Why do Buffalo’s streets slice across each other at unusual angles?

In this week’s Psi-Friday, Mason explores the legacy of Joseph Ellicott — the early surveyor often credited with shaping Buffalo’s radial design (though historians debate exactly who deserves that title). Instead of a simple grid, the city was mapped with spokes radiating outward, cutting diagonally through the landscape.

Some see practical Enlightenment-era planning. Others see something more symbolic.

Freemasons have long emphasized geometry, angles, cardinal directions, and hidden meaning in architecture. Was Buffalo’s layout simply visionary urban design — or a quiet nod to sacred geometry?

Even more curious: certain angled corridors have collected their share of paranormal reports over the years.

Coincidence… pattern… or something embedded in the bones of the Queen City?
