink jacket is currently breaking the cardinal rule - NO DOGS ALLOWED. Dog is kinda cute though.

Any potential activity that would occur at the potato circle has been delayed due to rain.

Glen came to the potato circle today. He had his backpack. He took a picture and uploaded it to some social media account. Glen proceeded to take a picture of the ice after leaving. There is currently a seagull perched at the top of the memorial.

There is absolutely nothing to report today. No one has gone within 20 30 feet of the circle. There's a guy changing a windshield nearby but not close enough to qualify.

A man on a mountain bike showed up. Spent some time really thinking about the meaning of life. Smoked a cigarette. Played with his phone. Might have been playing Ingress.

An elderly couple is approaching the memorial with purpose. I strongly feel they are here specifically for this reason. Ending up in that circle was not happenstance.

The exercising bearded guy is back. Pushups on the easternmost rock. Checks text messages. Proceeds to lie down with a folded towel behind his head and do some sort of stretching routine. I think he's scaring people off.

The only place I know of that has a "NO DOGS ALLOWED" sign is ironically the place where I've seen more dogs than anywhere on planet earth. You may have guessed it already but that place is the irish Potato Famine Memorial.

A middle aged man smoking a cigarette appeared to approach the memorial. Update: False positive.

Guy parked his bike nearby. Proceeded to walk around the potato famine circle one time. Took a picture on a mobile phone. Will report back if situation changes.

If you want to know what's happening in the Potato Famine Memorial in downtown Buffalo, you've come to the right place.
