I will be attending a wedding this coming Saturday at the Konica Minolta Tower. Years ago it was pretty much the only way to view the Falls. When you looked at the Canadian side of the border, it was the largest building. Now, it is dwarfed by hotels and other tall buildings.
As far as I know, there are no public observation decks in the tower. Of the top 6 floors, the bottom one is the wedding area (run by Niagara Fallsview Weddings), then above that is the Pinnacle Restaurant, and then above that is the Ramada Plaza Fallsview hotel. Apparently there are about 40 rooms
I was able to go up the tower on this past Saturday and it provides an incredible view of both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. I’ll try to take a few pictures this Saturday.
A couple of weeks ago I posted about the new Travelodge Hotel by the Falls on Ferry Street and that at the time, there was still a Travelodge Near the Falls across the street. Visitor Smoke called the hotel and found out that it was going to change it’s name to Lodge Near the Falls. The sign is now up:
I also noticed that there is a very large billboard on top of their restaurant:
And I also took a picture of High Times. They’ve put up a few more signs and are now open for business:
The Tim Hortons on Clifton Hill seems to be coming along well. The other parts of the building seem to be making slower progress, but I’m sure they are trying to get the Tim Hortons open for this weekend (Victoria Day weekend) or next (Memorial Day weekend). The plaza area has some beautiful interlocking bricks down now:
They are still working on the Niagara SkyWheel, but seem to be making slow progress. Since the wheel was completed about 3 weeks ago, it doesn’t look like much has been done. As I was by yesterday, I took a couple of pictures of the entrance canopy that is being erected:
