The Buffalo Psy Center is where top specialists study the song "Gangnam Style" and its cultural implications and the reasons behind its success.
This place is not that.
I've been to these grounds so many times because it's one of my fave spots in Buffalo. From the street, or from inside the complex, it's just haunting and amazing. I love coming here after being downtown or on Elmwood or Hertel in the middle of the night. It's amazing the way they light it up, too.
I haven't been in the mental patient wards, though. I don't know if I'd want to. I imagine people screaming and lots of drugs and electric shock therapy (OK I know that doesn't happen, but leave me and my imagination to our delusions, ok?), so why on earth would I give such a horrific place a 5?
It's the most beautiful building in Buffalo. It's even more amazing than the Grand Central Terminal, or City Hall, or the Walmart Supercenter on Transit Road. Well, maybe not that last one, but it's definitely at least in the same league as Walmart.
It's stunning, and creepy, and spectacular, especially at night when it is all lit up. I drove on to the grounds the other night at 3am or 5am or 1am or something, and there were police cars all over the place. I thought I was going to be pulled over and then escorted into the building. I've been wondering how long it would take for Buffalo to realize I was clinically insane. But no, not yet. I got away with it.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MWAHAHAHAHAHA
MWAHAHAHA
MWAH
HAH
HEE
HO HO HO
So anyway. I would recommend this as a stop (at night) to every single person visiting Buffalo. It is that scary. It is that striking. It is that creepy.
Just don't drive through here blasting Gangnam Style. Otherwise you'll end up on the inside looking out.
And you don't want them to go all lobotomy on your ass, do you.
Although technically those aren't done on your posterior.
Although if they were, it would probably by now be a niche of adult movies.
Come to think of it, it probably is.
