Evening on the West Side is the best hour Buffalo gives away, when the sun drops toward the Niagara and Niagara Street glows for twenty minutes straight. Alfaro Lawn Services is often still finishing then, the last lawn of the day mowed, trimmed and blown clean off the concrete. The blocks around Grant Street are close-set and the yards are small, which means the edges matter more here than anywhere: one straight line along a walk reads like a signature. Cleanups in spring and fall clear away what the winter and the big maples leave behind. Small yards, tended with attention, add up to a better-looking street.
