From the comments in Mr. Schor’s disciplinary hearing, cross you fingers a powerful earthquake doesn’t hit Niagara Falls Aviary!

I’m amazed the facility can obtain public liability insurance. In the event of a sizeable earthquake, I would suspect the glass ceiling panels supported by thinned structural steel would come crashing down on aviary visitors.

Poor engineering, water break – what’s next for poor Niagara Falls Aviary – West Nile Virus/bird flu mutation?

Let's hope an earthquake doesn't hit Niagara Falls! I suspect poor engineering in many of the building would stand up.<br /> <br /> Read this for more info:<br /> <a href="http://www.peo.on.ca/complaints/Gazette/Schor_MA2005.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.peo.on.ca/complaints/Gazette/Schor_MA2005.pdf</a> This facility has been fraught with problems.

I don't go up there much. But if I do and I think there is something relevant, I'll certainly post about it and/or take pictures.

If you take your time and enjoy the surroundings, you could be there for almost an hour.<br /> <br /> The Tim Hortons is being built by HOCO. Apparently when you call the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill or the Quality Inn Clifton Hill (both owned by HOCO), some of the call centre reps tell you a Tim Hortons is coming. It is going to be in the new building that they are currently building. One would assume it will do huge business, and since it is open 24/7, they'll get a lot of business after Rumours and the other clubs close.<br /> <br /> If you'd like some pictures taken, just email me or post a comment to a relevant posting and I'll do my best.
