She; no, she didn't know. Nor did another taxi driver know why there were a pair of ...bronze?... buffalos at the ends of this one bridge. I can see why a normal person (!) wouldn't know the answer to my question in the post above, but I'd have thought ... Well, never mind. I think most taxicab drivers--and indeed, most people in most jobs--are non-natives, and besides, even though these old "buffles", as my daughter dubbed them when she was two, are life-size, they are outranked in the interest ratings by many other monuments in this town. But still, I feel sure they must have some historical significance, and I would like to know what it is.
