All things Niagara Falls tourism…
From the St. Catharines Standard (unfortunately the article isn’t online):
The Niagara Parks Commission was in the black again in 2005, posting its second profit since the “perfect storm” year of 2003, but general manager John Kernahan cautions the recovery will continue to be slow.
“We’ll exceed $3 million this year. We’ve had a profitable year,” Kernahan said.
He wouldn’t be more specific about the 2005 financial picture because figures for the fiscal year haven’t been audited yet.
In my posting about the Great Wolf Lodge open house called Jimmy the hotelier: Believe it or not!, a couple of comments were left about how the US wants all people travelling to the US to have a passport. I responded that I didn’t think it would happen. In yesterday’s paper, there was an article in the paper about how the US is backing off this.
From The StarPhoenix:
The United States government is tempering its heavily criticized plans to require passport checks of Canadians entering the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working with Canada to develop a new, alternative cross-border identification card that would satisfy security requirements, but would be cheaper and easier to obtain than a passport, a U.S. official said Thursday.
“An alternative card would be lower in cost and would be easier to carry - it would be wallet sized - for people who don’t want to pay the fee for a passport. That’s something we’re examining now,” said Homeland Security spokesman Jarrod Agen.
“We’re working on this with the Canadian government. We would administer a card for our citizens, and the Canadian government would work with us to see what they could do (for Canadians).”
From Niagara This Week:
It’s a place that can definitely satisfy the palate for people with unique taste.
Café Tu Tu Tango can be best described as the best of both worlds, where the culinary arts are complemented by visual arts or vice versa. An unusual and unconventional pairing, the quaint restaurant, situated above the Wolfgang Puck Grand Café at 6300 Fallsview Blvd. in Niagara Falls, is a unique venture where patrons can enjoy a hardy meal while delighting themselves with a visual arts experience.
