The production had a small table setup at the Niagara Tourism Expo and they had a flyer I had never seen before. I have scanned it and included the text below: Experience……

        Clifton Hill Tim Hortons sign is up

        The new Tim Hortons on Clifton Hill should be open in the next couple of weeks (I don’t know an exact date, but I assume they want it open around either the Victoria Day weekend or the Memorial Day weekend). I haven’t been by the site in a few days, but I noticed that the…

          Cirque Niagara rides into town

          From the Niagara Falls Review: Whether he’s Jean Valjean in Les Miserables or Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha or even the guy singing the anthem before Maple Leafs games Michael Burgess knows how to get hearts soaring.

            Niagara SkyWheel plaza

            I’m not exactly sure what the plans are for what used to be the Quality Inn Clifton Hill driveway, but they’ve dug it up and poured all sorts of cement. It’s hard to tell, but an earlier picture seems to have a fountain and lots of lights.

              The Golden Griddle returns

              There used to be a Golden Griddle at the front of the Quality Inn Clifton Hill. It was torn down to make room for the Niagara SkyWheel. I noticed last Thursday that another operator will be opening up a Golden Griddle close by. This is the Imperial Hotel & Suites on Victoria Avenue, about a…

                  Niagara SkyWheel loading ramps?

                  …or at least that’s what I assume this is. They’ve formed and poured a lot of concreted right underneath the Niagara SkyWheel:

                    Clifton Hill (HOCO side) curb changes

                    Almost a month ago I took a picture of the HOCO side of Clifton Hill where you could see that the parking that used to be there had been removed and the curb moved out. Well, I don’t know if it is HOCO or the city (I assume it’s HOCO) that is doing this work,…

                      MOM, DAD and the KIDS

                      From Buffalo News: Niagara Falls was made for memories, drawing families generation after generation for their new members’ introductions to its mist-soaked majesty. Too many Western New Yorkers have only a faded snapshot of themselves at the falls to remember it by. You can carp at the lack of upscale restaurants on the New York…
