Both Sides Now

    Canada and New York State face off through the mists of Niagara Falls. Each side thinks it’s the better pick for views, fun things to do, casinos, parks, hotels and food. Here’s a report card to help you decide who’s right.

    The Washington Post has a great article on Niagara Falls. There is an introduction to the general area (both American and Canadian), and then it links to another article comparing the two sides (casinos, views, attractions, accomodations, etc).

    Will the real Niagara Falls please stand up?

    Are you Canada’s family destination, its Disney and its Vegas tumbled into one? Or are you the lounge club and calzone capital of Upstate New York?

    Niagara, you used to have newlyweds in Ramblers with tin cans jangling behind. You had New Yorkers arriving by the trainload. You were the Newport, the Cape May of the North.

    Now we’re not so sure. Are you a wonder of the world? Are you a spray starch? To the real Maid o’ the Mist, the million-gallon Niagara: Please stand up.
