I’ve never quite understood the way Screamers was setup. While facing the location, there was a scary attracion on the left, then Dino Rampage, then Dragon Star Restaurant, and then another scary attraction on the right. This picture is of the scary attracion on the right. This one never seemed to be opened, so I’m…
In a previous posting, regular visitor NiagaraRedSox commented that I should add some new features to the website: Hey Graham…have you ever considered having write ups and opinions on restaurants/hotels here in the niagara region on the site?

Last year I had a lot of postings on the snail-paced construction of a new patio at Coco’s on Murray Hill. It appears it is done and open for business:
I’ve written quite a bit about the DongBu Tours buidling that is going up on Stanley Avenue. The other day while I was walking by the building and noticed some signs up on the inside of the second floor tinted windows. First of all, without the zoom on my camera, I wouldn’t be able to…
I’ve contacted Marineland trying to get some information about this, but I haven’t heard from anyone yet (I’m not impressed!). They have finished putting up the mess covering that I showed in the previous posting:
