I have such a list which is too long to send to this group. I am glad to do
an occasional lookup for those with questions like this. There is a copy of
the list at the reference desk in Special Collections at the Central
Library. I'm sure that they will answer phone queries.

Mapquest fails again! It is one block long, from Grant to Rees st, just
south of the Buffalo State Campus, and about 100 yards south of the Grant
St interchange on Rt 198 (Scajaquada Expwy).
