MEAD (AP) - Four dozen rolls of special Nebraska buffalo grass sod will be greening up the ground around the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., later this month. Some 18,000 square feet of sod ...

The sod is scheduled to be installed at the memorial Oct. 16. The order calls for 18,000 square feet of buffalo grass sod, weighing a total of about 36 tons, company spokesman Nick Radford said.

I was born in 1925 on a farm about halfway between Scranton and New England. Born in a house Dad had constructed from buffalo grass sod.

A foot of new soil and grass is poised to be laid on three harbor-area lots below the Skyway underpass, thanks to a donation from the Buffalo Sabres designed to improve the area's curb appeal.

The pale green buffalo grass that was planted along Second Street in 2009 as a way to beautify the highway with a low-maintenance plant species will be removed.
